My Hawk uses the simple winged knob. I can't imagine having to need more clamping pressure. I use fairly heavy blade tension. C above high C? Never had a blade slip.
I had a 2001 Ranger which I loved. In 2010 I paid $29,500 for a CanAm Spyder which I sold this past June. Just getting too old to ride. A new Ranger was the better deal.
I do not do a lot of scrolling because of physical problems but I have never broken a blade in my old Hawk. No front quick lever just the cam on back. 216VS.
Ah, Lake of the Woods. I used to fish Northern Manitoba first week in June every year when the ice was going out. Lived in Grand Forks and visited Winnipeg often.
