Calm down people
I’ve had the Diskin Toro for about two weeks now and overall it’s a very well-made knife, it has some great qualities.
For one the additional detent is a non-issue. I saw other reviews where people were jumping out windows due to this additional detent, but in my experience with the knife I have, there’s no additional effort needed to open this knife via the flipper…

method. The action is fast and the knife opens every time. There is zero play in the blade when opened.
The minimalist designed flipper tab is a thing of genius. Just enough jimping on the tab to allow for good purchase and quick opening. It opens with a solid lock-up, and Matt’s novel frame-lock interpretation works flawlessly.
My only criticism would be how smooth the machined titanium handles can be, especially with dry hands. I would have liked to have seen some more texture on the handles to accommodate a more secure grip.
Good design, ruined by ridiculous 2nd detent
I'm gonna keep this short so you'll know exactly what's going on with this knife.
This knife has a second ball detent on the top handle scale, opposing the detent that is on the lockbar. The reasoning Kizer/Diskin gave is that this second detent will keep the blade more stable during movement. This may or may not be true. Unfortunately, what I and many other reviewers know is…

that this puts an unnecessary force on the blade, causing the force that is needed to disengage the detent to be much greater.
The end result is a very sluggish action, with a blade that requires much force to disengage the detent as well as pushing the blade along till lockbar engagement. This reminds me of big Cold Steel folders very much, but they have a reason to be stiff/sluggish. Another thing is the 2nd detent actually causes the blade to be LESS stable; I couldn't eliminate side-to-side blade-play until I have tightened the pivot down far more than factory levels, causing the blade to be stiff as hell, and definitely not drop-shut.
All in all, a beautiful design ruined by an superfluous gimmick.
