I have saw this one for some times. But I am not sure how about this one. There are alot of topic about T2 but no one have talk about this one.

I bought a Prest folder last month. It was a really cool little knife, one of the neatest locking mechanisms I've ever seen. After a couple of days of usage, [i.e. opening and closing], the blade developed play, both horizontal and vertical. I was pretty bummed out. After reading others forumites experience with this locking mechanism I decided to return it. I don't know whether Lone Wolf standards aren't up to par, or if the design is just flawed. Either way, I can't live with a knife that gets wobbly after a week. I've had Benchmade Axis locks that are rock solid after several YEARS of usage.
 
I've had the Gerber versions of the Paul lock and have not had a problem with blade play at all,and this is after many years of opening & closing it.I was looking forward to the longer blade on the Lone Wolf (3 1/4") I believe.Does anyone else have a problem with the Lone Wolf Paul lock?
BTW I had the opportunity to handle a custom Paul axial lock yrs.ago at a knife show.The smoothness was incredible,the fit was amazing,so was the price.
