Must have been a serious knot. I would have sent the thing back to Kershaw. If it was light prying it shouldn't have broken and I would be upset about it myself. Especially if it closed on my hand! That thing will cut a finger off.
It wasn't a mechanical failure in the sense that one or any of the parts had ceased to function properly. The fact was as I was twisting it inside the knot the meat of my hand and the direction of movement disengaged the liner-lock. Stupid user. Kershaw makes great knives and my blackout is among them. But... give a sharp blade to a dumb guy and the possibilities for personal loss and injury are endless!
God bless,
