I got the hankering for something new that I could buy locally. I took a chance and picked up a Steel Will Onrush. I'm not usually a tanto fan, but it suits the knife. Digging it so far

Been carrying my Spyderco Stretch that I purchased off of a member for years! Excellent knife and carries like a dream.

99% of the time it’s one of these

What do those two different arrangements of three circles on the flipper tabs mean?

What do those two different arrangements of three circles on the flipper tabs mean?

They are the generation 6 Hinderers. The ones that can use bearings, PB or teflon washers.

That was my first guess but

How come there are two different types of lines connecting the two images. One is a triangle and the other is a T

If you mean what I think you mean, part of the stonewashed flipper tab is in the blue one’s frame and blocking the whole triangle.
ETA Now I see what you mean. I’m guessing the whole triangle couldn’t fit on the tab. That one is a 3” model, so smaller flipper tab. I never noticed that until you pointed it out.
ETA one more time. If they could make the T, why couldn’t the make the triangle? Interesting...

Maybe they started with on one design and decided to switch to the other?

That could be. I'd like to know the reason for the different designs now. I wonder if any of the 3.5" ones have the T instead of the triangle. Time to go looking for some pictures and see if I come up with anything.

Every knife I checked on at DLT has the T. Couldn't find any with the triangle FWIW.

Curiouser and curiouser.

Btw just got this yesterday. My first Hinderer that isn’t a ZT.

It’s a great knife but definitely not as nice as a CRK. Now I just need a Strider to have a representative from the big 3 framelock guys.

Also the lockbar relief cutout plus the pocket clip means that it often the lip of my pocket gets stuck in there and it can be quite hard to pull out of my pocket

Good for retention, not great for withdrawl.
