Holt knives are also known for failing the spine whack test very easily. After watching this video I tested my Holt Specter and indeed it failed the spine whack, even when just hitting the spine on my knee. Someone at Blade Show went to the Holt booth after buying a Specter having this issue, but was told "That's normal for us.". And the knives with this issue which he returned were re-sold the same day to other customers. So apparently some companies don't care about their knives failing this test easily.

I did this the other day with all 22 of my ZT’s, and 4 of them ended up failing. As did an MSI and two XM-18’s. And it doesn’t bother me at all. I really think it’s a non issue. There is no scenario I can imagine where if you’re pushing down on the edge and cutting, applying upward pressure to the blade, that the back of the spine is going to be simultaneously struck harder with more downward pressure and close on your hand, especially if you’re holding the lockbar. I don’t know why this has taken on so much traction, with a guy online the other day calling the MSI “crap” because the spine whack closed it. To me, it’s like complaining that if you flip a car over onto its roof that the passenger compartment might get mashed. Ok, sure, but what’s your point? I don’t even bother testing them this way anymore, but thanks for doing it for us! 👍

@@jason11286 "but its muh lock strength," they say. If you want to bang on your knives like a neanderthal, be my guest. I get the idea behind it, but it just seems dumb since you are NOT supposed to use a knife like that. Impacts are always possible while using a knife and it is up to you to use a cutting tool carefully and responsibly. I will NEVER put myself in a situation where I would cut myself or create an impact. Accidents happen of course, but I am very mindful while using a knife. I don't want an accident so the likelihood of one happening is very, very low. However still possible, but very low. So low that I do not need every knife to have triad levels of lock up just to cut something. People seem to forget that knives need to be treated like loaded guns. Cut away from yourself (barrel pointed down and away from others), don't put downward pressure on the spine (don't look down the barrel), and keep your fingers out of the cutting path (finger off trigger and safety on). Not sure if that analogy works. My brain is weird. I don't want a lock to fail so do not get me wrong. Passing a brute force test is cool I suppose, but in my opinion it feels pointless. Knives don't cut by hitting repeatedly with the dull spine of the blade. Eh, I don't know.🤷♂

A zip tie closed tight you use the knife to cut but this zip tie is heavy duty so it doesnt cut as you remove the blade for the incision area the spine hits the upper part of the ziptie and thats cause the knife to fail. Happened on a sog keyknife lockback.

@@brunorojas3992 I can’t picture it, sorry. Not doubting your version, but can’t see the back of the blade hitting the upper part of anything. But I slip the blade tip up under zip ties regardless and just lift up popping them off, so, again, all stress is reinforcing the lock anyway.

But that's over 2 years old with a ti liner and im at 100% lock up. There's no more to break in. Its just wearing away now. But it stayed solid for a long time. TRM already said theyd replace the liner. But Jerad I too was curious about Medford especially your slim midi. A few times you've expressed concern cuz the frame lock is so thin.
@toddcarr. 6 ай бұрын
All it takes is to have a knife fail on you once to make you test every knife you have. Happened to me once and it got me bad enough that it changed my view on what a locking knife is supposed to be. It happened during a back strike when i pulled the knife out of a cut quickly and struck the spine of the knife. A touch of sanding with a diamond plate to the lock bar face was enough to correct the problem (only a tiny amount was needed). Afterwards i checked every knife i own to ensure a solid lock up. No reason whatsoever that a knife made today should fail this simple test. Its either a design problem or a manufacturing problem 100% especially after a proper break in period. Thanks for the great vid Jerad and keep making sharp things fun and enjoyable.

@OGBladeReviews 5 ай бұрын
I totally like your approach, Jarad. It's true that with everything in the universe based on vibrations this is a factor that will enter into any moving mechanical pieces and parts. Cold Steel tests used to put up to 600 lb on the back of a triad lock, but as you say constant pressure differs from a momentary shocking force. In real world use I have yet to see a spine wack factor in to folder use, at least in my daily usage. I'm also noticing that my MSI lock is seating further forward now than 5 months ago, so your wear-in concept may be quite valid. I would also mention that the types of metal used in mating surfaces may also factor in, which is what causes a galling on surfaces like titanium against steel. Final comment: who was doing spine whack testing 20 years ago or 10 years ago or even 5 years ago??? I think it's been thrown out there recently simply to get our attention and clicks, and hardly factors into real world usage, unless the user is using a folder when he should be using a fixed blade. If I'm wrong I'll certainly let you know... 😊

