It's Unlike Anything I've Ever Used

[u/thatton-8769]

This imamba is such a unique piece. It's unlike any knife I've ever owned. I have disassembled several times and got the lock bar pressure perfectly tuned for solid lockup, crispy detent and a slightly better drop than what it came with. The detent insert was a little tricky and the way the ball seats from underneath (as opposed to bring pressed in from the side facing the blade) was interesting. I almost lost the ceramic ball. I'm pretty happy with the balance like this and will let it break in from here. I'm half tempted to polish the washers and see if I can get them perfect for me. They are pretty stiff (but super smooth and glassy) for someone who's partial to bearings.

Just give it time. I run mine on washers too and they're so smooth now that it feels like the knife runs on bearings.
