Got bit by a wild turkey

[scarysharp]

I gave my dad a Kershaw Wild Turkey a few years back and he really loves it. So I asked to see it other day and I cant believe hot hard it was to open (lint,debris and the likes), so being the good son that I am I offer to clean it, sharpen it and lube it.
Wouldn't ya know the lock barely locks and with that OUCH!! . It bit me.
All the cleaning didnt help the lock part any better.

So do you think its worth it to send it in? Should I call?

You sure you didn't get bit by some Wild Turkey 101 before the Kershaw Wild Turkey bit you?

That's the first thing I thought of!

I'm sure Kershaw will take care of you. But perhaps you could explain how the lock failed?

I'm going with DoW and saying the lock on the Wild Turkey failed BECAUSE of the Wild Turkey!

You make a very good point - "How did it fail?".

Well I "made" it fail. I noticed the locking action wasn't quite right, so I gave it a spine wack - Not what you think, just lightly - I kinda knew it would fail, so that's where I got bit. As usual, not the knife at fault, just the user.
