Lionsteel ROK. 400 USD, kinda underwhelming tbh. Are knife makers entering the fashion stage, where the price decoupled completely from quality? This is not my first knife in this price class that was kinda underwhelming. Actually, out of all my expensive knifes, it's a chinese we-knife that wins the quality contest by far. Closely followed by a cheaper Civivi that trumps all of my 300+ USD folding knifes.
Yes, I have 30-40 Victorinox and Wenger Knifes and not a single one of those let me down. All of them sub 100 USD, even the fixed blade ones and absolutely nice quality and service.
Or is this flipper action intentional, because losening the tension would make the blade wobble or some design mistake like that?

I would send that back. I’ve had knives with bad detents but never fail to open outright. Chinese companies unironically have more experience making knives in the last decade than probably the last 100 years of Italian made knives.
Lionsteel folders are generally underwhelming, in a lot of ways. I had a RoK that i switched over to Skiff bearings a while back. It was a pain in the ass to do, but it did improve the action somewhat.
