Horrible quality control for the vantage

Just a suggestion: If you feel that a liner lock needs to be tested for integrity, apply a static load while keeping your fingers in a safe location and visually check for deflection of the locking tab. Alternatively, you can wait until someone posts about cutting themselves while spine whacking their knife on their laptop. In any case, don't put your own fingers in peril when there is somebody willing to do it for you.

Oh........this all sounds far too logical and healthy for the OP to digest.......but maybe?

OP? Did you read that? Does it make sense?

If you check his posts, he's been quite bitter since day one.

He did state in the Chinese Buck thread that he wouldn't buy a "Chinaknife". Luckily, Cold Steel offers so many US made knives.

I anticipated US made Bucks being quality, but they're clearly garbage. Between that and Spyderco's price gouging, and Benchmade's absurd pricing, I no longer believe US made is legitimate but is instead just another marketing ploy. I will gladly buy Taiwanese knives now, actually even more so than US made ones just to help implode those fraudulent manufacturers.

you can keep on being mad at me, don't let me stop you

>apply a static load

Static loads are meaningless because they don't simulate what actually occurs in reality. Hard and fast torques, which is to say bumps, are what happens, not precise and consistently applied force.

In other words, you're a moron.

Impetuous much?

Again I am guilty of being too optimistic and believing in the intrinsic goodness of human beings.

Sigh.
 
Yes.......one can foresee a "Spine-Whack" debate looming ahead.......and that sounds pretty boring.

What reality does a spine whack test? When does the spine experience force simulated by a spine whack in real knife use?

Precise and consistently applied force is exactly how I use a pocket knife, but then being a moron, what would I know. Wait--I know better than to hit my computer with a knife, especially with my fingers in the path of the closing blade.
