Cliff, with the way that you bash Chris Reeve and his knives, it seems to me as though you are bitter for some reason or another....did one of his blades fail on you while under use or something?
I am not a 'professional' in reviewing knives and other edged tools, however, I know what works for me and I know what locks/knives I can trust and which ones I can't. The integral framelock is one that I know that I can trust. Although I've owned a Sebenza for only a little over a week, I know that I can use it without worrying about the blade closing on my fingers, the lock disengaging, the S30V steel 'rolling' on me, etc..
As far as the integral framelock goes, I believe that you would REALLY have to make an effort to disengage it while in use.
IMO, if someone needs more reliability than a framelock has to offer, then he would be much better off just getting a fixed blade.
