Update: I mentioned in my video that I wasn't sure if the new Tactile Maverick model was having issues yet or not, turns out it already is...blade play, lock rock, lack of detent, scales flexing, free spinning thumb studs, etc

Mine is slicey tight and works like a champ.
Tactile becoming my fav American Knife maker.

Rockwall is the best gentleman's knife.
Maverick is another omega spring/axis lock knife, and I don't do gimmicky.

Yours is the only ones I've heard that were seemingly bad

Can’t wait for the Erebus short review coming

For the price of this new $199 that is really sad. I am always looking for US made knives because of the poor QC of Chinese made products. It is a shame, I hope this is no indication of the entire company and their QC.

Quality check and workforce work etics: The plague that is killing USAs industry. A well known problem for you here in Europe. I prefer Japanese or European maker over American. This is sad because USA used to be innovative and solid products.
