I would purchase this knife in a heartbeat if it had a frame lock insert.

Guest2I probably should have posted as a reply earlier, rather than just generally...
As I mentioned in the other post, I purchased mine in the previous drop. That drop also had the older version photos.
I am super-pleased with this knife. I really like the aesthetics, texture, colour, materials, fit and finish. A really tiny problem I had with it had to do with the feature you thought was missing - the frame lock insert. While it works and is setup excellently, my thumbnail could catch the square (non-retention/locking) edge of it during release if my nail was a little long. As I had it apart to round off that edge a little, I thought I would share some better views of the lock insert & stop bar design.

M--kThanks. I thought both functions might be integrated (in one steel piece). Seems to be popular to have the lock bar face insert and overtravel arrestor as a single part. Simple. Useful.

AxeguyCool. That's a good-looking knife. It doesn't look 10 years old or at all dated the way some of my older folders do.
I noticed after recently getting mine, that the Kizer AlterEgo can also potentially control the movement of the frame lock in an additional dimension. - laterally. (up/down in the pic) They cut the lock bar into its own pocket up at the end. I am sure its pretty tough to significantly move the lock bar in that direction without really trying to, but I like the detail nonetheless.

M--kHey, that is pretty slick! I like the looks but probably only heavy texters like my teenagers have the thumbs to budge the lockbar in that direction...

M--kAnd thanks again for that photo. I zoomed in and noticed the awesome milling with just a hint of texture. Enjoy it! Cheers, Brother!
