Have you ever had a liner lock open on you during carry?

[Shifty]

Anyone here ever had a liner lock (not frame lock) open when it was either loose in your pocket or clipped?

In addition to the poll.... did you end u cutting yourself/your pocket/pants as a result?

Please note that the poll allows multiple responses in case it has happened you you with more than one knife.

Thanks

Never but I've seen the video when nutnfancy's Tenacious opened up in the bag in his truck. My tenacious has never opened up without being told to :)

I've never had a knife open up without me wanting it to-liner lock or otherwise, clipped or not clipped. I carry the Sage 1 loose in my pocket all the time no problem so far.

I had a Emerson CQC-7 with the wave feature that would open sometimes from my keychain. I cut my hands so many times with that knife it's incredible.

Never happened to me, but in my opinion #1 and #2 in your poll are the same thing :)

Carried the Military at work one day and my keys are on a belt clip and the key
got stuck inside the Spydie hole and when I went to pull my keys off my belt it brought the knife blade up and sliced a nice slit in my pant pocket near the fly. This had happened a couple of times previous but did no damage had occurred until this. I just don't carry the Military to work anymore.

i think i get what he means. :)
i think he meant a cheapo with a liner lock that you might exspect it to happen and a non spydie but still a top quality knife. like a benchmade with a liner lock that is an exspensive quality knife that you wouldnt exspect it to happen as you dropped a fortune on it. :)

The only liner lock I've carried for a significant amount of time was a first-generation Benchmade mini-AFCK (812S). I carried it basically every day from October 1997 to May 2005, so about 7.5 years total. Never had it open (or close) accidentally.

After I retired the mini-AFCK in 2005, my EDC knives have mostly been BM AXIS locks or Spyderco lock-backs (with a few Spyderco ball and compression lock knives), so I haven't carried a liner-lock since then. None of them have ever opened (or closed) accidentally either.

none of my knives have ever opened while being carried

The closest thing I had was a Kershaw OD-1 that had almost no blade retention but it was a warranty item that got fixed for free. Any hard knock on the knife would bump the blade out. I never carried it in that condition.

[JNewell]

Never. I've had a couple, not Spyderco knives, open when dropped.

[addylo]

I had a Tenacious open both in my pocket and when dropped. No cuts either time.

[The Deacon]

No, but that may be at least partly due to the only one I ever carry being carried in the bottom of my back pocket, with the blade on top.

Had an FRN Cricket I was using as a money clip open in my pocket as I was hurrying through O'Hare airport (pre-9/11). Was lucky I didn't get cut.

[anti-torsion]

Only thing to open in my pocket was a Pkal.

A small Kershaw chive came open in my pocket once. The little plastic lock broke off and the assist lever popped the knife open. Stabbed me leg a little.

You've got it smoothone25! lol I should have added "high quality knife" into the wording for option number 2 :o
