Justin:
There is already a thread about this knife, please search before starting new threads. It is probably a good idea for new members not to start threads at all for a while.
Great design, but this is the first knife I have gotten from Lone Wolf with problems.
I had some chipping problems with the blade in cutting light plastic, with the designer's assitance, senior people from LW asked me to send it back. I will attach photos, if anyone is interested. My belief is that the edge was excessively hardened, Lone Wolf informed me that they would get with Crucible steel about the issue.
The Customer Service department took their time, about a month, if memory serves me, said that they could find no problems with it and and eventually offered to either resharpen the blade or to replace the knife. Nothing further was forthcoming about why the edge failed or if Crucible noted anything out of the ordinary.
I opted for the latter, and the replacement blade has been satisfactory in the light use I have put it to. Frankly, I worry about it failing as well and will not carry it for serious work given the lack of responsiveness to my concerns from Lone Wolf. To their credit, they did replace the knife, but denied any defects in the previous version.
I hope that they have resolved the issue and you guys have a better experience. If you have to contact Customer Service, based on my experience, be prepared for a multi-week wait.
This is to take nothing away from the design, which is a great large, auto-opening folder with excellent grip and utility.
