  • @Salamando3D
    @Salamando3D Před 7 měsíci +2

    Awesome! I have the older (not bigger) brother of this one, the 11! Mine's very snappy, too. Being in WA I can't (or at least shouldn't 😉) carry it around town, but I love using it around the house! It's a perfect small carry knife for average tasks.
    Try loosening the pivot and/or body screws just a tad on your 6. The spring definitely could be a bit worn, especially if it's an original, but it should still be pretty snappy! I have a Launch 1 and the original spring in it was pretty dang snappy until I replaced it just to see if it would change anything and it really didn't change much. It has a bit more tension to keep the knife biased toward opening when I disengage the lock so that it doesn't just rest there open when I pull the blade down a touch. I think that was an issue on older model Launch's.
    Good stuff JB!

    • @BigRedEDC
      @BigRedEDC  Před 7 měsíci +2

    The Launch 18 is a great looking knife, the 1 and 6 was my favorite out of the series. The 11 was nice and the 9 was sweet for a small auto. In VA they passed the law allowing auto knife carry, and I still haven't decided which one I want. Thanks for sharing BigRed be safe.

    I like the similarities to the new ZT! Of course, I'd reaaaaally love to have them bring back some US made manual folders but maybe the auto mechanism smooths over some tolerance and tuning issues that a purely manual knife would need to take into account. That was the speedsafe conspiracy theory anyway. But at the end of the day, good knives cut and this is a slicing beauty!