@BB-tv3bw 6 ай бұрын
I'm surprised more knives don't fail this test. By whacking the spine, you're turning the knife into a Newton's Cradle and any lock that lacks enough inherent friction in it's design and lockup to resist the transfer of kinetic energy will want to thrust the lock mechanism back the way it came. "Failing" this test doesn't in itself make a knife worry me anymore than a handle failing a cut test because it's simply not how they are designed to operate. However, button locks in general just don't have enough contact in their mechanisms to interest me. All that said, what would really interest me is whether the same whacking test done on the SHARPENED edge would create enough dwell time of the lock mechanism loosening to fold the blade shut after you lift it off the struck surface immediately(or pass through immediately as in chopping a branch in one stroke). A chopping test if you will, more in line with actual use cases. Guessing you would find the same knives would fail. Chop with fixies only is my 2 cents, regardless of which edge you choose.
@gologulug1295 6 ай бұрын
Exactly! Newton's Cradle is a good analogy :) Whacking like this creates a shock on the materials, resulting in resonance, making the locking surfaces hop on each other. So the parts can move out of their ideal locking position. On the frame locks, the hand would tighten the lock-position (as Jared already mentioned). On all knife-types the resonance might be dampened significantly just by holding the knife naturally. On button locks, exactly this test is not only ratttling the buttons free but also the swinging may prevent the spring to do it's repositioning work (kinda special scenario imho). All in all, It would make more sense to redo the tests on the failing knives with a regular grip (using a secure glove) and whack the blades with wood, not vice versa! BE FAIR!!!
@BB-tv3bw 6 ай бұрын
Yeah, that would be interesting! Damping would have a positive effect on many designs. Guys just need to be careful. Jared is brave doing this without kevlar gloves or something even with his careful grip. CBR's mishap with the MSI, if you caught that, still makes me wince!@@gologulug1295

0:50 Friction, as we define it, is not a function of time. I think what you are describing is a different phenomenon or a combination of phenomena related to bonds. I don't think those are at play here however. I believe the reason for the lock failing has more to do with the contact between the locking parts being disrupted because of the sudden jolt due to the spine being whacked. At that point the friction changing from static to kinetic might also play a part.
@CuttingBoardRx 6 ай бұрын
Since you getting all technical, what Jared calls friction is actually friction. I called it a static lockup in one of my vids, but explaining the Young’s modulus of elasticity, More’s machine taper, and bearing pressures due to contact deformation is not only difficult, it would also be boring to 99% of knife users.What you called a jolt and Jared called time to form friction are basically substitutes for the term Impulse. What’s important is that finally one of the biggest knife channels is holding the industry to task and he’s going to get them to listen way before I could with my 4K subs…

@@CuttingBoardRx Would it be fair to say that the spine tap vibration (micro-separations at the lock contact surfaces) plus less than optimal contact (angle, area, machine finish, etc) at the point of lock up is the root cause? Can you simplify your analysis to a layman's understanding? And thanks for chiming in. I love the informative cross-talk in this community.

This seriously tells the masses of the winning personalities of knife people, all sitting here watching a straight 20+ minutes of someone banging knives off a friggin 1x2 piece of wood, bitting their nails, waiting for something exciting to happen on New Years Eve 😳🤔🥺….I totattly need a girlfriend & am no going to cry myself to sleep in the fetal position.

By the way, at 11:18, the Sencut Sentinel Strike? Please let me know the real name of that model, because the Sentinel Strike is a new CIVIVI model, and I don’t think Sencut makes one of the same name. Cool looking knife! P.S. Just found it on their site, the “Glidestrike!” Sencut is really stepping it up lately. 👏

Great video Jared! I was a little surprised you didn't try a Spyderco w/ a ball bearing lock and a compression lock, or maybe even a liner lock? I think you did a great job anyway, I was just thinking how popular and common spyderco's are that it might be nice to see also.

He knows the compression lock , will not fail from spine wack, lock geometry wont allow it

Anyone else out there just not trust button locks? There is just so little material contacting the blade tang and it's rounded off. They may be great for most people but I choose knives I can completely trust in any situation. Button locks, while being easy and ergonomic, just don't inspire confidence in my opinion.

Hearing this more and more about the Ram Lock knives and I have been wanting one so bad, I am thinking Microtech came out with a Knife and lock of the year and production QC fell through the cracks. I am sure they would fix a knife for free but maybe I will waiting for this to be fixed in production. Microtech and this knife are too good for this to be so common for very long. I think they rushed it into production in 23 and it should have been 2024
