Paramillie MBC rated?

#1

Post by Shenmue728 »

I am new to the forums but really love the knives and my question is this:

IS the Paramilitaries Compression Lock MBC rated as the ATR's was?

Same with the ball bearing lock on the P'kal. if its MBC rated, does that mean the ball bearing lock on other knives have the same rating.

Thanks for the feedback!

I am not sure if it is or not... However it shares the same lock as the Yojimbo, Lil' Temperance, Gunting, and Spyderhawk.

So, I would think it is a "yes" if not, I would not have any worries about strength.

I'm pretty sure the P'kal is MBC rated, as it is a MBC knife. I think anything with a ball-lock would be straight.

Yes, the Para has a compression lock just as the Lil Temp which I believe is rated at about 200 pounds per inch :eek:
