What's the deal with Kershaw and lock failure?

As long as the lock makes a cool noise when the knife opens I'm happy with the locks performance. And since I love taking pictures.

Now beat the spines against a concrete block for a few hours and see how happy you are!

:p

No prob for that frame lock salvo........But I'll skip on shooting them, and dipping them in molten lava. As long a I get my Click from the lock, or Clack in the Griptilian case
 
I hear you, man. There is a difference between making sure your lock is set with a few light taps and actually whacking the spine with excessive force. You have to really slam the spine on things to cause damage, and that is abuse, but simply tapping the spine on a table is not abuse and is a perfectly reasonable way to check if your knife has a secure lock up.

You won't find too many people willing to trust you or be open minded, though. Everybody is in little brand cliques on the forums, these days. They would rather just assume you are some caveman banging his knives like a lunatic, destroying what was certainly a perfectly fine lock up, before you got your hands on it. That's much easier than actually having a constructive conversation regarding a criticism of their favorite knife company.

Ok. Lets take op at his word and assume he broke 3 locks in a row after 'lightly' tappy tapping the spine.

The logical conclusion is that he really did get all the lemons.

If that's the case, then we should all stop replying to this thread before the curse passes to one of us!

You just know there's an angry review for a desk out there that got dented from lightly tapping it with the back of a folding knife's blade. Locks protect people from poor technique and bad judgement the same way a helmet protects a skydiver: If it comes down to needing it, you might already be in trouble.
