Because all we talk about on BladeForums is lock strength? /sarcasm

Lock strength is the paramount concern and benchmark for folders, so obviously, that's what's marketed. Manufacturers make videos to show people what they want to see, aka marketing, then buyers mimic or elaborate those tests at home and make their own videos for posterity.

It's the same reason you see prying videos for fixed blades, it's the perceived measure of toughness.

To think the likes of ZT, Spyderco, Benchmade, Emerson, Strider, and even companies like Victorinox have never considered and test lateral stability, is folly. At the very least, it's tested to reveal design flaws that would lead to potential lawsuits, which I'm sure is a big concern to most successful knife manufacturers.

I say this with regards to hopefully seeing you succeed with this design.... You need to put down the keyboard and find someone with PR experience, because your delusions of grandeur are sucking the potential and profit out of your design here.

Totally agree with your last sentence. Its a cool design, mechanically interesting. With a closed two sided handle it will probably feel good in the hand. The now open side needs a cutout that fits the closing lever so when its a (sigh) fixed open blade :) it feels like one piece.

Its just the attitude of this guy... I don't know him and don't like him already. I understand creating something cool and loving it to death but not accepting criticism and dealing with it by slapping people in the face with a keyboard... Meh.
 
This guy is all over the place. This is going nowhere and it's going there at a rate of knots.

What exactly were you trying to achieve and what problems were you trying to solve when you sat down to design this ? There is so much missing from the overall package here I have assume you are just putting a knife round this locking mechanism without any consideration of the other design aspects covered in knife design. This knife is a problem looking for a solution, IMO......

The FFK is my design/solution to increase lateral strength in a folding knife approaching that of a fixed blade. I believe it comes very close. If you have a better idea that increases lateral strength in a folding knfe,... I am interested in hearing it.

As others have said, let's see some tests! Test the knife side-by-side with a Tri-Ad lock, doing the exact same thing to each. If the knife proves itself to be able to take more than the Tri-Ad lock, then you've proven your claims and established your locking mechanism with much more credibility than text claims or pictures.


!!!!!!!!!!

This whole thing has me wondering just how many have actually had the lock on a quality modern knife fail. =) Plus my question is did the blade break before the lock failed for those that have.

Seriously. How many knives have had the pivot fail prior to blade breakage on lateral stress. With a well built folder, I don't see this happening easily.

The way he's dressed, I always expect him to try and sell me a used laptop or convince me to upgrade my cellphone plan. He's a black fedora away from slinging Doritos at Comic-Con.

That may have been the point, it is a thread about nothing.
A guy has a knife he hasn't tested, but makes extreme claims.
Was never going to be good.

I wish him well, i'm on the 50 yard line with a bag of Popcorn and my propellered Beanie hat on!

I wish him well too. Always good to see something new.
Strange to make such claims, without testing the prototype in his hand, though.
Maybe it is a bit of grail syndrome: it might take 6 months before he can bring himself to use the new toy.

Never. And I fully expect the blade to break on some of my more beefier knives before the lock fails from actual use and not some stupid spine whacking tests or other abuse tests people do. And considering I prefer slip joints I don't see myself breaking a knife's locking mechanism anytime soon.

Damn, I never get tired of seeing this! I believe last time you said you used it to cut a building in half LOL!!! :p

A Jarbenza in the wrong hands is capable of destroying the entire world. Paired with my Swiss Bubble knife I have the perfect combo. Notice how the board almost split itself just from the touch of a Jarbenza. :eek:

That's what I am here for ;) Now if somebody could build a folding Bubble knife with Fixed blade capabilities that would truly be grail I would pay dearly for ! :confused:
