Triad lock failure ! Ouch!!

Before posting nonsense, you may want to read the video comments the poster himself posted:
"ya i did the test on the spine incorrectly. but my cut has healed."
'i have realized that this was my fault. it is a great lock"
Sorry you're so butthurt over your Sebenza failing! ;-)
 
Classic case of butt hurt lol this thread is a fail.

What are you hoping to accomplish with this thread?

I suppose the thread might have a Triad lock? Anyways.....you can't "accomplish" anything posting about pocket knives. Just sharing some info and sincerely interested if anyone else has had similar experiences before I invest in a Cold Steel. They are winning me over, just worried it might be hype.
 
Ha ha so funny.. Not really. Good luck with your thread.
 
He depressed the rocker lock. The lock didn't fail, the user accidentally disengaged the lock.

I guess the fact it might be accidentally disengaged might be its only shortcoming? How likely is that in real use?

A lock has to have some sort of way to disengage, just like a trigger has to have some sort of a way to be pulled.

When Tex Grebner shot himself in the leg, it was not a trigger system failure. He accidentally pulled the trigger.

If someone is chopping firewood at a campsite, and holds the log while chopping, and chops off a thumb, it is not a failure on the hatchet's part, it is user error.

This was use error.
 
0% chance in real use. The part of the lockbar you depress on the triad will sit in your palm and will not disengage. The person in the video was holding the knife backwards and striking it, which means some of the force of the strike allowed his finger to disengage the lock. This will not happen in normal use.

Ok I see, and agree. If used properly, the Tri-Ad lock is strong and safe and won't disengage. Just no spine-whacking I guess, but that's a dumb thing to do anyways.

No, no, you can spine whack them all day long..... just be sure you are not depressing the lock!

Or wear a chain mail glove, and depress away.....

I've had knives where with lock would fail with the lightest of pressure on the spine. Just a tiny bump.

The triad lock (or any of their other locks I have used) don't seem to have this shortcoming.

Probably because it is actually something they test.

Spine whacking a liner lock or a frame lock can damage the locking surfaces.

Avoid it.
 
I like to spine whack King crab legs while eating them. My butler tried it with a sebenza and recommended a triad.
 
Second thread of this nature in the CS subforum since Mr. Demko clearly displayed the indisputable superiority of the Code 4's Tri-Ad lock vs. a knife commonly lauded as "the best folder ever". Cold Steel's been causing insane levels of butthurt among those who prefer knife fashion over knife function since they first started releasing tests on video, and I absolutely love it.

Keep doing what you're doing, Cold Steel! :thumbup:
