I believe that Spyderco uses handles with skeletionized liners(see def below) on the Para Military and the Military. Other companies such as Benchmade use full stainless steel liners on both sides. IMO full SS liners should be stronger than sleletionized liners but they will also be heaver. Lets assume we are going to beat the heck out of this knife.
My question is how strong does a knife handle have to be?
Has anyone ever heard of the handle on a Para Military or Military breaking?
Definition of Skeletonized or Nesting liners
Hollowing out a section in G-10 or other handle material on the inside of the handle where the lock and or liner is then inset/inlayed and fitted into the hollow section. Nesting increases strength and creates a thinner overall profile to the knife
