So i have been putting off titanium frame lock purchases despite having a few that i like because i worry about their longevity.
I hear so much about them developing lock rock quite quickly and the lock bars wearing out and being sent back in for work and that thought scares me. I like blades that will be good for home maintenance and not need to be sent away for lock bar replacement or larger stop pins.
Leads me to another question is titanium even a good lock bar material? Does it have any positives besides being lighter then steel?
Is it just a passing fad or am i missing something? Would a stainless liner lock suit someone like me better maybe? Lock rock would totally ruin the cool factor and just irritate the knife nut in me.
