hey vic,
I saw your post on BF on the thread Kershaw Knives News Thread here:
http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=434769&page=35If your JYD2 turned out to be a Lemon....which is what i think happened....
you could personally email Thomas W (the Kershaw sales manager) or even Craig Green who is also in Kershaw management and arrange for the knife to be sent to Oregon....I'm sure they'd fix it/ replace it right away.....outstanding customer service....
Thomas seems to think it is my lack of strength and ability. Maybe he is right. IMO the design is poor. If it were properly designed, a person of ordinary strength and dexterity should be able to open it easily with one hand. I think I have at least ordinary strength and dexterity. All "flipper" actuated knives should have an assist, since the flipper only lets you open it half-way. Then you must sling the knife (not a good idea) or pull the blade to it open the rest of the way.
