Spyderco Military Lock

Interesting. Everybody knows that I'm a big Military fan, but I expected there to still be many white knuckling and torque issues with the latest model.
 
So did I. So far though the lock has proved to be 100% stable and easily enough to be fully functional using the criteria that Steve Harvey has often noted. SPecifically, based on the wood splitting I was doing, it would seem the amount of torque and vertical load necessary to disengage the lock would be in the same class as those which could breaking the knife. Of course all of these lock examination needs to be repeated with extended use of the knife to check for consistency after work, it is now EDC for that purpose. It is a very fine large utility folder.

There have been many many changes to the Military over the years. Almost too many to count. It's an ever-evolving piece for Spyderco, and really shows Spyderco's dedication to getting the most out of a folder. Sal has brought a good folder design to a very high state of refinement, from both design and production standpoints.
 
hey Buzz, howzit goin? Saw on the Spydie forum that the g10 is thicker on the s30v versions and no more eccentric pivot pin...perhaps this accounts for the change in lock security Cliff described.
 
I guess it also depends on the user hands. Meaty hands will tend to disengage the lock (linerlock or lockback) more. That's why Spyderco made the Salsa ;)
