Or then again:

Back lock is boring?

Compression lock is strongest? (Or maybe frame lock is). Also compression very cool to use, once you get used to it!

Liner lock is fun to play with. So is frame lock. I really like turning the knife upside-down, pressing the liner aside, then swinging the blade closed. It's like a ritual to me. I know, I know, it's slow. So what?

There is something about liner lock and frame lock: You actually get to see how the blade is locked.

The lock on my Manix 2 is very nice, easy, and fun. I forget what it's called. Didn't Eric invent it?

But, OK: I do like the backlocks on my Caly 3 and Caly 3.5. Wouldn't have them any other way.
