Do you mean Knife Center? You're really reaching for straws. Do you think that a retailer's description is official and represents the view of the producer. Just plain silly.

Check out osogrande's description. Then come back and tell me how silly I am.

And Demko has said that the hole in the 4 max is part of the locking system. So you can put a pin in and it's still part of the integral, manufacturer/designer designated locking system.

Where's the pin?

I don't know how many times this needs to be said, but that is just a blatant falsehood. In this and several other lock test videos Demko clearly and repeatedly states that lock strength is not the only factor that makes a good knife, just a factor that Cold Steel tests, and that the competing knives they test are good/great knives.

Now I get it. He's performing these tests to make the competing knives look good. :rolleyes:

You're just making stuff up.

Oh good. For a minute there I thought you were being serious. :D Sometimes it's hard to pick up meanings on the Intrawebs. :confused: ;)
 
If anyone has a problem with that statement I fully recommend they bring it up with kidcongo as he is the individual who stated that ridiculous opinion.

Your turn in the saddle-..Somber can join in on this too as he has stated pretty much the same thing

What makes you think that CRK designed the lock as a safety feature? If you read back through this thread,..I have addressed this around 2x that it was not designed as a safety feature.

That's the entire point of a folding knife lock.
 
Some posts aren't worth addressing. As far as I'm concerned, the one in your signature is a perfect example of just such a post. It's ridiculous on its face.

So, you put a post in your signature for the sole purpose of pointing and saying "look how dumb this guy and his opinion is"?

Glad to see we're conducting ourselves with character. Stay classy.
 
Yea kidcongo must be an actual kid in the Congo if he believes that preposterous crap.

I feel that the RIL is a safety feature because without use of a backspring the knife would flop closed, unless force is applied to the cutting edge (forcing the tang against the stop-pin). Therefore, a locking mechanism on a knife doesn't serve any other purpose than to keep the knife open while in use, preventing it from closing at inopportune times. Arguing that it doesn't serve as a safety mechanism is disingenuous at best.

You, too, champ.

FWIW, I get to put whatever I want in my signature. I choose to bring attention to the more ridiculous aspects of BF in a non-disparaging way.
 
That statement is worthy of being noted as the garbage it is, my only thing is somber should add to his signature that he does not agree with that ludacris opinion so as not to be confused for the fool himself.

If CR's knives can do this without damage, it's good enough for me. I don't care how much weight they can, or can't hold.

This truly isn't meant as an insult to you, but I think you're just not understanding what I type.

Still silly. Yet again, it's just a retailer. Their description does not represent Cold Steel's view, is not official, and is just semantics. You're really, blatantly reaching for straws to fuel this "Demko is afraid to test against the Extrema Ratio" argument.

Where's the pin?
Click to expand...

Not there, but the hole is included as part of the locking system. It doesn't need a pin, you can use whatever you want. Certainly no more impractical than having a pin dangling on your knife that you have to screw in if you want your lock fully engaged. I prefer to be able to open and lock my knife with one hand, not two hands taking waaay longer. Not very practical.

Now I get it. He's performing these tests to make the competing knives look good. :rolleyes:

He's performing these tests because fans and the company demand it, as stated in the video. Either you didn't watch the video or you're purposefully distorting the purpose and content of it. Be offended as much as you like, I don't think it's going to damage Demko's reputation when people who actually watch the video without intense bias see how respectful of the competing knives he is in the videos.

Well, I've owned and used both knives as well as others from each company. What keyboard commando school did you get your expert certificate from? :D

Not to detract from this thrilling and inspiring thread, but if you took a moment to follow the comment link in my signature you will see that I was one of the few proponents of flippers in that particular thread. For years on BladeForums I have had comments like this in my signature with nothing more than the comment at face value. I don't post much and you're relatively new here, so you most likely haven't seen the evolution of it.
 
There is no link in your signature that I can see.. Maybe because I'm on a phone?

The evolution of what exactly?

It's all good. But I suspect a lot of folks won't be aware of the background and interpret that post at face value. At a minimum, I'd put a rolleyes smiley under the post so folks have an idea of what you really think of it. Just a thought . . .
 
Can you see a link in his signature? I can't, and a rolleseyes icon is a great idea.

That Russian gentlemen beats the crap out folders. I've seen a few of his videos. Many of the same folders that fail Cold Steel's tests in seconds.
 
No kidding, if the testers are Russian I watch it. Watched them wail on an orange handled Military once, very impressive!
