Getting the Protech Malibu was a huge eye-opener as to how good a properly executed bottom lock is. Imo, that lock is the future.
Looking at current knife trends, one of the fastest growing segments seems to be button lock models. I think if spyderco can catch up and get more models with this lock there are definitely gains to be made.
It's odd to me that there are currently so many spyderco models with back locks, and liner locks, and so few models with button locks and ball bearing locks. Can prolly count 'em on one hand. I'd like to see this change. Been tempted to go outside spyderco, but everytime I look there's something I dislike about the competition models, thumb Studs, flipper tabs, goofy grinds, steel to thick, or poor heat treat. So yea, I'm with ya, I'd prefer Spyderco bring on the button lock models.
