@Backyard Samurai I've never had a bad QC knife from cold steel. On the other hand I've had some atrocious shit from benchmade an besides from being over priced they seem to be under heat treated in cut tests.

So they chose Spyderco and did all the different locking mechanisms with Spyderco on the second trial.

@@rlanger3108 The Ball Bearing lock is better than the AXIS lock in more ways than just spring's. The design of the Ball Bearing lock is COMPLETELY different than the bar lock / "AXIS" lock making it stronger & more reliable. There's only one spring on the Ball Bearing lock that has a vertical metal rod going through the middle of it. That rod & spring are pushing a circular steel bearing into the notch of the blade that is also aligned into the metal framed back spacer making it all one solid metal piece when engaged. The Ball Bearing lock is also self adjusting as it wears insuring that the lock will never develope "play". You can upgrade the Ball Bearing lock too with titanium ball cages , ti liners & a ti back spacer making is way stronger than it already is. There's no upgrades available for the AXIS lock other than ti omega spring's that I know of. Lock bar or "AXIS" locks use two spring's to push a horizontal steel rod over the notch of the blade & there's one other bar built into the frame of the knife to keep the blade from folding the other direction but that's it. I'm not saying the "AXIS" lock is a poor design , on the contrary I think they are one of the best locks out in the market today , the action is super smooth plus ambidextrous , it's incredibly strong & locks up with zero blade play. The omega spring's are the only aspect of the design that's suspect & that's only if they fail. I've yet to have an omega spring break on me. Personally the Ball Bearing lock is my favorite with the "AXIS" / lock bar lock coming in a close second. I just picked up the SOG Seal XR. The new SOG XR lock is supposed to be rated at 2,000lbs & is said to give the tri-ad lock a run for it's money. That's a bold statement to make from SOG , I'm going to put this knife to the test & see for myself !

When I was a kid a friend of mine had the brilliant idea to stab a basketball with a traditional backlock knife some 40 years ago. He used an overhand grip. I just knew even at 10 years old this wasn't going to go well. He squeezed the knife hard and inadvertently depressed the backlock with his grip and while stabbing the inflated basketball the knife closed on his fingers. It is the reason today that I still cringe when I see backlock knives. I can still see the horror and is the only flaw I can find in that lock. Not a good choice knife if you intend it as a stabbing tool. Food for thought.

I'm going to have to disagree and say that for most utility based applications, the back lock is the way to go. As much as I like my other knives, my back lock knives are the ones I carry most due to the strength in the design, lack of free swinging action, and lack of accidental openings. Their ease of use and recognizability also makes them inherently less frightening to non-knife people. Yeah, a fixed blade is best for hard use, but if that isn't an option for legal or other reasons, a back lock is likely the way to go. In my experience, the more simple, traditional, and boring a knife is, the more acceptable it is to have.

I did a bunch of research and came to the conclusion that the triad lock is the only lock that is substantially stronger than other locks almost every other lock the only thing that matters is ease of deployment and closing and a reliability of deployment, lockbacks will close and open reliably, but i could open and close 9 out of 10 knives more quickly and easily than a lockback, honestly the marginal difference in strength isnt worth it on a back lock. I would also put axis lock up there with triad lock because it is less likely to fail from impact and is better for battoning even if its not recommended its a genuinely more beneficial strength than everything but triad lock.

This is a very helpful video for newcomers to the community. It can be hard to get to know all these things and the knife nerds usually forget how it was when they were new to the hobby. Anyway, I think that you had a great point, that every modern lock is theoretically strong enough for every day use, but all of them can fail if not designed/made properly. We should seek real quality over theoretical strength of a lock when looking for a knife.

well if our using your knife in the way it should be used a lock means nothing. the blade will be pressed up into the opened position against a blade stop made of steel. so it wont close on you anyway. its when you get to trying to use it in a none designed way that locks get stressed and become important for the user so you dont lose a finger. but thats just my opinion

With the external stop pin (e.g. Sage 5) it certainly is Tri-Ad among liner locks. With a default setup like Para 2 and Junior it's more like a Lock Back among liner locks-that cut out for the stop pin through the liner does weaken the liner itself at some degree.

I'm sorry if my English is not absolutely correct. Greetings from 🇩🇪. Locking blades are a thing I'm struggling with, since i cut myself with a buck 110. I abused it too much. Clearly my fault, but at this point i started thinking about locks in general. You have slipjoints, locking blades and fixed blades. In my opinion it's a bit like climbing with a robust rope, without a rope and with a rope that holds a little bit. If you're climbing with robust rope (fixed) you know that nothing can happen. You don't have to be careful. If you're climbing without a rope (slipjoint) you are much more careful because you don't want to hurt yourself or die. But if you are climbing with a rope that holds some weight but not that much, you never know what happens if you make a mistake and in the end you are as careful as if there is no rope at all. So, what's the point of locks? I hope you understand what I'm talking about.

Solid coverage of the State of usual locks today. Got my EWC a few days ago and love the action both opening and closing. A very unique design that is a 10 on the cool scale. Thanks Ray!

I don’t think he’s made this exact video before. But even if he has, I was locked in the whole time. Eh? Eh?

Don't do stupid things with knives and carry the right tool for the job. Knives are cutting tools. Any well made knife is going to work just fine for normal cutting tasks. If you're using a knife for something other than cutting, you're using the wrong tool for the job. If you insist on doing stupid things with your knives instead of carrying the right tool for the job, carry a fixed blade either on you (holsters have come a long way and they're pretty easy to carry these days) or in your car.

They even have neck knives now like the CRKT Minimalist or the Mtech 20-30.

I live in the UK where locking knives are legally problematic, so I only have a few. Particularly interesting therefore to see your illustration of actions and mechanisms I will seldom encounter. Really interesting and educational thank you.

Scott eDog yeah then I saw the full review, and it’s only vg10, and in the Japan factory. If they’re going to do a knife with an interesting lock do it in Taiwan with a good steel.

Thanks Nick, you're entertaining to listen to. To a southern boy, you sound like a "wise guy", (pun intended). But really, you are a smart man, that was very informative, I've been collecting knives for a few years and had never seen a few of those locks. I'm looking forward to your disassembly video. I like any lock that keeps me from cutting my fingers with an unintentional closing of the blade. Slip joints are probably the only dangerous knives around. Unless you use the knife for something that it was not intended for (like using it as a punch and hitting it on the end like a chisel) you probably shouldn't have a problem and the strength of the lock won't be an issue. The only time I've had a knife (slip joint) close up on my was when I was trying to use it as a hole punch or reamer. I do like my Firebird (Ganzo) knives with the Axis (sliding bar) lock, like you said you can pull the lock pin back against the spring and the blade is free swinging so with a little bit of practice you can flip it open or closed. They also have very free swinging liner locks because all their knives use bearing pivots and blade flippers.
