I think that strong detent means that Lionsteel doesn't make framelock knives for weak imho.
As Gianni wrote, there is plenty of knives. If somebody wants one piece handle framelock without clip he or she can buy Estrella or Lochsa.
If somebody wants weak framelock he can buys Kershaw Tilt, if somebody wants weaker detent, there is plenty of knives with weak or no detent at all.
If I compare TiSpine to Kershaw knives, e.g. Tilt, which has absurdly (paper) thin and week framelock then TiSpine is in very different league and I like it and appreciate it. There is place for all kind of knives. Maybe somebody likes weak framelock on Tilt. I like strong framelock that need some power to open it. Same type of one as on SR-1 or AG Russel Italian Made Tactical.
It needs some time to learn how to open the TiSpine with one hand. Especially more time if you are used to flipper or thumb stud, or different (circle) hole. It took me one day to get use to opening it and I think the detent is just right, it opens smooth and fast (no flick or wrist movement needed for opening this type of knife).
Personally I would like see a few minor changes on this knife: Framelock cut out on inner side of the scales (= inside the handle). Now it's outside and if the framelock cut out would be inside it would look much better and will be more functional (e.g. no snagging on clothes between framelock cut out hole and clip). Precise phospor bronze washers (or ball bearings), ceramic detend ball, shorter Ti Clip , hardened glass braker tip of the screw that hold's the clip and damascus blade and maybe a little thicker profile of the bending part of the framelock (in cut out) = stronger framelock.
