With some effort, I have found the grip that loosens (but does not release) the Siren’s lock, thus giving the blade some vertical play.
It might also play a role how far back or forward on the handle the lockbar sits exactly relative to the hand position on a certain handle.
Added to my post above:
If you look closely at Siren resp. Endura and imagine where the hand will actually sist on the handle (think of the Sirens wide front guard):
On the Siren a more front part of the hand will be situated on the lockbar than it is the case on the Endura.
No idea if that influences how easy the lockbar can be disengaged accidently, but it could be that òne applies more pressure with a more front part of the hand than with a more rear part when gripping a knife- ?
You may be right, Gernot.
But the acid test is this: find a natural hammer grip on the Siren where the partial release occurs, then position your hand on the Endura in exactly the same grip and same relation to the lock. I’ve done that and cannot induce a partial release of the Endura’s lock bar because of the Boye dent.
But I can induce a partial release on the Endura if I grip it as I would never do in practice (because uncomfortable). I guess the Boye dent assumes the user will not try to go beyond its design parameters.
