lock types?

[Lt.Hawkins]

anyone have a web page or what not of different blade lock types? pictures would be nice, so i can actually recognize one, instead of just being able to spout out "oh, a liner lock is blah blah blah whereas a lockback is blah bleh blah but blah"?

There was a good discussion on the technical forum of lock types recently. Of course, there's no pics there.

What I do when I want to see different knives is head to store.knifecenter.com, and look them up. If you want to do that, here are some lock types and their representatives:

lockback: Buck 110 (backlock) Spyderco endura (midlock)

liner lock: spyderco Wegner

compression lock: spyderco gunting

axis lock: Benchmade 710 Axis

Arc Lock: SOG vision

Integral lock: Reeve Sebenza

Rolling lock: REKAT Carnivour

Okay, none of the pics you'll find will really have the detailed workings that you want, but at least you can see basically what's being talked about.

Hi, For more info go to WWW.AGRUSSELL.COM and poke around there a while. A.G. has been
in the knife business for a very long time. It's also a very good place to buy. Those folk's are the
are the best there is to buy from . Not the cheapest but the very best for quality of service. Ask for
them to send you their little catalouges., they're great reading material. Enjoy.

If you want pictures showing how different locks work, the only web page I've seen with diagrams of locks is... here at Spyderco's web site! Click "Edge-U-Cation" above and then click on "Knife Anatomy". <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Just a little addition to Joe's post. More and more, integral locks are being called frame locks. In addition to the Sebenza, the Camillus EDC, Outdoor Edge Paragee, and there is a new Kershaw -- the name of which deserts me -- you can find it in the News section at Knife Center, all have integral locks. So do the CRKT S-2 and the Benchmade 750.

Would you be thinking of the
Kershaw/Ken Onion Chive?

We all start with 10 fingers. Those with Spydies have 9 to spare, Still need a thumb. Good thing I still have 8 to spare...
