Well, that's really not a LINER problem. That's a steel problem. Put titanium liners into a comp lock knife and that problem goes away, and it uses a lot less titanium and simpler machining that making a frame lock. Plus it leaves you with a liner for your thumb.ugaarguy wrote: ↑Wed Aug 21, 2019 12:54 pmDoesn't get me anything? Speak for yourself. It gets me a liner-less knife. Every steel linered Spyderco I've owned has rusted on the liners. Can't pinch to disengage? Just put your thumb on the scale below the lock bar cutout. It works.dj moonbat wrote: ↑Tue Aug 20, 2019 1:16 pmUnlike the switch from liner to frame lock, where you (in theory) get a lock that works harder when you grip harder, the switch to a frame comp lock doesn't get you anything except more difficult machining. In fact, you may just be making the lock worse, because you can't pinch the lock with your index finger to disengage, since there's no liner on the other side for your thumb to push on.
Hard pass.
It's not like a comp frame lock won't work; they've already proven that it does. But unlike going from a liner to a frame lock, it doesn't actually make the lock work better.
