Has anyone ever tried a magnet as a blade detent in a folder? I've been seeing rare earth magnets that are cylindrical in shape that you could insert like a stop pin. I'm sure it would hold the blade securely, in fact you might have to keep it from touching in order to achieve a smooth release. But it would get rid of that pesky two stage bump of the ball going off the edge of the blade as it rotates in and out. Just a thought, don't really know how well it would work.
