Hi All,

Ausjulius' comment made me suspicious, so I examined the six Thiers knives with a slip joint lock that I have in my collection (Laguiole, Poyet-Sivet, Le Thiers-R David, & 3 folding "Vendetta" knives). In EVERY case, the joint on the back of the blade has a hook that fits into a corresponding notch on the back spring thus making for the stiffest slip joint possible. LEO's knife doesn't appear to have this feature.

Sincerely,
RobT
