Maybe I’m in the minority, but there lies the reason for this post. I’m genuinely wondering if there are many others who have been completely taken back by the consistent lack of parts availability by Flytanium for their own Arcade. Flytanium’s main marketing selling point for this knife was customization. Sound off and please check me if I’m being unreasonable, or let me know if my frustrations are shared. See below message I sent to Flytanium. I’m currently awaiting their response:
“I’m here to respectfully express disappointment in the lack of parts availability for the Arcade. Obviously, the knife was marketed as a canvas for personalizing your own build, however, there seems be be a complete failure on the part of Flytanium to support this idea, since most of the accessories are consistently unavailable. Don’t get me wrong, the knife is good, but I honestly don’t know if I would have purchased it if I understood the knife is what it is and I cannot actually do with it what it was marketed for. I mean literally the thing that makes this knife “stand out” is the ability to customize it to your liking. I wanted to express this directly to flytanium first, rather than initiating this discussion on the various media and forum platforms. I hope the support for this knife inferred by Flytanium at launch is actually facilitated and available to customers soon. If possible I would like a response that answers the question of weather or not there are plans by flytanium to increase parts availability on a consistent basis for the Arcade. Thank you.”

I’m not buying anything from Flytanium after they screwed me over on an order of screws for a bugout. (pun intended)
I used to love flytanium, but i’ve had a few bad experiences recently with them that are leading me away. I got an arcade when they first dropped and mine came with a big chunk out of the scales. I returned it. Bought some g10 bugout scales on closeout and you cant get the knife completely centered with them (no issues with stock scales). Bought a handful of titanium thumbstuds and some came with a hole clear through them. I messaged flytanium about it and they said it wasnt a defect (even though only some had it).
I don’t think it’s a very popular knife so they probably want to limit losses on a bunch of parts hanging around.
