What Lock Type Is Predominate in Your Spydie Collection?
What Lock Type Is Predominate in Your Spydie Collection?
I own 22 Spyderco knives. One fixed blade, one compression lock, one slip joint, one caged ball bearing, one liner lock, and one Phantom lock. The rest (sixteen) are all lock backs. Am I the only one with this disparity?
I suppose there might be more lock backs in the line up then anything else.
How does your collection break down?

Most of Spyderco's models use lockbacks, so I doubt you're alone. My collection has one comp lock, and that's it.

2 lockbacks
1 linerlock
1 slipjoint
yup in only a collection of 4 spydies, lockbacks are still dominating

Interesting question. Only counting Spyderco:
Compression = 3, Paramilitary, Para 2, Yojimbo 2
CBBL = 2, M4 Manix 2, DLC Manix 2
Liner = 2, Rock Lobster, Vallotton
Mid = 10, 2 Ladybugs, Native lightweight, Forum Native, Stretch II, Ulize, Caly 3 ZDP, Centofante 4, H1 Dragonfly, pink Native
The interesting thing is, the mid lock is my least favorite of them all. It's not that it's a bad lock, it's just not as exciting to me as the compression and CBBL are. I think what this shows more than lock preference is, which lock saturates the catalog more so than the next. There are just simply more models available in mid lock than compression or CBBL.

I'd say 80% or more of my Spydercos are midlocks. Next largest group of them would be the spring locks, After that would come liner locks, then slip-its/slipjoints, then at least one example of every other lock Spyderco has used.
