I just purchased a case sod buster jr not 20 minutes ago and first thing that happend the blade got away from me and snapped shut putting a 2/8ths dent in the edge. The blade is pretty darn stiff which I didnt expect and hits hard on the metal ridge of the back spring spacer thing. I honestly do not understand why it has to connect with the metal back spacer when closing/shut.

Anyone else notice this on other brand sod busters? Anyone else have these issues on any other knives? Is it a design flaw or just a mishap flaw? It definitely opts out one handed closing and quick closing without care as holding the blade firmly and guiding it slowly to close it is needed.
