Silly little story

[dogstar]

I have a 444 with a 1997 tang stamp. Bought it used, just use it as a utility knife. I've peened the pivot pin to tighten up blade play, but there is significant lock rock. Just for the heck of it, I decided to do some medium intensity spine whacks and overstrike test on my table. Surprised the heck out of me. I fully expected the lock to fail, but it didn't.

Never underestimate a Buck.

Now that story is just a bit too wacky to believe. (meant as humor)

Seriously, we're supposed to believe this is actually a good well made pocket knife even though it's not huge and built like a tank ?
I just don't buy it, everybody knows a good knife has to lock like a bank vault and be built to withstand hammering through steel oil drums.

that ain't a bad thing, if you're gonna do that with a folding knife.

I like the Andrew Demko locks. his ram safe lock on the cs pocket bushman. the tri-ad lock. scorpion lock. shark lock. I would have loved to have seen him have done some work with Buck. now that he's free from the cs buyout and on his own.....who knows? any company could do far worse than work with a genuis like Demko. hes a credit to this country and knife making. improving on something far better ain't ever a bad thing.
