Recon 1, in MagnaCut

Any updates, kreole, or has anyone else had the same problem ?
I haven't been carrying it to be honest. As the summer gets hotter I'll switch back from the XHP spearpoint, but the Taiwan is so much nicer I don't really have the mind to carry the MC right now (even if it didn't have the ticking time bomb lock bar issue). I will definitely update the thread as I carry it.

I did notice though when buying more waves from snaggletooth that they sell a backspacer for Recon 1s that they make as well, so I bought one of those to try next if it breaks again. They're fairly priced I'd say.
 
From my end, no updates. I just carry the XHP one when I want a Recon 1. A big draw of the Recon 1 (and other Cold Steels) for me is it being a foolproof, do anything knife, so the issue kind of killed it for me.

I haven't seen any other reports of the bar breaking though, so maybe it's a one off? Or was the FB post you mentioned also a broken tension bar?

Edit: FWIW GSM also never contacted me about my warranty claim.
