I was going to try out these “signal lamps” from cnq, but they said they did not have any left. Does anyone know a good place to get them or something similar?
Just received this knife and can’t figure out how to get the blade out? Not sure if the item I received is damaged or I’m missing something obvious, but any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
There are two photos that I can see one above and this one
Notice the position of the slide on top of the knife, they are in the same position but on one the blade is retracted and on the other it is open. Could it be that the blade needs re-positioning after shipping. A lot of these blades have two cut-outs on the top of the blade allowing different positioning.
Sorry I don’t have one so I can’t tell exactly what the problem is.
Pictures would be good.
There’s a frame lock along the top, where my thumb is. Press the frame open and you can slide the blade out. Release the frame to lock it in place. (this may take some jiggling) Repeat to retract the blade back into the frame.
If you look at the photo above that isti posted and the photos I linked too on the AliExpress page then the blade is retracted and extended with the slide in the same position?
For some reason, I though there would be a small release button like on standard utility knives. I’m quite disappointed with this knife as I was expecting a little better quality. Much thinner and flimsier than expected. Both slabs of metal has significant pitting and even the blade that came with it was chipped. Oh well, $7 lesson learned.
Since FT, er, neglected, to publish my 2 (of 5) star review of this mini biner: EDCGEAR “S” Shaped Stainless Steel Anti-theft S-biner Carabiner, https://www.fasttech.com/p/1890000
Save your money!
This has to be the worst clone of the nite ize biner — https://www.fasttech.com/p/1792300 — ever. The security lock couldn’t initially be operated with finger strength. After I took a pair of pliers to it and wrenched it back and forth a while, it bent the gates enough that it could actually be used, though barely.
Thanks for the review, I’ve been eyeing those for the past few weeks. I guess the original Nite-Ize KeyRack locker is the cheapest way to get micro-locks.
I like to try the form-factor before dropping that kind of money on these “toys/tools.” Hinderer clone -> loved it and ended up buying the real thing. Strider clone -> looked cool, but found it uncomfortable for EDC. Rexford Clone -> not a fan of the size and prefer a more secure locking mechanism for the razor blade.
I checked out a real Rexford at the TAD store and wasn’t impressed considering the price. The blade sliding out worries me the most, but also found it too long to fit the coin pocket of my work pants (Gerber E.A.B fits perfectly).
Like with most knives and lights, the budget/knockoffs does everything I need to do at a fraction of the cost. My life doesn’t depend on these things (Amazon boxes aren’t that threatening), so I can’t justify the QC and durability of the name brand stuff.
