Like the header says, show me some pics of your favorite overbuilt knives.......FOLDERS OR FIXED!

I've had my First Gen Chaves 228 in the safe for way too long!
Decided to reblast the scales, and redo the clip myself.
Now I wonder why I haven't carried it!

Let's see 'em!

Lol @ the 5% lockup. Overbuilt my a$$. Knife is only as strong as it's weakest link. One sharp whack would sheer that titanium frame and potentially ruin some fingers.

it will break in nicely with some use , I rather have longer lock life and properly use it ,then spine whacking it just to see its limit .

Well made integral locks will barley move with years of use. INSANELY EARLY LOCKUP is not only just a fad, but a weak point in design. A knife with 20-30% will last long enough to pass on to your grandchildren with proper care. 5% is silly.
