Late lock up on 560

A few things that are worth noting: The locking tang of the blade is milled in with and arc ramp rather than a flat angled ramp. The Arc in the ramp will keep your lock from going too far over since it hits a surface that curves upward more than a flat angled ramp can. Your lockup is a little late, but not what I would call unacceptable.

But with an arced tang mill cant isnt the knife at greater risk of developing rock lock as the part wear? With a straight angle to the tang it can wear until lock up is extremely late. With an arc you would think that that same early area will always wear and then cause vertical play.
