You would think they would heavily test that exact thing way before releasing the product.

Err... I do not understand :facepalm:

Does the lock fail causing the blade to close up?

Or does the blade retention system fail causing the bade to be "released"?

Looks like they used a standard frame lock but then covered it with that plastic shell placing a button on the shell that contacts/presses the lock for you. The problem I would guess is that the plastic is soft enough that with the right direction of force it compresses and twists just enough to release the lock.


But then I'm just guessing from photos.

That sounds about right Noa Isumi.

Yes, you can take the knife guards off and on all day. The design is supposed to lock the blade permanently to the Leap once installed. It would appear that the knifes are not so permanent after reading the recall, meaning you can remove them in certain circumstances once installed.

I am not going to try this with any of the ones I have, as I want the blades installed away from the Leap in their carriers for the collection.
