And I smiled when I saw this article. Within hours of getting my Tridents, I broke out the super glue and put the kibosh on that safety. The assist mechanism alone seems to keep the blade closed just as reliably as, for example, Kershaw’s SpeedSafe.

It’s a simple cost-benefit analysis. The safety looses.

And I suspect the safety’s only on there to make that cord-cutting notch more “user-friendly.” If the knife is locked closed, it hardly matters how you’re holding it when you go to slice some paracord or a seatbelt or something. But even with the safety off, all you have to do is hold (support) the blade’s spine while your cutting. Duh.

Not that you don’t realize this. Just rambling. Pardon.

Enjoying the site! I’ll keep nosing around….
