Kershaw Rogue Question

[JNieporte]

I pulled the trigger on one of these and I had a quick question.
You push the firing button to get the blade open and then push the button to unlock the blade (close it). Got it. My question is: from the closed position, if you push the firing button and hold it (without letting go), will the blade go into the "locked" position, or will it ricochet off the stop pin back to somewhere between fully open and closed?

Also, any photos of the Rogue would be good until it gets here
Thanks all.

The Rogue is an auto folder - so if you push the button, the blade spring out to the locked position.

I understand that it's an auto. What I mean is, if I push the firing button to open the knife and don't let go (keeping the button held in) will the blade ricochet off the stop pin into an other-than-locked-open position?

I ask because with some of my autos, I can push and hold the firing button and the blade will spring open, hit the stop pin, and because I'm still holding the button (which also unlocks the blade) the blade will ricochet off the stop pin and end up somewhere between the locked position and the closed position. Is this what your Rogue does if you hold the firing button down?

Nice photos, by the way :thumbup:
I am dying to get mine.

I doubt if it’s going to bounce off the stop pin with the button pressed continually. Kershaw is no beginner to this type of mechanism. They know what they are doing.

You can always wait till you get it…………. And ya know try it.
I know, the waiting is the hardest part.

It will just hit the stop pin, and, you know, stop.

I don't have one, but I assume it's fired by a coil spring, like most modern autos. If that is the case, the tension of the spring will hold it open, but just not locked open.

The only auto I have that bounces back is a Camillus paratrooper knife, but it's fired by a leaf spring, so there is no spring tension to keep it open.

I tried my SOG just now and it just fires open and stops in the open position no bouncing at all.

My Rogue will stay in the open position even when the button remains pressed in. Don't worry about it and enjoy a great knife

I think that leaf spring auto's are more likely to have rebound that the constant tension coil spring type. Of course if it fires really hard, there is always the chance it could happen.
