No, it is the same as a Swiss army knife. Some kind of pressure plate. Although it is no back is still quite strong

There is a small metal lock where the blade goes that locks into position when you open the blade. You must move it out of the way yup close the blade.

It is a lock open safety only, and a dual lock to close. The knife opens very easily. ......best knife I've ever owned!

No, they do not. It's a good solid knife and I've had no problem with the blades closing unexpectedly, but they do NOT lock.

It has a liner lock on the inside of the handle that locks into place when the blade opens fully you simply use your thumb to slide the liner lock back to the unlock position closest to the handle on the left side and the blade will release from the lock position and close.

Yes, but it's hard to operate because of it's position. There is a second way to open it with a place on the blade. I wouldn't advise your getting this knife. I returned my first one and got a replacement that is slightly better. I would not recommend this knife period.

No, the blade fold open and closed. They do not lock in position once opened.

no but it open easier than some assisted opening knives I own such as my kershaw cryo. I find most knives that I own open much faster than assisted opening knves and its one less thing that can break.

It does not have a "lock" persay but when it is closed it will not open unless you open it.the knife when opeed has that side clip on the inside to keep it open and that same side clip keeps it closed.

If you start to open the blade with your thumb, about half way open the spring will assist with the rest. I usually give the spring an assist by flicking my wrist to "snap" the blade into place. It doesn't always lock with just the spring.

No, at first it is a little tough to do until it gets worn down, but if you turn the open blade towards yourself and look at the handle, there is a piece that is oblique in there. Push the top of that piece so it is straight up and when that piece is straight up you can close the blade. That is the locking system. Simple, but proven effective. It'll get easier and easier to close.

The blades do not lock. When you carve smaller slivers are removed so the blade has less stress to close. Remember to use hand or thumb protection when pulling the blade toward yourself.

Yes. When the knife blade or any of the tools are pulled from their storage place in the handle they lock. A small black 'ring' is at the base of the tool handle and when pulled back the blade releases so the knife can close safely.

there is a metal strip that springs out when the knife is opened. you have to manualy push it back to allow the knife to close. it is on the inside where it can hold the blade in place.

This is a manual blade (no springs or assisting mechanisms) for both the main blade and seat belt cutter. There is a thumb stud for both the main knife and seat belt cutter that are relatively flush with the main body of the knife with a indent leading to it. The blade does not "lock" in the close position, but does lock in the open position. The locking mechanism is linear and respective to the blades side (the main blade and seat belt open in opposite sides).

There is a thin piece of metal that slides over to lock the blade in the open position. To close you will slide this thin metal lock back to the side, out of the way for the blade to close. It is located in the index finger groove of the handle. If the knife is open and you look at the handle where the blade goes when closed, you will see it in the way of the blade closing. Just push it over out of the way and the blade will close easily.

yes, it does lock in the open position.The push button under the chin used to unlock the flip up part and raise it, is the same one used to unlock it from the raised position & lower it. Hope this helps you out.Ryan
