Yea, I am a bit surprised too. I wonder if the cavity for the torsion bar was machined incorrectly? I am not abusing it in any way, so I am clueless.
I learned not to play with it as much after the first two. I still do play with it, but not to the point that I would expect it to break. Operative word being expect. How much is too much? Is flicking for a minute or two every few hours/days enough to cause a break?
Good point. I'll keep it manual. Apparently flicking is not allowed with an assisted knife.Obviously I believe you've already answered your question with 3 broken torsion bars.
