I have heard about Taylors knives locks failing , does anyone know how the lock fails exactly  on cheaper questionable quality knives.

here is the one I was talking about that is actually pretty decent, could do without the etchings on blade though

Looks familier. And it is still running.

S&W knives are popular among mall ninjas.

People bash S&W knives, but on every "show your EDC knife" thread there are people who carry and use them, and most of the time happy with it.

[Benner]

Not many though.  I could probably only name 2 people.

[Styerman]

Treat them as if they are slipjoints or friction folders , an you will be OK .

Not limited to this forum thou, they are much more common on non-tool/knife forums.

[Benner]

I would expect people to use them over on lesser forums.

I was quite tempted to buy this at one time. There's a guy who worked at Katrina said he used one to hack and pry all sorts of thing and it held up fine. But it was on half price then.

I wish i removed the clip before given it away as it could of been handy for a mod, although i dont think i had the right hex driver for it ,

Actually the one I have is pretty good. But ya  want to hear something interesting. S&W has them on thier website, but they dont carry them in the Pro Shop in Spriingfield Ma. Never asked why, but maybe I will in May. Going to a IDPA shoot there then.
