Factory Thread Locker on G10?
Posted: Tue Apr 03, 2018 9:30 am
My BNIB Manix 2 Backlock arrived........Yippee :)
So, I removed the pocket clip, to move it to the opposite end, as the factory position didn't suit me.
At first, I thought the torque pressure of the flange portion of the clip, had flattened the "points" of the textured G10, due to the area being shiny. I looked closer, and although it appears that my hunch is correct, there appears to be thread locker "squeeze out" covering about 35% of that area, in an irregular pattern. ( I.e. Slight shininess = "points" in texture flattened from pressure. Additional shininess = tread locker filled in "valleys" in texture.)
FYI - This is the most expensive knife I have ever purchased, and it will not be a "beater", in any sense of the word.
Any ideas how to remove the factory thread locker, without damaging the G10?
