Hello all.
I used to be quite keen on assisted openers (autos are illegal for civilians here) until I had two of them fail on me. The first was a Kershaw Blur. It still locked, so it basically stayed a real loose manual folder. The second was a Gerber Fast Draw. That failure was worse. No injuries, thankfully, but the blade now just swings free, locking about 1/4th of the time. It makes me think twice about using my Gerber Fast Draw Mini.
Just thought I'd let you all know.
