I have one rule when using a folding knife; if i intend to do a task where I have concerns about the lock failing, simply use a fixed blade. No regrets and no bleeding cuts. Thanks for the video.

If you can carry a fixed blade knife, why are you even carrying a folding knife in the first place?

Excellent! I have been trying all kinds of knives to carry in my pocket and found that spring assist and liner locks could reasonably easily open in my pocket, on my key ring, and just by dropping them. This bugged me until I bought a cold steel AD10 (not for pocket carry) and realized how the back lock (as you said) grabs it back down into the frame. So many knife videos and your the only one that addresses this (and the gentleman you mentioned) Thanks for a smart informative video.

I own 8 pocket knives with a lockback locking system. I agree a lockback pocket knife is the safest pocket knife for EDC. My favorite pocket knife with a lockback is my Cold Steel American Lawman Lockback pocket knife.

I also like the clean spine on back lock knives over the open designs of other styles or the funky uncomfortable back spacers.

I very much liked this video. I have some back-locks but they have not been my favorite only because of the fidget factor. However your points have made me re think this. I have never doubted the strength but i especially want to try out this particular Spyderco. Seems like a winner.

Backlock does not ruin the symmetry of the knife as does a compression lock. They look good! Thanks for this video.

Always loved back-locks, nothing to worry about in regards to possibly disengaging the lock accidentally with traditional grips. The Manix 2 back-lock version is excellent- if you can get your hands on one now.

I've definitely gotten my endura (k390) to be able to fidget. I can flick it close, and do the axis lock style opening you were talking about.

The longevity of a back lock is a pro as well, they last forever with minimal to no maintenance.

I love using my index finger to disengage spyderco backlocks, usually it requires both breaking in of the knife AND your index finger 😂 but once you get the hang of it it’s real fun. And you can deploy it with the lock like you said too. My Native 5s are so smooth that they just drop completely shut when I use my index finger to disengage the lock, incredibly satisfying. Definitely way more fidget friendly than people think even when you just flick them out and disengage the normal way dropping the blade to your finger and closing from there. As a lefty I really appreciate the ambidextrous nature. I have 2 Delica’s, 2 Native’s and a dragonfly - thinking of getting a k390 stretch as my next spydie backlock - or maybe going small and getting a chaparral.

A frame lock made a small hole in my jeans when it opened just like you showed in the video. Since then I only buy lockbacks and fixed blades.

How do you like the Native 5 so far? The design and sizs and back lock is really calling me. I'm seriously looking into getting either the CF version or the g10, just wish the g10 version didn't have that "B-urple" color 😂

I've always wondered what the lifespan of a backlock is for somebody like me who fidgets with them. I fidget with them excessively, makes me worry they won't last me longer than a few years.
