WARNING 🚨 Check Your Liner Lock Knives!

[@rotorbob]

Exceptions can always be made. In this case, because it has to do with safety, I think knife center should take it back. You have proof that you just opened it. I wonder if Blade HQ would have made an exception? 🤷‍♂️

[@Bfr3shBrian]

I have this issue with my large Cold Steel Luzon which actually closed on me, luckily it wasn't too bad considering how freaking big the blade is lol

[@hector_dom]

Excellent "public service announcement". Cheers!!

[@jakefromohiostate]

DUUUUUDE!! That Elementum is HORRIBLE!! That’s surprising man, I’ve never had an issue with a Civivi! Hopefully a “one off” issue

[@mistersmith3986]

I've almost lost fingers to liner Lock and Axis lock. NEVER again.

[@jakefromohiostate]

Since Knife Center said no…if there is no resolution from Civivi are you going to try to fix it?

[@BuNNDoGG]

Same with frame Locks. Thanks.

[@petebuhrer5064]

I have that same issue with the exact same model-the dark brown Matrix micarta.

[@ajhoward8888]

Yeah, that's either a defect or a bad reassembly.

[@brianlash154]

Folding knives easily have over 30 potential problems fixed blades will never have

[@mistersmith3986]

You miss wrote 100 potential problems, but we know what you meant.

[@PoetFisherman]

If Civivi doesn't make it right, that should be a fairly easy fix on a stone. I've had a few early lockups but never bad enough that I could actually close the knife like that.

[@mazdaxc90]

How could I fix it?

[@PoetFisherman]

For early lockup, try bending the lock bar in slightly. If that doesn't work you could grind off a tiiiiiiny ( and I mean tiiiiiiiiiiiiny ) amount of the lock bar patch that interfaces with the tang of the blade.

[@mazdaxc90]

@@PoetFisherman I will try this, tanks for the quick response too!

[@PoetFisherman]

@CentroidYT keep in mind this will likely kill your warranty. If you're going to do it though, definitely try bending it first

[@mazdaxc90]

@@PoetFisherman Ok your right, ill see what i can do first

[@WestOzMT]

Thanks for the info on this type of knife .

[@dlighted8861]

On my Buck Kingsman its the exact opposite. It catches late,halfway off the blade. Is there a fix?

[@MMA_BEASTHUB]

My Dewalt folder' Liner perfectly comes to centre of the blade

[@olehheremii5639]

Had the same issue on a 15$ Herbertz knife and it just suddenly fixed itself

[@cartergoodemote9109]

Mine is the opposite, it’s over too far and really hard to close it

[@mazdaxc90]

Much better than the other way around

[@bittabrutha31]

Try scratching a lead pencil on the blade where the lock bar connects

[@christopherphillips2708]

Nope mine sucks too. Easy to break the lock, pretty unsafe knife. Can't return them, both going up for sale on eBay. I need a reliable and safe knife.

[@christopherphillips2708]

Both elementum and the odium both have the same issue. A moderate hit on the spine and lock on both knives give way. I had it happen accidentally when dropping the open knife.

[@enriquescott2983]

Send it back send it back that's scary

[@sysmith5436]

Get the sandpaper out

[@piperkennard1039]

Easy fix but that shouldn't be happening qc is off .

[@mazdaxc90]

How would it be fixed i have a similar problem not as bad but want to know

[@fredp1983]

@@mazdaxc90 Im sure you could just pull it apart and stick something in between the gap of the liner overnight to stretch it out... or just bend it... But you shouldnt have to... its unacceptable from such a big company...
