Seems like spyderhole is much stronger part than the lock.

Reasonable like hitting frozen stuff with the back of a folding knife? Or reasonable like normal human reasonable?

This stuff is just funny. "Hey, I smashed the crap out of my knife and it broke, WTF?"

"My SoCom broke so Spyderco hole sucks!" LOL, whut?


Use any tool as it was intended and you will most likely have no problems. When posting, stay focused and stick to the situation at hand. Don't be condescending to other members when you are the one posting ridiculousness. Don't cry about "awful construction" when the failure was due to obvious idiotic abuse. There are lessons to be learned here....

Maybe the knife was abused prior to this failure, and or maybe the knife is counterfeit.

Doesn't matter how hard or how soft he was doing it, a knife is not meant for hitting. Its a cutting tool. Want to hit something? Buy a hammer, baseball bat, mail order bride...
 
The other issue which has been unaddressed so far is that using hardened knife steel to beat on anything frozen is asking for trouble. Materials are much more liable to fracture and be brittle at low temperatures. Steel is highly conductive and a steel blade will almost instantly drop to the temperature of what it is in contact with be it ice or a stove burner. One method for breaking "unbreakable" case hardened steel steering wheel locks or bicycle locks is to spray it with a can of refrigerant and then hit it with a hammer. Done correctly the lock often shatters.

Exactly. Although I'm not to sure about the mail order bride. :D

I'm willing to bet that knife had been abused before and the so-called "weak hits" on the frozen food package was simply the straw that broke the camel's back. Cause and effect. Do dumb-ass things, experience dumb-ass consequences.

Why does it seem like every once and a while, some foreigner comes here to start a thread about bashing every knife company out there. Regardless of the country they are from, I've seen this a few times.

Remember ahem...CVASIO?
 
Drove me nutty trying to get past dotDefender34b7-b23c-1a3c-5e6d
However...
Yes, the OP is getting cranky.
Sorry, mate. Coffee-time...for me too.

It's not always a foreigner. Sometimes it's a 71 year old karate preacher trying to find a knife with the weakest detent possible.

Who could forget that troll. I did have a good laugh rereading those old threads though...
 
Spyderco wouldn't replace it because it was blatantly abused. I couldn't really understand what you were saying so I don't really know what this guy was doing with his knife, but I've batoned with a linerless Spyderco Native without even any bladeplay developing.

Thanks, I got a good laugh out of that.:)
 
The OP's logic is poor. About all I have to say.
