peer agreement (net): +2a dead point is overcome Explanation: If you google "dead point" + "knife" you'll get a range of references, e.g. "The cleverly designed mechanism uses lever arms that move relative to one another. These prevent the mechanism from overcoming its dead point even when only minimal force is applied by the hand, therefore reliably preventing the blade from folding up even without a lock during normal use." https://www.boker.de/en/pocketknives/boker-plus/innovative-k... |
