The liner is locking fully with the blade tang, but what I meant was that it isn't "snapping" out all the way.
Alright, sounds good. I feel better now knowing that my "problems" are relatively normal! Thanks for helping me dismiss my hesitation.
I'm planning on taking a few pics later, so I'll stick some up of my Wave just so you can see. Apart from these niggles, how are you finding the ALX?
I'm reallying liking the cutting hook on the serrated knife, although not sure how I'm going to sharpen it.
edap617,The locks look similar on my Charge TTI, especially for the plain edge blade, the liner lock goes all the way to the frame/handle, which leaves no room for wear but it locks up solid so I don't think I'll worry about it unless it starts to get a little sloppy in time. Is that kind of your thought as well?

How can there be wearing if the tip of the lock and the back end tip of the knife will come to a point that they barely touch each other. Since there will be no more rubbing action, further wearing will cease.Eddie
