Oh Gosh so I'm not the only one with problems? First it Tried to open it with the thumbstud since Flippers scare me and it make a bruise on my thumb that hurt so bad I had to have my Mommy kiss it to make me feel better and eat Lucky Charms till I was nursed back to health. Then I tried the Flipper after 2 months of therapy to get the mental strength to use the flipper. I opened so fast that the bearings caught on fire and burnt off my knuckle hair. Thank goodness my Mommy was on standby with Milk and Cookies and a 1st aid kit! So after my hair grew back and now wearing a Set of gloves, I flipped open the 0999 and finally saw the blade. The Grind on one side was .000000000000000000125 shorter then the other side!?!?! Then I went to cut some paper and it was Too Sharp! I didn't even get close to the paper and it was already cut! WTF?! Is this Normal...Then I gave it to my Cousin Billy Tom and he Spine whacked it on his Trailer and his Darn Trailer Fell apart! Then I tried to Carry it and realized it was over 5oz! Holy Batman on Christmas, I almost lost my pants! I was so disappointed that I put it in my desk drawer and never touched it till today. I go to use it to cut open a Letter from Chuck E Cheese and realize it has Blade Play!!! How could that happen, I've never used it. I heard these Ti Framelocks were Weak! Guess its true! Man ZT WTF, you make crappy knives, I'm going back to my Mtech, least they have pretty colors and shiny accents! Why make knives so sharp and strong! All I need a knife to do is open my cookies and to take pictures of it. Names like ELMAX and Vanax confuse me.... :stupid:
