What's best blade profile. Hard choice

What'st eh best steel if money was no object. Hard choice

What's the best lock up given the metrics we generally gauge these things by?

I think we do have an answer unlike many other such questions about what knife to choose.

Now maybe in 2030 it won't be obvious. But in 2019 it is

The answer to all those questions is...what for it....

Depending on what you are doing and what your preferences are will dictate what is the best for you. There is no one grand metric like you want to tell everyone there is.

There is no best for everyone. To think otherwise is silly.

Of course the axis lock comments are about Benchmades - even though the patent is expired, they still own the name (registered trademark). While other companies/makers can now use that lock type, they can't call it an axis lock.

The chinese are making axis locks with better lock ups than 300 dollar folders

There are others out there

Big difference is now everyone can produce that knife not just those who don't care about American IP

And teh CBBL doesn't have these problems. They're absurd critiques trying to defend an inferior lock they own.

Have other makers (other than Ganzo) started using Axis type locks ? I wouldn't mind seeing some ! :cool::thumbsup:

I don't think that's how physics works, unless you are both tied to the knife and you are dangling off the side of the building and it's the only thing holding you up.

Or a big dog like the one in your picture comes at me. I take out my knife. For whatever reason I allow the dog to hit full force on the spine of my blade while putting pressure the other way. And now I've lost a finger

Or some big guy falls on me after i poke him and disengages the lock with the force of his fall.

Things get hectic. You're not gonna know it's gonna fail utnil it does.

We are well within force limits your average guy on the street can exert in this way or that

So your biggest concern about a knife is whether or not it will close on you when you try to stab a guy or a dog on the street?

You should visit the prac-tac subforum. They love this sort of fantasy there.

Oh yea mister case knife. You're an aficionado. Knives are such complicated things how could anyone wrap their heads around these complex topics? Oh man just leave it to those who know best and are taking my money, right? Hahaha

I don't have any brand loyalty nor am i stuck in sunk cost fallacy.

Unlike many of you. Just looking at something like a CBBL or axis you should know the moment you open it up it's superior.

Every maker here knows that. Whether they want to admit or not is another thing.

15 dollar chinese knives have superior lock ups to 300 dollar flippers.

You'd have to have not see the pin/CBBL/bar being above teh pivot is far superior to a tab of metal. It's ingenious relative to other manual folders. And obviously has very little downside if you don't make the springs too weak so it flips nice outta the box.

SMH ... if you think Case is all I own you may want to think again ... nothing wrong with Case either BTW ...

but I have had and still have many knives ... many brands ... and yes I have tried nearly every lock system there is ...

And the axis lock is ok in some respects but it is far from the one and only ...

but you don't comprehend what people say because you're to caught up in thinking you have all the answers ...

and people have time and time again posted truths that you blow off ... because you seem to think you are mr knife expert ...

there are many locks both good and bad ... and many that work better than the axis espcially in some conditions. ..

and you just dig yourself deeper trying to act superior and smarter then everyone ...

from telling us what we should want or use ... to telling me to read what I've already read ...

you can crow till the cows come home but it won't make a word you say anymore valid ...

you like the axis ... great buy benchmades ... you only like the axis ... never buy anything but benchmade ...

but trying to act superior or push your opinions on others is almost as silly as thinking the axis lock would be the best for all knives ...

now it's clear that you are beyond common sense or learning or civil discussions with rationality ...

so carry on ...
