What about spine load? This is how most locks are tested, because it shows force required to overcome the lock and close the blade.
 
Something that big and bulky, I'd just take a slimmer, stronger fixed blade. Just kind of seems gimmicky to me.
 
Spine load is off the chart ! Typical lockback locking surface is minuscule compared to the ffk crossectional tang area locking surfaces.

There are no washers or bushings. blade/tang to handle tang area is is mated along matching crossectional surfaces. When locked it does act exactly like a fixed blade knife along every axis.

No it doesn't. Its a folder. It's not a fixed blade. Deal with it.

Ah. So this is spam. Thought so.
 
OK pal so what can we do for you?
Its not a fixed blade, Its a folder with some locking system that you claim makes it a fixed blade. If you are trying to dazzle us a get the orders pouring in I suggest that you talk about your product accurately and call it a folder with your FFk ?? locking system for starters.

And get the proper membership level to do so.
 
Wow thanks for the chance great giveaway always wanted a folder that was really a fixed blade. :thumbup:
 
Real simple.....Scenerio, 2 guys are dropped off in the middle of nowhere with 2 folders..... one guy has a sturdy lockback folder(you pick the brand) and the other has an FFK. The FFK will have Fixed Blade Capability, the lockback will not. Any Questions ?

Yes...if both knives can physically fold closed, and both knives have a locking mechanism which locks the blade into an open position since the knife blade is not permanently mated to the handle, how is it that one can constitute a fixed blade but the other cannot?

To truly test the fixed blade capability of this knife, it should go up against a sturdy fixed blade. If the fixed blade that carries like a fixed blade fails first, then I'll wish you congrats and take two of those... You'll have created the first folding knife that has true, authentic "fixed blade capability" beyond even a decent, actual fixed blade.
 
There are no washers or bushings. Blade/tang to handle/tang area are lined up along matching crossectional surfaces and collapse into each other(video). When locked it does act exactly like a fixed blade knife along every axis.

"fixed blade capability when all you can carry is a folder"
 
I'M NOT SAYING IT WILL BEAT A FIXED BLADE KNIFE OF COMPARABLE SIZE.....WHAT I AM SAYING IS THAT IT WILL GIVE THE USER A FOLDING KNIFE THAT WHEN DEPLOYED WILL PERFORM MOST TASKS THAT WOULD ONLY BE EXPECTED FROM A FIXED BLADE KNIFE.

"Fixed Blade Capability that carry's like a folder"

it looks like it would be uncomfortable to use, and i'll take comfort over strength any day.

Agreed. Strength must not be that important, anyway- I get by with a slipjoint most days haha!
 
What's the point? Knives are for cutting, crowbars are for prying. How well does it slice tomatos? How is the edge retention? These things are more important than lock strength.
