Mind sharing your experiences?Para military 2!
I don't trust zt frame locks. Experienced failures first hand. I think they need to re evaluate their frame lock situation. . . (MY OPINION)
Both.
And neither lock will fail during normal folder use.
Mind sharing your experiences?
I purchased one brand new, without any use. Once opened I could close the knife with my hands. If you you tube "0560 lock fail" you will find a similar video to my experience where guys can close their knifes on the back of the hands. Lucky the shop owner let me swap it for something better (benchmade Adamas). A mate of mine has a 0300, failed that with a light spine whack too. However it did settle in, and never failed again.
Then the same mate, purchased a 0560 about two weeks ago. He is a huge zt fan. And while we assessed which one to purchase, the 0561 or 0560, I did a similar test with the two, and could close the 0561 with my hand if I torqued it to side and tried to close. He still purchased the 0560 as it didnt have an issue. Others I have played with, have up and down play, with locks that you can see slipping. in my cases, just skip off completely. I think they are remarkable knifes. I have just experienced 2/3 lemons.
Hence my vote for lemon-less paramilitary2.
