Simply my opinion (lol doesn't count for much), but do a top quality set up on a decent quality button lock, throw some top notch bearings in there, Skiffs are my personal favorite little bit of KPL original in there to help things a long & if a stronger detent is required, simply lightly stretch out or change out the spring (if changing out the button spring & increasing coil resistance & overall spring length, LESS IS MORE lol, ask me how I know LOL) & get your pivot torque juuuuuuuussst right (porridge esk lol) then you'll be hard pressed to get a better action on a knife period!!! Racoon looks the business for a light use reliable EDC, cheers JB, hope you & the family are doing well at this time. Take care.
@@BigRedEDC I shouldn't neglect to mention lol, this is what "I DO" as the beloved hobby of an unmarried man with no children lol, THIS WAS IN NO WAY a recommendation for an untrained first time knife buyer to attempt lol. To anyone who reads my above comment, I'll say this, IM NOT AN EXPERT lol BUT I DO KNOW WHAT I'M DOING, so that being said, please if you don't know what you are doing with any folder, lol (fixed blades are a little more fail safe, regarding a set up LOL lol) PLEASE do not try the above. 😉😀👍🙏.
I really like the top liner lock I hope they bring out a version of the talarurus with the top liner lock I also hope they come up with a name for the top liner lock instead of calling it the top liner lock 😆 great video man 👍

I'm guessing it's different from a button lock because the button on this one moves an upper liner lock?
Yes sir it does
I have the barlock version, which is very good, but the TLL blows it away. A TLL Thunderbird would be wonderful.
Very much so Jim
Best colors in the NFL, and for sure am liking the top liner lock. Have a great Monday, JB.
Lol...right on Shane
Looking forward to trying something with a TLL. This might be it. Hope you are enjoying your time off JB.
Thanks Colby! I definitely am!
