Safety recall

[mrwatch]

From our county health department. Never heard of them.
GiantMouse Recalls Folding Knives
The locking mechanism on the folding knives can fail, posing a laceration hazard to the user.

Apparently, they were founded by a bunch of knife designers in 2015:

Update:

Found the recall itself.

Apparently, it's the GM12 and GMP-12 models, made in Italy. Apparently weren't cheap ones, either.

Surprising! The one I examined really showed a lot of quality.

Surprising! The one I examined really showed a lot of quality.

Which leads me to wonder--did they people the locks failed on do stupid stuff--like trying to baton them through wood. Seem almost EVERY review I see in which a decent knife fails is due to the user doing something stupid like prying or trying to hammer the knife through a log.

I mean, geez. $300 for a knife, and there's people that choose to do stuff with them that a $10 hatchet would be better suited for.
