I have the Pat Crawford version of this folder. An excellent choice. I'm sure the CRKT flavor is much more affordable. Ray Terry _rterry@idiom.com_ (mailto:rterry@idiom.com) Yes...probably over $250 cheaper than the full custom Crawford Knives model. For that kind of money, I'd rather but a custom fixed blade,,,or pay bills! :-) K.

I do a lot of impact type training with my fixed blade knives so I agree with you guys who advise one to do the same with folders. I will check out all the resources you guys supplied. Ultimately I will just have to start picking them up. My main concern is not how to find a knife that feels good as I know what I like. My concern was primarily with the locking systems on folders. I have heard some horror stories of folders folding up on someone’s hand and... You get the picture. But that was a looooong time ago and it appears that things have come a long way.

Having a folder's lock fail on you is obviously... well, no need to go further. My hand seems to be shaped so I am able to 'white knuckle' some types of lock-back folders like Spyderco's Endura and Delica. A good liner lock will be difficult to get to fail -if- the lock engages well. Some production knives will fall into the not-engaging-well category. You should be able to eyeball that the liner engages over far enough to keep the knife locked open. Cam lock knives seem strong and able to hold up under pressure. Try visiting a knife store where they will let you hold various models. You may end up leaving with more than one new folder, but at least you'll have a chance to try out (hold) the knives and take a very close look at the lock mech.
