You mean to hold the handle and shake open the blade If so, Axis (or ABLE) lock is among the easiest to do so.

Essentially yes... a downward wrist flick.
Is there a different terminology for that ?
Appreciate your help I'm looking forward to getting this knife !!

i would say they are pretty comparable. here is the benchmade triage vs the hogue triage, i would say the quality on both is pretty high. the benchmade is actually nicer because of the smoother g10 handles, but the hogue feels very nice to carry and handle also.
Where did you get the Hogue?? I have looked for one since I found this post and can't find it. That is aweso.e!

No it's not, trauma is a completely different knife with a gut hook/seat belt cutter at the butt end of the knife

Just got mine and I'm loving this knife, from the super smooth action (never even took it apart to lube) to the fantastic thumbstuds (great purchase) to the ergo's that fit my hand perfectly.
It is everything I hoped it would be and is giving my new Bugout with Rogue bladeworks scales a run for it's money at a much cheaper price point.

Question for the other deka owners here. Is the closing action drop shut smooth? Now kind of annoyed. Have bought 2 dekas in different color format, one silver blade and the other black. Silver blade model is drop shut smooth very easily, the black blade model is still very smooth but I have to flick the blade closed when depressing the thumb studs. Not a huge deal but I hate it when I buy two identical knives and the smoothness and closing or opening action isnt exactly the same on both

I am impressed by all the "likes" on this thread and just looked at Blade Hq to check out the specs.
If I am correct, all of the models have aluminum frames...which is a "feel" that I don't like.
sorry to be such an ice-cube...but aluminum is the ONLY frame material that I would reject.

Don, do you mean the liners are aluminum? Because as far as I know, it's a G10 over SS liners.

You might be thinking of the EX0 etc with the button lock.
All Deka's have G10 material for handles.

Sorry that I screwed up...must have googled the wrong knife.
Thanx for setting me straight...I'll take another look.
Don
I took ANOTHER look, at the right site this time.
Looked at four Deka models, all G10, 0.094" blade thickness, 20CV steel.
The G-mascus scales look nice... and nice hardness spec...
This kind of data looks to be a real slicer...
The edges are hand-honed...I'd like to know the thickness behind the edge if anyone has that data...

Dont have that data, but can tell u it is an incredible slicer. Own 4 hogue knives now and every edge is the sharpest I have had out of the box. Puts microtech and benchmade to shame
