so you get a new endura : fooling with lockback stability

I have done the carry, used a SAK for a long time, usually the locking versions and carry various slip joints, I can't remember it ever being a problem. Way too low an incident rate to check in this manner, the first thing I would need to do is just clone myself a thousand or so times to get a decent sample size. I'll work on that in the spring.

Once you get that technology figured out, lemme borrow it. I wanna make me a copy of Nicole Kidman, Nev Campbell, Angie Harmon and Natalie Portman.

And Aunt Jemima.

Although I realize individual experience is not statistacally significant, I had a police model carried for 14 years in rh pocket utilizing the clip. I never had a lock failure and only cleaned out "gunk" a few times, and maintained with zero lubrications. This was city, non blue collar carry however.

I read one posting about a guy who felt that tip down was inferior to tip up carry in regards to lint attraction. I found that hard to believe until he revealed he worked in a wood working or other high dust environment...where obviously the surrounding constant dust particles would build up more in an exposed tip down folder vs tip up. Apart from proper maintenance, the environment of daily exposure is also a factor the the evil lint droppings gumming up the lock.
 
Thanks for the great test's, much appreciated. I've had lint trick me into thinking my CF Harpy had extreme blade play, which would make anyone's day! The tip/down carry was exposed to lint at the carpet mill where I work(lint beyond your wildest imagination!) and was easily removed with a toothpick. The lint ball was not very large at all, but was enough to cause extreme side to side play, actually scared me pretty good. Now I check my lock back's frequently, and the tip/up Dodo is my work horse.
