Linerlock failure: Is this supposed to happen??

Ok, so I was sitting by my computer and I decided to see just how strong the linerlock was on my new Centofante PE. I took the knife, (without the SecureLock) and rapped the spine of the blade smartly on the palm of my left hand. And that's when it happened: The linerlock failed! It just popped past the liner and almost closed on my right fingers. Now, after trying the "spine test" I was just curious: IS this supposed to happen?? I hope I don't have to send in my new knife to be re-designed or something.....
Thanks! -Spydernut

That definitely should not happen. Typically, when a linerlock fails, it fails in such a way that the liner is in the way of the blade. This sounds like something worth calling Spyderco about.
Keepin' it real...real sharp, that is.

Definitely call warrantee and repair.

I had a problem with the liner lock on my Lum titanium tanto folder. When it was new, if I opened the blade very slowly, the liner lock would not fully engage. I could close the blade eventhough the blade was fully open. I called the Spyderco factory and they told me to flick the blade open very hard a few times. It took care of the problem.
