I think the lock bar needs to be longer IMO. The geometry looks off to me.

I like it all but the blade shape.

Well. now that you mention it, I do think the lockface on the tang is too steep. But what do I know, I'm not a knife designer or maker.

Shorter lock bar = stronger. It was designed for strength

There is a post from Ed Schempp at SF discussing this and other design elements and choices.

Well, random mystery video no-one's seen vs. Ed Schempp. Hm, who to believe...

I don't know when but I will own this knife someday!

I love mine, I had it on pre order before it came out.

It honestly doesn't look to me like that lock would fail, unless it was disengaged. Problems usually boil down to operator error unfortunately. I am looking forward to getting one of these babies! They look awesome to me!

I always found this knife intriguing, however a broke college kid like myself cannot afford it
