Good post. Having to pay for a repair of the lock/ stop pin because you abused your knife by continuously wrist flicked it open all day long is not too much to ask. In my opinion.
"Please note that excessive flicking of the blade will also produce a rough action. Continuous wrist flicking will eventually damage the lock because the stop pin and back of the blade are not designed for that sort of continual shock."
This is the only thing I could find on the Chris Reeve website related to flicking. Nothing on the warranty page says the warranty will be voided specifically due to flicking. I have heard that you will be charged the cost of a replacement stop pin if the lockup loosens due to flicking which won't be much. Maybe a sticky from Chris will dispel all rumors?
