det,
That's what it seems to look like to me, unless Eric isn't sure...
Are the RTr's liners Ti or SS? That might make a difference.
On a tangent, it's also kind of a shame that the liners on the B/S 882 went from 0.040 to 0.050 and not thicker, but then again, it's SS.

I'm not trying to hide anything, I do have another life also (not much of one, but I do have one 
)
I wanted to talk to the shop manager to make sure I gave you very specific information on this topic so that I could accurately answer your questions.
However, since we both have been busy I haven't been able to get that info.
But I will stumble through the info as I know it. The liners are hardened stainless. The lock is radiused, which increases the the reliability of a liner lock tremendously. The liners are .040" thick
Just another note, regarding the Rat Trap.
We made this folder to be durable, a good cutter, and to be a reliable lightweight EDC. Our folder was not built to be a tank, or beat the "biggest" folder on the block. It is incredible well built and will handle a lot of abuse(as all of our products do) however, we wanted to make sure it could be worn without pulling your pants down While the lock is reliable and strong, it is not near as strong as the lock on our Howling Rat
