Hate for benchmade or spyderco

rocktheflock - If you have a Ruckus than a Spyderco Endura can be had for under $50 and it can be the "small" companion to your Ruckus.

Monochrom I should rephrase that to: Liner locks and any integral lock like the frame locks "can" on occasion be problematic in more ways than one.

I refer you to my liner frame lock quiz just to give you a tip of the ice berg view of the differences and/or controversy surrounding these style of locks.

Don't interpret this wrong though. I carry them, use them and make them. I also have my own ideas of what is best but am always open to someone that can show me scientifically that their way is better. It isn't that I am a liner or frame lock hater. I just tell it as I see it and if now and again I have to swallow my foot in the process I'll be ther first to admit it.

Please don't misunderstand, I never meant for you to think that I believed you hated liner or frame locks. My first liner lock knife was also my first tactical folder, a $15 Fury model that always locked-up rock solid. My other liner lock folders have all been from Benchmade, M.O.D. or Kershaw; that could explain why all of my experience with liner locks has been positive.

Likewise, my first framelock was also from Benchmade. It just seems to me that a lot of the reported failures of framelocks could have been avoided by not making the bar so easy to disengage. The only custom-made tactical folder I ever bought was a framelock of my own design. What I received was much smaller than what was agreed to. (Basically, I got cheated out of my $$$). And the framelock? If you breathed on it, it would disengage!:eek:
