...the weakest (furthest from pivot) point of any slippie is the relevant safety measure here.
I've never seen any knife with a tough of a pull as GEC! : Sent from my Ash forum mobile

Actually they are a bit worst than the Northfield; I damaged my, manly, nails on them...
They are a bitch to open. I had to handle half a dozen Scouts at SMKW before I found one that I could open without a knife pick. @_@

How the heck are 9 year olds supposed to open them?
By far the worst I've ever experience is a BAK (British Army Knife). The can opener on those takes so much effort, I don't think it would be much harder to try and open the can with your teeth

I have a Sheffield-made, civilian, non-marlin-spike version and both blades are quite easy to open, though not floppy or lazy in the slightest.
