:thumbup:Yesterday I got my christmas presant from my GF. Being the star that she is I was handed a brand new Spydy Tenacious PE. I'd heard this was made in China...hmmm? But within the 1st minute that thought had changed to 'seriously? made in China? no way!' Honestly Sal and co have some awesome quality control and must have a pretty good outfit working for them in China because the build quality on this thing is great. No complaints. Solid as a rock, G10 scales, razor sharp (shaved patch on arm to show it) out of the box...I could go on but suffice to say i'm well pleased.
I have one question though and one only. This is the 1st largish production Spyderco liner lock model I've gotten and I notice that when the knife is locked open the back of the blade near the pivot point is locked up against a frame pin which gives the knife its rigididty. (I hope that makes sense) Can anyone comment on how secure that frame pin is. Has a spine pressure failure test been done on this knife. I imagine it would take a fair amount of downward force to pop that pin but it's the only 'weak point' (not saying it's weak but it looks as though alot of force would be focused on it).
Anyway if anyone could answer me about this great knife it'd be much appreciated.
