Another thread brought this to mind ...
I have had my Spyderco Military alot longer than my Benchmade Stryker and Emerson Commander and I guess even worked it harder than these other two, also. The titanium liner lock on my Stryker has moved all the way across the blade's tang because of wear and I now (just today) noticed my Commander which also has a ti liner lock starting to wear, but my Spyderco Military with the Stainless Steel liner lock is still only half way across the blade's tang, right wear it should be.
Shouldn't liner locks therfor be made out of Stainless Steel instead of Titanium being Ti is softer than S.S. and will wear faster? Has any one else noticed this too?
