In the General Discussion Forum in the thread on lockback failures, someone mentioned that several Police models had their lockback mechanisms fail. He said one was a new piece.
If the other failures weren't due to heavy use over a long period, does this imply that a larger lockback might be more prone to failure than a smaller lockback?
I'm thinking if this is the case, it could be due to the heavier blade and more pressure at the pivot area. Is it so, or were these flukes, or are all lockbacks prone to these problems at some point, even Spydies?
BTW, I love my Spydies, but would like to know.
