I just happened to be perusing Bladehq, and noticed the a Fox Knives folding knife has the following description:

"The A.C.D. (Advance Combat Diver) knife is a liner lock folding knife that offers a secure secondary lock for fixed blade like performance."

So not to bring up old war wounds, but how does this compare to the Cold Steel vs. CRKT "virtual" ordeal?
 
I really hope they don't care anymore, because I like Cold Steel, and I don't want them to be viewed poorly because of it.

Especially not when they've just taken a huge leap into the higher levels of production knives where they are much more immersed in the more...shall we say, "discerning" community and consumer market.

I want to see them do well and keep making fantastic hard-use knives.

I wouldn't be all that surprised if it was an issue though, since the system that Fox is using looks an AWFUL lot like the LAWKS system...:rolleyes:
 
Now with 50% more fixed bladey-ness!

And by the way....a folding "combat dive" knife? Oy. :rolleyes:

Saying my wife works and saying my wife ALMOST works are two separate things. If my chihuahua had pit bull like attributes, is that the same as having a pit bull?

Now if I said my chihuahua was virtually a pit bull there's a whole can of trash talk coming my way.

If I said my chihuahua had put bull like performance, well, that's a lot of pit bull packed into a small body and peanut head but it could be possible.
 
It is made of N690Co though!

I love the whole "locking mechanism fixed blade performance" nonsense. When locking folders first came out, they made the same claim.

Now, you need a "secondary lock" to make that claim.

I wont believe "fixed blade performance" on a folder until someone comes out with one with a a septenary locking mechanism.

Didn't have to look it up, but man I had to wait a second to remember what it meant ;)
Having a mother who is an English major has paid off a little bit more again today :D
