Lemifshe ringer teardown pic and brief first impression

Teardown

  • note the washers on the body screws. Unusual. Also note that the body screws go straight into the TI of the opposing scale. This is generally frowned upon, since should you strip it, then you need a new scale, rather than needing a new screw... It looks very cool though.
  • I stripped a Torx tip (😬) undoing one of the body screws. They are way, way too tight. Like, someone's gonna ruin theirs tight.
  • ICYMI , and please correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that the backspacer is the tuning fork.

Initial Thoughts

  • Out of the box mine does not ting at all like in the vid. When I deploy it very aggressively I sort of hear a faint ting, but nothing like my clone Factor. I'm going to clean it up, lube it up reassemble and cross my fingers. I'm hoping that it just needs to wear in.
  • out to the box, there is absolutely no lock rock of any kind and action is smooth
  • however, the detent is woefully light - like you rest your middle finger against the thumb stud and get ready to flick and it half deploys. I'm going to tighten that up , my cross my fingers, reassemble and will post back.

Cheers
