SKM spring question

Post by Jrarbogast »

I have noticed with my SKM knives the action, spring rather, seems a lot stronger and snapper than like my FB or other makers. Anyone else notice that or know why?

...as Thom stated. Seems no rhyme nor reason.

I agree it is the luck of the draw and same thing with safeties which often barely work or don't work at all and other times you get one that works well and has to be slid at least halfway down to fire the knife. Sadly, quality control is lacking with these knives.

Quality control has been lacking on these knives for quite a long time!

Having owned them since the 1980s, yes, I agree.
