Wow thats young. He will appreciate it even more when hes older.

I saw some serious anti-760 remarks on a common blade forum recently. Had to do with lockup - not a problem on any I've seen!

I've never had any problems with the lockup on my 760. I can't speak for anyone else but I would think that if you had problems like that with any BM all you would have to do is send the knife in question in to warenty/repair and the problems would be taken care of. That's what I love about BM knives, not only are they asthetically beautiful and mechanically sound, but they are also backed up by an amaizing warrenty and repair pollicy!

I guess that's why I try to stay with quality designs and companies that stand behind their products. i know one day, my children will inherit all my knives.

BM are built so well that my grandkids will EDC them (prob not but they very well could).
