I posted a question on the general forum asking about the strength of the "super locks" and got a lot of good responses. But I'd really like to sharpen the focus here and ask if anyone makes a folder that can be used to back cut with?
Somebody might wonder why I would even consider doing this with a folder. The answer is simple, I train with and carry both fixed and folding blades. My fixed blade training is in Keatings Western Bowie. This means that back cutting is part of my training. We all know that what you train with comes out under stress.
So if it's possible, I would like to have a folder which can be used to back cut with.
I bought the CRKT Crawford KFF because of the secondary lock, and it works. But I wanted a longer blade so I bought the Sifu. It doesn't cut it, it tends to fold right up. I sent it back to have it looked at and they said it was in perfect working order.
So is there anyone out there as crazy as me who does have a back cutting folder?

All you need is love... a sharp blade and a full clip
