How early does your Military Lock up?

blade4sell · Mar 28, 2013

Hey guys...just got a military. Wondering how early does yours lock up? The seller of mine states it's a NeW Blade...but when openning the liner lock, locks up at 50%....is this normal? I have blurs even locking up as early as 25%....

It's normal and nothing to worry about if there's no blade play.

Pay more attention to when the radius starts on the tang than lockup percentage.

My liner lock Military has always locked up at 50% and has stayed there for 5 years.

My frame lock Military locks up at 60-70% (the tang radius and lock geometry are different than the liner lock version).

Most that I have(and had) are from 30% to 50% except for two. I had two Brown's that were very early. They locked up, but didn't even make a noise when doing so.
I've never had a Ti model.

That's how mine is - and no blade play.

Mine locks up at 50% as well. Rock solid. The whole package inspires a lot of confidence, when using it as intended.
