Broke my new Luzon; knife fault or misuse??

Contact Cold Steel, not the retailer. They will make it good.

You honestly have to wait for “something else to play with” while you send it in? Lol

My awesome small length Luzon arrived not long ago and I figured out how to do a wave style opening from the pocket. First time I had a knife you could do this with.

It opens much quicker from the pocket than a finger flip. I was getting super fast at it, with that speed came a more powerful and forceful open. I got a bit carried away with it and a piece of metal right where the blade starts and the part the leaf spring is in contact with when locked open snapped. Now the leaf spring locks too far to one side and I have to pry it free with another knife swedge jammed in there to pop it free and shut the knife.

Kinda pissed, not sure if I should blame the materials or my usage. I flipped it from the pocket non stop every other minute for days before it happened.

I not gonna bother with warranty just chalk it up to experience.

Would you say this was misuse or problem with knife. I cancelled my order on the large Luzon - I love everything about this knife, it was my perfect folder.

I guess I will try a Ti-lite, it's much better spec on materials.

Dang it the Luzon is such a nice knife.

The original Luzon Large folders all have this problem. The newer versions don't. I'm sorry you can't return it. Some of the old versions are still being sold. I just bought one, and it had this problem. The all black version I bought, has had zero issues.

I would buy another one in a heartbeat. Thanks for info. Do you know if there is a way to ensure the newer version gets shipped?
