New Bandito. Pics!!!

I'm not great at opening with thumb holes. So maybe I'm not the best person to test that feature LOL. I've been using the wave hook as a thumb stud and it works okay.
 
^^ Gotcha, thanks
I love the thin profiles of the Gentleman Jim and the Bandito.

They seem like they would be great in the pocket.
 
I'm not sure if his is a problem or not but when I open it by hand the lockup looks like this.



When I flick it open or use the wave feature lockup looks like this. It's a little hard to move the liner lock when it's in this position.

It's perfectly normal. I'm glad you like the knife! It's pure physics. When you wave the knife out of your pocket your applying a lot more kinetic energy to that blade movement. Naturally the lock is going to move over farther compared to just opening it up by hand. It's nothing to worry about.
 
Thanks for the info guys. It's a really sweet knife. Can't wait for my Persian and CQC-15 to get here.
 
I sampled a Bandito and a Gentleman Jim today. The thumbhole works very well, and the grip of the EB is very comfortable. My only nitpick is the "blade efficiency", which is better with the GJ.
