I do know what you mean, Kevin, about things failing. I’ve had a $3300 custom otf fail and a $2600 otf fail. Neither were the names I mentioned before, but they are big-name knives you’d recognize in a second.
I’ve had a baby browning clone fail because of the striker indicator locking up, A Seecamp fail due to a trigger malfunction, and a couple of NAAArms fail to fire, weak pin strikes or inherent rimfire reliability issues.
It is frustrating.
