This knife was SO hard to deploy

I recently learned that Anthony at @Heretic_Knives has the world’s strognest thumb. He manufactured a giant OTF knife at Blade Show 2023. I’m using every ounce of strength to fire it and he “single-hand fires” it with ease 😂 trust me, there were multiple people trying to fire this thing and everybody had to use two hands aside from him.

[@dotcassilles1488]

Not only females, males also have no clue about knife safety. I have been to more first aid incidents where guys were messing around with a knife or blade and managed to slice/dice themselves or others, than incidents like that involving females. In my first aid experience of treating these injuries they are usually caused by ignorance or inexperience with handling blades in general or with the specific tool, showing off, tiredness, alcohol induced clumsiness (slow reactions) or violence.

[@dotcassilles1488]

Forgot to say that I'm in rural south eastern Australia. An area where most people work in agriculture or industry. Most people carry or at least have quick access to a pocketknife or safety blade/ utility knife. Blessings, Dot

I went to a knife store recently, and tried out quite a few OTF models. I was excited to see some budget knives that looked really great. But upon trying them out, the very expensive models were much smoother, and didn't require as much pressure on the button. I'd love to buy one, but I just can't justify spending that much money on something that could easily get lost.

The the force is just enough to get the knife out let alone impale you. The impact from deployment is barley enough to break skin. It has to deploy fully before it can lock in place other wise it just becomes loose till you realign it.

you would literally need to pull that trigger towards you for the blade to point in your direction, if you wouldn't notice it right then and there that you use it backwards, you deserve it.
