A place to discuss the collection of pocket knives by makers large or small, from the common to the custom. The pocket knife is a useful tool that has been with us for hundreds of years and it can be found in innumerable variations. If it can fold, fit in a pocket, and has a blade you can chat about it here.

You may recall from my post a couple of days ago about the surprisingly competent (and very cheap) Jin Jun Lang JL-13A that one of its points of incompetence was a design that allows the latch to strike the blade, like so:

Well, sure I put a stop to that.

This half-gram piece of plastic slots right into the handle like so:

And means the latch will only swing in a 180 degree arc such that it stops just short of the tip of the blade.

It works the other way, too.
