Now that the patent for Spyderco’s compression lock has expired and other brands are incorporating it into their designs, what should the generic industry term be for this lock design?

Knifecenter has the absolute best KZfaq channel. I trust you and DCA. I have tried getting into other websites that sell blades channels and I just.. not for me. Thanks for doing this. And I have bought a few knives from you guys based off these exact videos in case you need some metrics. I trust you all and you all love the blades and there’s no “show” or anything.

@mcsquirgle 15 күн бұрын

Well said. The New Knives and the KnifeAQ series have both sold me on several knives over the years, and my experience with KnifeCenter has always been excellent to the point that I rarely buy knives anywhere else anymore. I really think the KnifeCenter's youtube channel with DCA, Seth, and Thomas are the very best that KnifeTube has to offer and the people that watch seem to be quality people too. I always come away from these videos and the comment section with a smile.

Also Thomas behind the camera. It's easy for good presentational camerawork to go underappreciated because the whole point is to not be noticed. I seen a single knife presentation video recently on another channel. Zoomed way in on the knife to try and catch maximum detail, none of which came through because the camera was constantly focus hunting, which also made the distracting background even worse, and because the knife filled the frame, any movement made it break the frame and the camera had to jerk around to stay on the knife.

$250 is very reasonable. And the rest of the Water Series hovering ~$200 is a move in the right direction. They got the memo, to many great non-usa made options for them to charge $600 for a 3” knife. Playing the long game.. slowly recoup R&D costs rather than making the customers foot the bill in the first month of release is a more prudent approach for sure.

@JerryLoffelbein 15 күн бұрын

Maybe just call it “Compressive Lock” to keep it similar but different. Although these Vosteeds are more similar to the Smock’s version of the Compression Lock. Nice that the actuation is encapsulated in the handle, but they must have a finger choil to fit the hardware inside. Maybe “handle actuated compressive lock” to avoid using “button” and “liner” for searching. Not sure if we’ll find a one word or hyphenated name for it that everyone will agree on. Seeing as how it’s just another offshoot of a liner lock, like the Cold Steel Triad is an offshoot of the back lock.

@@davidgarrett5671 magnacut loses almost zero stainlessness at 63-64 HRC. there is literally no reason to run it that soft except for cheating out on the heat treat. the stainlessness of magnacut at 61 hrc is almost exactly the same as at 63/64 hrc, which is ‘essentially rust proof’. however what the HRC DOES change massiveness is edge retention. magnacut has a VERY substantial drop in edge retention once it gets below 63 hrc and it gets even worse going down from 62 to 60-61. stop making excuses for companies putting out subpar products.

@@acid6urns like others you overrate the heat treatment and think higher is always better. Even Dr. Thomas says it is overrated in comparison to grind and blade angle. Note that you said “almost” the principal aim of the Water platform is stainless. And how tough does it need to be. If I need to go up to 63 - 65 I’m going with a fixed blade and not fooling with any lock.

You nailed it with the locks Seth. I think that’s a pretty big reason Benchmade sells so many more knives than Spyderco. The Axis lock is ambidextrous and revolutionary while the compression lock is the most difficult of all the biased locks for lefties and doesn’t bring as much ease of use to the table.

I have a Corgi, the drop point with brass face plate and micarta handles. I like the look of it opened and closed. My biggest problem with it is the detent. It's too loose! Plus the knife carries tip up. I stabbed my thumb one time pretty bad just because i just reached with my thumb to grip the side of the handle that was inside the pocket. It seems the knife deployed by maybe slight pressure against my hip? Either way, I've been hesitant to carry it since. I also am hesitant to gift or sell it, because it's dangerous in that way. If it had a snappier detent i think it would make a great EDC.

To unlock the knife, you press a … a what? A button. It’s a button lock. The benchmade was a crossbar lock. Their lock is not axial. It isn’t an axis lock. Paul Poehlemann invented a true axial lock in the 70s - which is also a button lock. Best locking mechanism I have experienced on a knife, though some modern button locks are getting there. Knife collecting is messy. It’s fun. No need to sweat it. 😀
