Is the Frame lock a two stage or is my knife not broke in yet? It locks up pretty good on the initial opening.

Is the "two stage" comment serious? The knife looks like it locks up fully, 100%. Is that an issue for you? If so contact Kershaw and get it looked at.

Yes why would it not be serious? I took the time to add pictures to try and explain the best I could. I have no issue with the knife. Did I break the rules or is there a reason you are giving me hard time?
 
I've just looked at my leek.
If I push the lock bar hard after the initial engagement (20%) it will go all the way to 100%.
I don't think it's two stage by design.

I wouldn't be too happy with that 100% engagement. Just a little too far for me. I've owned a couple of Leeks in the past and none of them did this. It's up to you whether you want t send it in. I know their customer service department is top notch. They'll take care of you.
