So given all this is the improvement overkill? Extreme?.when do we stop designing extreme use knives, as in. The MSC SnG is finished out with a titanium pocket clip, black over travel stop and oversize black Torx hardware.I felt that I should write a post explaining the new feature on Striders framelocks, the Lockbar Stabilizer.Of course as all of you have found out it is obviously a overtravel stop.in other words it prevents the accidental overtravel of the lockbar during closing of the knife.some of you have stated that sometimes repeated closings sometimes weakens the lockbar and thus the lockup is not as tight,well, I can visualize that,but actually the problem I wanted to correct concerning overtravel is the complete overspringing of the lockbar thereby rendering the knife useless.can't be done some say?.a little story of how I came up with it.I am firefighter as a lot of you know.while working a accident scene I was using one of my Firetac's to cut the upholstery material around a seat post prior to using the jaws to cut the post.being that it was a good wreck, and adrenalin was running high,and the fact that we wear heavy gloves when working a MVA, I pushed the lockbar way too hard thereby springing it,and of course the blade could no longer lock, not a good thing to happen, at the wrong time! I knew then I needed to do something about it.The other issue I wanted to address was the lockbar springing towards the back of the knife when gripping it.this is what is not so obvious in an improvement.the reason is that sometimes the movement in the lockbar is not really noticeable when using the knife under normal conditions.but when you use the knife really hard, and really grip it you WILL move the lockbar.this is because to make a framelock or linerlock for that matter you have to cut the long slot in the frame or liner to make the lockbar, it does not matter what size slot you cut you will still have material missing there.simple physics, suggests that you have a lever and it will move toward the back of the, what does this mean.1, whenever you have movement in a mechanism it is a chance for that mechanism to fail.2, extra movement in the lock to blade joint will wear the lockface quicker.3, when the blade is locked up on a framelock with the lockbar stabilizer there will be absolutely no movement in the lock. The reverse side is a titanium frame lock that delivers rock solid lock up but this custom version comes with a 'Doomsday' textured and multi-color anodized finish that complements the blade finish along with a custom, multi-colored custom graphic on both the frame and clip. The scale is made from black anodized aluminum with a textured finish for added traction. The Handle: The front of the handle looks like your standard, Flat or "Lego" scale with integral backspacer for added strength.
The blade opens smooth on phosphor bronze washers via the oval blade hole.
