Spyderco and Kershaw at Walmart

I drove across the bay today to Walmart (I live in San Francisco), first time I have ever been in one, I found the sporting goods department and in a locked glass case I saw the OD-1, a zing, a leek and a tanto blur, I then wandered around for a bit looking for a clerk to help me, the first one worked in another department and was no help, I found another who told me they had to get a key and then walked away, I asked if I should wait by the case and I heard a grunt! 10 minutes later they come back (both of the clerks I talked to and they are in a heated discussion, clerk 1 complaining about something) clerk 2 opens the case and I purchase a zing and OD-1! yea!! no spydercos though : (.... I come home and there in my doorway with my gate still opened is my new Busse NMSFNO Yeah!!!!!!!!!! (luckily no one stole it) after being distracted by that big hunk of INFI (wow!!) I play with my new kershaws the OD-1 WOW!!!! very impressed on all accounts and the right size for my pocket (lately I have been EDCing a Native I) it flips open nicely and the construction and materials are great, the Zing I am less impressed with the flipper tab only opening the knife half way unless I snap my wrist a bit. and the thumbstuds are really hard to use (the angle cut on them don't help with this design) and my thumb rubs dangerously on the edge while opening it, I may return it in a day or two unless it starts to open easier, all in all a GREAT KNIFE DAY with some fun new toys!!
 
The zing needs a little break in time. Try preloading the flipper--pushing forward and then abruptly rolling it back/ or pushing straight down on flipper. Mine opens faster than some of my A/O knives.
 
zing def. needed some break in time, but now that i have flipped it prolly 1k times, it is smooth as butter, and as fast as my speedsafe knives.
