Gorgeous knife!
Just a heads-up, KnifeCenter is a BF-supporting dealer and it's more than fine to mention them by name.
Here's the full list of supporting vendors: https://www.bladeforums.com/threads/paid-dealer-members-list-updated-10-13-2019.1089879/

One retailer out there has exclusive blackout and black/stonewash 20cv Bareknuckles right now.
I didn't see them on the approved list, so I took their name out... Lol

I don't think I can... Lol but it is a retailer in Tennessee, in the smoky mountains.
Maybe I won't get in trouble for that...
I believe it was also talked about in the Kershaw/ZT picture thread.

No problem! I ordered one the day I saw it. Love the Bareknuckle, and now it will be even better!

Mine was pretty stiff at first, but broke in very nicely and is firm, but not uncomfortable. As for pressure on the lockbar causing deployment problems, it seems to affect some but not all. I guess it's up to the strength of the detent, how well broken in it is, and the amount of pressure. I don't have any problems with mine, it's one of my favorites to carry because of the blade length and shape, and relatively small footprint in the pocket.
Can't wait for my 20cv blackout Bareknuckle to get here!

the detent is strong but that makes it fire out . I have no issues with the lock bar it never gets in my way when flipping i5 open . I did dissembled the knife to clean up and lube the bearings . It was a bit sluggish.

I'm in Tennessee working, but will be back in Mississippi Thursday. Having the knife shipped to my moms house since I visit her on the way back and it's on the way to my class (working and teaching... Fun never ends!)
I'll post em when I get the box open!

Mine sure was. I didn't believe that was a real problem until I got mine. It also had a free spinning pivot, despite being keyed to the aluminum frame to prevent spinning... I don't think these are built particularly well, despite being American-made.

I installed a longer pocket clip complements of Kershaw and that seemed to help with mine as far as an anchor point for my fingers when deploying and staying off the Lockbar. With the sub frame lock the handle is somewhat narrow right there which complicates the issue but it's not bad now that I've swapped the clip out. I think it's probably one of the best Kershaw models out and I really like the sound of a 20CV one!
