If a days worth of flicking causes this I'd say something is off...just wondering if this is normal lock break in or if something is softer than it should beWell, after watching your video on the other thread, it is not surprising that you have experienced this wear!
Oh wow. You bought one of those huh? How do you like it? Steel?Is anyone else seeing wear like this?

I did, lol...it's a different/unique mechanism so I had toOh wow. You bought one of those huh? How do you like it? Steel?
Should not he deforming like that.
I didn't think so either...I'm on nightshifts this week so calling is difficult, if they don't respond to the thread by Friday I'll probably give them a call.Yea.....that's not normal. Even under heavy use the knife isn't that old. It should not be deforming like this already. That warrants a call to cold steel in my opinion....... Keep us posted.
It’s weird that both surfaces have wear.
Nope, rock solid with no play. All the wear/deformation looks to be from the pin dropping into the notch.It looks like the blade could be rocking back and forth while locked.

It's hard to tell, because you can't see the notch when open but judging from the deformation I would say no...it seats about 3/32 from the bottom of the notch. I believe the notch tapers to allow it to wear in. The lock bar seems to be about the right height, as it's almost flush with the spine (just a tad high).
That's correct, but only on the "AD-15" side of the blade. It almost seems like either the pin or the notch has a taper now that I think about it...I think there's a set of calipers somewhere her at work but if not I'll measure when I get home in the morning.To make sure I'm looking at this correctly; both edges of the cut out in the blade are deformed as well as matching sides of the lock pin?
That was almost too easy...
"Cold Steel" end
"AD-15" end
You can also see in the earlier pics that the pin is only riding on the "AD-15" edge of the tang circumference...mystery solved I guess. Hopefully someone from Cold Steel will chime in...
