I'll cosign that statement, every one I have ever held has felt kinda flimsy. Regular folding knives are bad enough with one joint, a knife with two joints and no locking spring, no thanks.

If I were in the market for something with a quick opening, a regular thumbstud would be fine. Or an Emerson Wave that has the little hook above the thumbstud that catches on your pocket when you draw and pulls the blade out.
