Hi everyone
So my Tighe Raid from crkt has developed lock failure, as in I can make it fail with a single finger. I've taken it up with CRKT, this isn't a complaint thread, just wandering if this is common from button locks?
 
Button locks are common to have a little play, but outright failure is rare in locks from all reputable manufacturers. I have never had a button lock that I could force a failure on.
 
When I first got the knife there was no blade play but now I can use my pinkie to force a failure.
Another quick question, does anyone know how CRKT deals with these sort of issues?
 
They won't fix the knife, rather give you a mew one. That is as long as there has been no signs of abuse or modifications to the knife/lock itself.

Benchmade repaired my button lock for free when it got a "little play" so I don't think it's common, unless you are talking low-end knives. I only have two button locks (W&H and Benchmade) and neither has play (once the Benchmade was fixed ~10 years ago.)
 
Benchmade and WH are far different companies than CRKT in terms of quality and country of manufacture.
