Unfortunately the 31 will never be as smooth as the 21's just due to how they are built. And you can't crank the 31 pivot down like the 21's either
@ScotchNThingsСағат бұрын
Ya that’s why I started scooping up 21’s that interest me. The 31 can get smooth like a well used 21 it just takes some time and still it’s not anywhere really close to a well broken in 21.

Frog Lube liquid for removing tape, gunk etc. always works great for me. I have a handful of CRK and only two Grimsmo’s. Both very precise of course, but I think CRK is my kind of precision. I find the Grimsmo hardware not to interface as nice with tool bits. The backspacer closest to the pivot on the 31 affects the pivot tightness so don’t go full blast on that, it can tune tension almost as much as the pivot. Grease only for CRK’s on the washers no matter what Batman or anyone else says. It is designed to run on grease not liquid lubes. Some people mix grease and liquid lube, it just gets messier quicker.

Ya I agree with you on how well a crk is made. And anyone that likes to bag on them I don’t think ever really spent time with one. I need another 31 or 21 like I need a hole in my head but I’m always looking. For how much I love my striders it’s probably the best one and done knife out there.
