Tyrade lock failure

[pilote]

i've been using a Ti Tyrade in utility use for a couple years now...i don't baby it, nor do i throw it...i've even digged with it...as far as i can tell there has been NO clue or suspicion of any lock failure during use, period.

Well, the knife should definitely be dug from the trash and sent to me...

So anyone who comes here and posts a thread about a problem with a knife is trolling? What exactly sounds like trolling to you? Sounds like something happened to his knife and wanted to get other people's opinion and see if it might be a common problem. Besides getting lectured on sticking a knife into a wood table from a foot away, he also found someone who has similar problems in multiples of the same model knife. He uses his real name, has been a member here for 5 years and doesn't post that much. This nor any of his other posts sound like trolling to me. Actually, your posts in this thread sound more like trolling with the intent to get people 'worked' up. You are not contributing to the thread at all. I believe exactly what he said happened because I have had frame/ liner locks fail with just hand pressure on the back of the blade. I don't buy cheap knives and have had it happen on multiple knives from highly liked companies that cost $30 and up. I guess because I have experienced problems I am trolling as well.

He didn't come here for opinions. Forget throwing the knife into wood. He already made up his mind and threw the knife away. He never talked to the manufacturer and decided to make a thread about how something failed him and he didn't do anything to try to fix it. It is an extremely illogical string of events. If he DID actually do all of that then he deserves massive flames for doing something wasteful and stupid.

Am I to assume that all the knives that you bought and have experienced lock failures have all ended with tossing the knife into the garbage? I would believe the guy if he tried to get the knife fixed and got told that he was out of luck and came here to complain. If hes been paying attention for 5 years he can see the company's track record and what happens when you go about things the right way to get something fixed. From what I have seen he still might get some kind of help.
