Question on my new SnG.
First, i wanted to confirm what Mick said about the knife's lock needing to break in, the lock only started to engage properly after about 100 openings and closings, and since i used my thumb to disengage the STIFF frame lock each time, my thumb is SORE. But, the lock is now engaging very nicely, right where i like to see it.
My question is, i know those little thumb stud looking things arent studs and are really blade stops, BUT, i think i have actually found that i can open the knife easier using them as a regular thumb stud than the cut out. Does anybody else use those as a stud, or am i crazy?
Well, im impressed with this knife, i wrote a pretty glowing review in the general forum, and i think ill probably have to buy more Striders now. There goes the bank account. Rent shment, i need an AR!
Ive always only used my cheaper knives, afraid to damage my higher-end knives, but you guys are right, this knife would be so much fun to use, ive never been this tempted to throw caution to the wind and use the crap out of an expensive knife.
Great knife guys.
