WARNING 🚨 Check Your Liner Lock Knives!

A little PSA/Warning to check the lock up on your liner lock knives. I've had this issue with a few Kizer knives and now with this Civivi Elementum. Although this seems to be a rare issue, it's still a dangerous issue if not noticed early enough (before putting the knife to hard use). Let the knife community knife if you also experienced this issue, and with what knives.

I purchased this knife through Knife Center, and although I noticed this liner lock issue soon after unboxing (and I have a live video of myself unboxing it), Knife Center still said it was too late since I had this new for over the 60 day return window. So be sure to check your liner lock knives (or any knife for that matter) shortly after receiving them incase there is an issue. Don't be like me and wait 6 months to finally unbox certain knives lol

Exceptions can always be made. In this case, because it has to do with safety, I think knife center should take it back. You have proof that you just opened it. I wonder if Blade HQ would have made an exception? 🤷‍♂️

I have this issue with my large Cold Steel Luzon which actually closed on me, luckily it wasn't too bad considering how freaking big the blade is lol

[TheRoadDawg]

You should be able to easily fix that, my friend. Just take it apart and bend the liner a bit…fixed.

Since Knife Center said no…if there is no resolution from Civivi are you going to try to fix it?

[petebuhrer]

I have that same issue with the exact same model—the dark brown Matrix micarta.

[PoetFisherman]

If Civivi doesn't make it right, that should be a fairly easy fix on a stone.

I've had a few early lockups but never bad enough that I could actually close the knife like that.

[dlighted]

On my Buck Kingsman its the exact opposite. It catches late, halfway off the blade. Is there a fix?

[cartergoodemote]

Mine is the opposite, it’s over too far and really hard to close it

[MMA_BEASTHUB]

My Dewalt folder' Liner perfectly comes to centre of the blade

[ajhoward]

Yeah, that's either a defect or a bad reassembly.

[olehheremii]

Had the same issue on a 15$ Herbertz knife and it just suddenly fixed itself

[jakefromohiostate]

That Elementum is HORRIBLE!! That’s surprising man, I’ve never had an issue with a Civivi! Hopefully a “one off” issue

[WestOzMT]

Thanks for the info on this type of knife .

[brianlash]

Folding knives easily have over 30 potential problems fixed blades will never have

[mistersmith]

I've almost lost fingers to liner Lock and Axis lock. NEVER again.

[enriquescott]

Send it back send it back that's scary

[christopherphillips]

Nope mine sucks too. Easy to break the lock, pretty unsafe knife. Can't return them, both going up for sale on eBay. I need a reliable and safe knife.

I did notice the lockup with the newer chinese knives. I have several Civivis and a Kizer Justice. To me, the lockup is too early. I love the lockup of those Real Steel and Ruike knives from 2017-2018. The liner of my Justice has only about half of its' width making contact with the blade tang.

[piperkennard]

Easy fix but that shouldn't be happening qc is off .

Excellent "public service announcement". Cheers!!
