Tempered glass is pre-stressed to resist deformation. Thus, the more focused the force is and the harder the material (relative to the hardness of...

Re: Watu lock stick (or lockstick)
I've found that a tiny amount of lube on the stop pin where the tab slides usually cures any sticking issues.

Re: Cruwear micarta Bushcraft/Proficient
I’m a big fan of how accessible the Bow River is for budding knife knuts. For me the primary advantage to a Claycomb design is the all-day-use ergonomics, so I’d be very excited to see how the market responds to accessing that at a lower price point.
