Recalls, Issues & Notes
🔧 Known Issues
Difficult Flipper Deployment
The titanium frame-lock version of the Riv has a notably stiff detent. If fingers rest on the clip or frame lock portion of the handle while attempting to flip, the knife can be very difficult or impossible to deploy. Some users report sore fingers from repeated flipping attempts.

Fix: Adjust Grip Position or Break In
Position fingers away from the frame lock side when flipping. The detent loosens somewhat with break-in over the first few weeks of use. Some owners also find success using the thumb hole instead of the flipper tab for more reliable one-hand opening. Removing and replacing the pocket clip does not resolve the issue as it is related to lockbar tension.
