Bill, Check out "Bud K" a well

Bud K has some good stuff, as does Frost Cutlery. Although they need to get rid of the 3:00 AM Infomercial guy. He's a real Bubba who looks like a stalker for the girl guests who leave the Jerry Springer Studio.

 I've got a ton of Frost knives that hold an edge better than many of my higher priced knives. As always, it's important to have a good set of "throwers" so the woman can keep them busy while you're reloading!    Bill T.

Highest quality ever made, cheapest Chinese knock off on the market, custom made, or off the rack, the most important thing is inspect, clean and maintain!

We have talked and typed for years about lint in guns and magazines - why wouldn't a carry knife be any different?  I use my knife daily, and look at it at least once a day.  Weakly I clean it of lint, dirt and other pocket crud.  I will even run it through the parts washer or spray with brake cleaner and then re-oil.

Your knife is nothing more than a self defense that doesn't go bang, so why shouldn't we treat it the same as the one that goes bang?

You posted just as fast as I thought it.  Totally agree on this one.

Agreed and I don't know why. Generally after use on stcky stuff (like tape, fish, etc.) it gets rinsed and wiped in VERY hot water. After drying, it gets a spray of Rem Oil and a wipe. There was no lint, that was my first thought, and I gave it a shot with compressed air keyboard cleaner. No dice. It just won't engage. We'll see what the factory says. I agree 100% though. The knife is as much an SD tool as the gun. Same for the light, and for that matter the cell phone. Make sure they all work all the time.
