I was expecting a big knife, and this is a big knife.
Now it's understood that Sal has the Midas touch at making things that have no right being ergonomic into melt-in-your-hand symphonies of tool pop stardom, but how pray tell could something as long as a tibia bone be made comfortable. Thats gotta be impossible, I thought.
I was wrong. What was uncomfortable was twisting my wrist to get the entirety of the knife in this shot.
The Powerlock has one of the most satisfying lock up sounds of all my knives, it's roughly a cross between the sound of the passenger door of a Porsche 911 closing as your partner drops you off at the Oscars and Roger Federer serving a tennis ball at 230 mph.
This knife is so capable it can actually function WITHOUT A PIVOT SCREW. But I'm hoping it doesn't have to. Having contacted W&R they suggested I send the knife in to see if they could find a screw that fit, as its discontinuation means they don't have a screw on hand specifically for this model. I'm not comfortable sending it in from over the border in the Canadian tundra, and was hoping somebody might know the thread size etc, and/or know of a source that could supply the correct screw.
I can't wait to put this knife through its paces, preferably in a safe and secure way.
