I have just taken delivery of a BM730.
What a beefy, tuff sucker.
I never realized that this model is such a powerhouse.
I just love the smooth action of the Axis lock.
The way it pulls the blade to the closed position is rather pleasing as well.
Another thing that surprised me was the very good fit and finish.
The only other Axis lock I have is a BM550.
When the blade is open the locking pin rides forward and stops almost at the front of the slots.
In the 730 however, the locking pin only goes about ½ way up the slot.
Is this acceptable?
The lockup seems tight enough, but pin only just sits on the back of the blade.
Your input and comparisons to your Axis locks would be appreciated.
Thanks.
