CRKT LAWKS Claim: Right or Hype?

...Boberama, ...when you got nothing but wet logs and if the blade was the only thing around hard enough to even begin trying to get at the dry stuff inside and hypothermia is a knocking..you'd be more then happy to pound that piece of steel into something. At the end of the day the knife is just a tool and if it doesn't help me in a pinch its nothing more then pocket adornment. Knowing the risks, I don't mind chancing blade failure if its ultimately constructive to a greater outcome. One handed operation of the autolawks is a breeze as you state. From my experience arch locks are even nicer- however the risk of catastrophic failure is greater since there is no bent liner lock to stop the blade from closing across your fingers.

Well.

I don't understand it one bit. If you're out in the woods take a fixed blade or a hatchet not a $50 pocketknife.
 
you dont always have the choice to kit up for the unexpected....isnt that why you carry a knife in the first place- for all the unplanned contingencies?..
 
@Boberama No doubt, if id have it my way id have my fallkniven grafted to my forearm.....there is no argument though..i know/knew it can damage the knife- but when its the only option, no stakes/wedges of wood or flat sharp stones to use instead- screw the knife if it can help esp when my core temp is dropping fast...

I just don't understand why people always feel the need to highlight that it's a bad thing to do, my comment was meant to illustrate the kind of force overloading it took to mess up the interlock- not to seek comments on the appropriateness my actions, esp since i highlighted my foreknowledge of the risks involved. weird..
 
Nutnfancy experienced a failure while batoning with a CRKT Carson with Lawks. The locking liner buckled. IMO CRKT liners are too thin for even occasional batoning and it doesn't matter if you stick a tiny widget behind it. Thin is thin, fail is fail.

At approximately what time in the video does the failure occur, cause I'd like to see it, but sure as hell not going to listen to him yap for 20 mins.

Bwahahahaha! :D

1:15 or so.

Personally I like that series of larger CRKTs. I only wish they had a grippier handle.
