Keating Chinook ll

[Walt2]

Several months ago I asked for any pro or con comments on guys experience with the Keating Chinook ll. There were some comments at that time that there had been some problems with some slop in the locking mechanism of the knife.
Does anyone have any recent experience with some of the new ones? Any pro's or con's?

...locks up rock solid.

Mine has a tiny amout of vertical movement. You can feel it if you grab the blade and wiggle it firmly. The movement is so small that you cannot actually see the blade move, but only feel it. It is so slight that I don't really consider it blade play. The vast majority of all lockback will have SOME movement. It should not be a lot though.

My Chinook II has a little wiggle also. If you grab the blade and handle it will move. Not much at all. Other then that, it locks up great. I would recommend one.
Great knife.
