A flawed handle...
I dislike tip down carry, so I drilled/tapped holes for tip up carry on mine. I found that with tip up pocket carry the tip of the blade could catch my pants and my finger. There is enough space around the tip of the blade that when closed, your finger or many other things can get to it. This happened to my finger twice and my pants a few times. I also found the detent in closed position was somewhat weak and the blade a bit open in my pocket twice. I disassembled the knife and drilled/tapped a #3 screw in each interior side of the handle to add material close to the tip. While it was apart I bent the liner lock it some to strengthen the closed detent. If I had known the tip was exposed in the handle like this, I would not have purchased this knife. For over $300, I should not have to augment the design.
