Hi sal,
thanks for your reply and feedback. Sorry for my late reply, I was "out of order".
I already thought that the weak slip joint will be a KO criteria and I understand that you (and Spyderco) don't want to sell a part which will be a safety risk.
The part is not a perfect solution for the "carry a locking knife problem" but for me is really great.
I am able to carry my favorite knife within Germany without the fear to do something illegal. But you are right, a stronger slip joint would be nice.
Maybe someday my dream will come true and Spyderco will make a Para3 SlipJoint version. Exactly like the Para3, but just a Slipjoint instead of the compression lock.
I ( and a lot of other people) would be very very happy about it
