Who is okay with linerlock slip ?

I said your not stupid in writing... did you interpret my words to mean something else? hmm see how that works? lol

The worlds best pizza is subjective

So is the term "hard use" :thumbup:

But companies generally companies have a warranty that tells you how to use their tools. Not too hard unless reading fine print is difficult.

 

[craytab]

Or maybe you can't? hmm oh well. What did you say about stupid earlier?

hmm, what does that mean, oh well.

 

[shinyedges]

I agree, hard use is subjective but it implies toughness that is why they use it right?

I'm not only ok with lock slip, I wish all knives did it

Yes, but implies is marketing. Marketing means jack when the fine print says otherwise.

Funny thing about what i said/wrote is if read literally, i never called you anything... i said your not stupid and asked what YOU said about it lol you interpreted it as an insult. Ill bring it down a notch no need for insults or hostility its a hobby we share in the end.

arrghh , i agree with you man. Hell were splitting hairs here and my point went completely off point lol

Who is lying? I see a bunch of nebulous ad copy made to deceive the stupid.

If you read the copy on the AutoLAWKS and do a youtube search for Hard Use Testing CRKT M16, I think it pushes the limits of nebulous ad copy.

Autolawks. Virtual fixed blade? Lol. I stand by your quote of what I said.

Wow, very little of the discussion herein has anything to do with the original post.

Jamesh, no, i wouldn't accept a knife to have lock slippage due to normal applied negative pressure. An impact is not normal use in my book for a folding knife.

I would return it for exchange or to manufacturer for warranty.

This same thread has been started in another forum. If there is a problem with any knife performing as expected then it stands to reason it needs to be sent back to the manufacturer for repair. Not too tough to do. The problems really start when we ponder the questions - to send it in or not, why did it not perform as expected out of the box, does the manufacturer even care, etc. If given a chance I would think that most manufacturers would gladly fix the issues, if the companies that do not fix the issues given the chance and write off or even ignore the concern (provided it is done in a polite and respectful manner), then there are many other manufacturers that can and will do a better job.
I think this question has been sufficiently answered by us spectators. It's time to have the owner and manufacturer deal with it on their own.

Too many people imagine they'll do things with their knives they are never actually going to do. I grew up with slipjoints, and in that respect, if you always assume the lock can fail, you'll likely use the knife in an appropriate manner in the first place.
