Or...tighten the pivot a bit. The whole notion of "Drop shutting" is silly (and offtopic....)
So, you are going to ask other people to post videos of their knives not failing but you yourself will not test the problem in a more realistic way with your hand actually gripping the knife? Sorry, this isn't valid.Could you please demonstrate it on video, because not being funny but lots of people tell me this in text format yet everybody that does it on video has the same failure, and that is the point of why it's dangerous, because the blade will come down on your fingers, cutting your hand. I'm holding it like this to avoid getting cut.
You wouldn't want to hold the knife with your hand around it, because the impact will force your hand further down the blade, giving the blade enough room to close on your fingers, and if your knives are as sharp as mine you will get a very nasty cut.
Do that full grip pommel test at your own risk, I don't advise holding it in your hand to do the test, because it's dangerous.
Here is another video of somebody doing it and the axis lock failing.
Pommel strikes - the new spine whack
Don't forget framelocks and linerlocks failing when you grip the handle tightly and twist your grip just right.Next up, we will find out the Triad lock fails due to pocket lint.

Don't forget framelocks and linerlocks failing when you grip the handle tightly and twist your grip just right.
The take away is simply, that none of these locks are fail proof and when you are going to do something other than cutting with the edge, you should put the folder away and go with a fixed blade.

I do have to confess I didn't watch any of his videos, but I figured that was what he was aiming for.Per his statements here, he's a knife fighter. Per his Youtube channel he's:
Combining all known sword based historical fighting systems from across the globe, HEMA, Kenjutsu, Chinese Swordsmanship and much more.
Sword is not a knife. He ain't no cop. He's trolling for hits, this video has about 3x more than his usual youtube video.
I'd hate to have to slap the snot out of my son if I found him doing something stupid like this. I'm glad my kids aren't autistic or mentally challenged, whatever the politically correct term is now...but it makes for entertaining YouTube when idiots like this one injury themselves.
Side note, can't believe I found myself agreeing with Roy, crazy 2020.
Many such folks on the spectrum may be described as brilliant. The marry have babies , voila.I know a PhD and an MD who have autism.
Here's an even crazier thought, in a self defense situation where the blade has already been deployed, and the situation has advanced to grappling distance in a struggle, you can't causually close your knife while being assaulted.
How about that for crazy.
Well who even uses the pommel in a close quarters knife fight, with the blade open? How does that play out? “Well I was going to stab this guy but I found out at last second that he’s really my long lost brother and he’s in a drug induced psychotic rage so I don’t want to stab him, just bop him on the noggin with my pommel and take him home to sleep it off”.If I ever get to the point that I am doing pommel strikes on a barstool I really hope someone takes the knife away from me and drives me home.
