I saw the video too, and I'm guessing it was a lemon. Spyderco tests every lock design in-house, and the Manix 2 is MBC-rated, which IIRC means over 250 inch-lbs at the lock per inch of blade, so for the manix 2 you're looking at about 700+ pounds of pressure at the lock. I'm pretty sure that will do everything you need it too. Remember though, a lock is a safety device. Just like a seat belt. Don't try and abuse it, and it'll never fail on you.
