I tried on my flippers and there seems to be an insert of some kind. I can fully pull it. Do I use the insert or was it for shipping purpose?

I think that is just for shipping to keep the shape. If you look very closely on the tab it tells you to remove, it is very hard to see.

Oh yeah, you have to pull that out. Flippers feel much better once you get rid of the insert.

It comes that way. You just unscrew it, then reattach it the correct way. It comes this way so it can fit in the box and to prevent the handle from being damaged if it's mishandled during shipping.

The end that inserts is tapered. The only way you can know for sure is to order the part. Sorry. They are not that expensive and you can always get a refund.

I'm wondering the same thing. Extra pins, fish skeleton in the same colors I ordered. Puzzling.

If I was u , I would contact the manufactor and ask if that part is available , I would think it is . I hope that is helpful , but that is what I would do , or try a marine store , but I would go for the first idea first . Also maybe check ebay , hell everything is for sale on ebay ,lol

Christopher, I hade the same problem until, I cleaned the oil of the insert and tapped it in using a block of wood and hammer and it stayed. I have been using it ever since with no problem. I hope this helps. Khalid

I don't think the nut can be adjusted as it's kind of a revet type, Probably you could call the support and ask ? .I am almost ready to call the warrenty department as I end up in having couple of chips on the eds whilst cutting red snapper fin! .. I wasn't expecting this through..

i don't recall location of insertion.. might ask company selling product.. know if it is tech -n -get they charge 20% of cost of item for item restocking if u return . my point of view is that is a big cost for something not working so make sure it is what u want!!

no, but, it really doesn't need one. this knife is pretty hard to deploy with ought the flipper, so accidental open is almost impossible. ive never heard of it happening. nor has it happened against me. no worries about it.

These are Drop Shipped as are most of our products, direct from the Distributor. I was waiting for some answers from them on other issues today but they never did get back to me. So did it come in just a plain corrugated box or in some other manufacturers packaging? I can't imagine, as large and respected as this distributor is that they would ship anything but the genuine article. Maybe it had something to do with the shipping container and the fit. If you just received it and think that it is not genuine or you may want it replaced, do not use it for now if you have any reason to think it might be returned. I won't be able to reach them now until Monday and if need be I can have them call you to explain. I really don't think there are any knock offs or other brands of that product but we can ask them. Are there any other product numbers, embossed markings that may indicate the brand? There is an SKU for it but I don't know if it is embedded in the material or not. Let me know if you want me to continue to verify this and I will get with them and then back to you or have them contact you. Thanks, Bob Sex-Trix

There is a tag on the inside edge marked Front. Just pass the edge through hand to hand until you find it. To make this unnessecery in the future, I remove the cover from the rear, folding to the front until it is laying across the front.then stuff the roll from one side into the mesh bag. Then I reverse process to install. Works quick and smooth. Faster if you have two people, one on each side of the boat.Good luck. Bill

An assisted opening knife only takes a small amount of manual movement before the spring or cam takes over. A flipper knife like this one is completely manual. If you don't open it forcefully enough, it will fail to deploy and you will have to use the thumb studs to finish opening it. If it feels too tight to open easily, you can loosen the screw holding the blade on or completely disassemble and lube the action and it will smooth everything up.

John, the flipper does stick out 1/4 inch and it is not a real problem. This is a larger knife however so you know you have it in your pocket but not in a bad way. If you need to get coins or lip balm out of your pocket you do need to pull the knife out in order to do so comfortably. That said I absolutely love this knife and as I mentioned in my original review it is worth the money. The flipper works great and you can present this knife is a flash if needed without the drama associated with a spring assist. I hope they continue to make this design for a long time to come as it is a great knife. John, the flipper does stick out 1/4 inch and it is not a real problem.

I put it away, but I think there's a little clip Daiwa puts on its reels to hold the line. If the line is jumping off the reel, perhaps you wound it backwards. There are instructive youtubes, in case this may be a possibility. It's easier to understand if you see it than if you listen or read it. Also, I put spiderwire on mine, which tends to be limp, narrow, and tough.

AR_Kayaker, Not anymore. I called Polar and they no longer make the SmartFabric straps. This is the "new" softstrap, and the contacts are now a rubbery deal. Less static buildup, but the chest strap is a much cheaper, more slippery material. That, and the hook cover is pretty minimal; been rowing on a Concept2 daily since November 24, and I've worn a hole on either side of my ribcage from the tag that supposed to protect you from the metal hook end. It's nowhere near the quality of the Wearlink that was pictured here, but this is what they're making now. I'm adding some First Aid tape, and rowing on. AR_Kayaker, Not anymore.

Sorry, can't help ya. My shipping was free. Btw, unless this is just a tool around boat, I'd buy something else. You certainly get what you pay for.
