is this true - subcom

No. I mean, with any production knife you're gonna have a lemon come off the line occasionallly. There is always that one guy who gets that lemon and instead of sending it in to the warranty department, blasts the company for making a faulty product. Every subcom I've seen or handled locked up like a bank vault, including my own and the ones I've bought as gifts. If you one of the very very few unlucky people who gets one that does that send it in to Boker so they can replace it with a good one.
 
This has been talked about before actually. And it is something that is just not suppose to be done to a knife. Of course it will fail, The lock is not meant for that kind of use. Its not a hammer, its a knife. There is absolutely nothing wrong with SF, its the user that posted that video that has issues. I have lots of SF variants and i absolutely love frame lock on them. They are rock solid. All of them. If you use them for what they are meant, that is. I did have two birds that had lock fail, something i know for sure will never happen with SF. If you use it and not abuse it. SF is just as good as other knives i own that are much more expensive. No blade play, rock solid and a great great design. I hate this video, its a bad attempt of making SF frame lock look bad.
 
97 - see if you can get hold of one. open it. feel the lock "thwuk!" into place. that feel will definitely inspire confidence. just read all the praise for this cheap little knife on this page and you'll know it's a winner.
 
I have been carrying my Subcom F for about a year now on an almost daily basis, and it has never closed on me during use. Don't let that video dissuade you. The Subcoms are fantastic little knives. :thumbup:
 
spine whakkin :yawn::jerkit:
all 8 of mine have great framelocks....If the knife is held in the forward grip the index finger placement in the deep choil prevents the blade from closing :rolleyes:
 
apart from the fact that we know nothing about the knife in the movie in particular (is defective, did the user engaged liner well etc...), as said earlier the subcom is "immune" to that problem by conception: if the liner happens to fail, your finger will get stuck in the unsharpened choil that will stop the process. Probably not so pleasant but you wouldn't get cut.
 
Something tells me this guy's "experiments" will end with the loss of a finger or worse. This does not show anything about the knife's performance in the real world. If he got a replacement, he would find a new way to break it. I wonder how this guy would test the safety on a gun. When he does finally succeed in cutting a finger off, he's going to try to blame the knife not himself. Maybe the seller could get him to return the knife for a refund and a Cold Steel DVD.:)
 
Oh maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan...

Not THIS one again.:thumbdn::mad::thumbdn:
