Love the looks, difficult to flip open
I love the looks of Kershaw’s sub frame locking knives. I was also pleased to see a D2 blade, opposed to the assorted Chinese #Mov steels Kershaw normally uses.
My beef is that the Tumbler, like the Bareknuckle design, I find it near impossible to draw this knife out of my pocket and easily flip it open. The reason is that the subframe is so large, compared to the knife frame, that my finger(s) make contact with the subframe and this pretty much makes it impossible for the blade to open. Once I adjust my grip to keep fingers from contacting the subframe, the flipping action is great with the bearing bushings.
If I carry a flipper knife, I want to draw from pocket/flip open in one smooth motion. Just like my Bareknuckle, I won’t be carrying this knife, and that’s a shame.
