Frank B 2.0

Post by Erik131065 »

The last year I aquired a few new 11" Frank B's. Three in total. They all seem to have the same flaw; spontaniously firing by just touching the scale. Is there anyone out here who experienced the same with these? Or was it just bad luck three times over?

I've had ten of the 11" FB 2.0's (I buy them for parts), and although most had a variety of significant flaws, none of them fired by touching the scale.

Maybe a bad batch. Perhaps they didn't mill out the handle cavity enough. It sounds like the handle is pressing down on the rocker creating a hair-trigger.

Something like that yeah....I'll give 'm one more try. I stated that the knife must be in a proper state when I ordered it. Minor flaws always seems to com with Italian stiletto's and I can deal with that but spontaniously firing.....no way. Glad to hear that yours are fine. Thanks for the info.

I have handled three dozen. Never had a popper yet. Had one that wouldn't lock open but it was a easy fix.

I'm very happy to tell you that this one came with no issues at all. Centered, deep closing, good firing and good lock up.I specified that for ordering. Thanks for your opinions. Allthough I might not add to this forum every day. I look at it on a daily basis.
