How does the Chris Reeve lock compare to the original LinerLock? Is it worth the extra $50 in your opinion?

I personally prefer the ultimate functional simplicity and reliability of the Chris Reeve Lock. This Spyderco Sage Titanium is ALWAYS in MY POCKET ! I have knives from many manufacturers, including Chris Reeve. Chris Reeve knives are the highest level of tolerance - so smooth in function they are PERFECTION, but this SPYDERCO SAGE TITANIUM is PURE FUNCTION, DURABILITY and SURVIVABILITY for YOU and IT ! It will easily last for 3-5 generations !

To me, the main advantage of the frame lock is that it is easy to clean. I have used mine to field dress wild game and it cleans right up. Other mechanisms using liners or bolts have more nooks and crannies to retain dirt, grime, blood, etc so I generally carry frame locks for hunting and fishing. For EDC in a clean environment, I don't think it matters - they are both bullet proof.

It works really well and is extremely durable. The primary benefit is that it allows the knife to be a lot thinner. If the size of the knife doesn't matter, then its probably not worth the extra money. I personally love the more efficient design and find it easier to disengage.

I don't have a sage 1. I love this knife after I fixed the factory burs and oiled it. Carry it every day. It replaced my Stainless delica 4

the lock up will be solid either way, but im my opinion the solid feel,durabuility and simplicity of the titanium handles are worth the 50 bucks.

The only reason I would spend an extra $50 or so on a Reeve is because I can spare the money to buy the "best". I recently lost my Sage, the clip lost some of its strength over time and I believe that is the reason it fell out of my pocket somewhere. Point being that I am glad it was a spyderco and not an expensive REEVE that I lost. As far as function goes, I would rather buy the sage for actual usage and maybe a reeve as a glorified gentlemans knife to be used sparingly.

Definitely worth it in my opinion. As you grip a framelock, your hand is actually putting pressure inward on the lock bar. This creates an even greater measure of protection from the blade closing unlike a liner lock where your hand is on the outer scales.

My understanding is that a "liner lock" is not a part of the knife's scale, or gripping surface. A "liner lock" is a lock that is part of the liner of the scale or grip. This lock is technically a "frame lock", where the titanium handle has been shaped so that the scale itself is used to lock the knife. I'm afraid I don't know where you got the $50 difference from; is that price for a different version of the "Sage"? If so, I suspect it's like comparing apples and oranges - each version of the Sage is a Salute to a different Innovation in folding knives, so it really depends on whether you want a liner lock or a frame lock.

Yes it is worth it, the frame lock is different in my opinion and has a nice lock up. Liner locks feel more weak.but you will have to get used to the stiff lock bar for the first week.

No don't remember one. I bought a lockable pin and have had no problems with it getting stolen. Also, the lockable pin kills all the wiggle, so there is no shimmying as you drive:Trimax T-3BLACK Premium 5/8" Key Receiver Lock Rugged BLACK epoxy powder coatThis Trimax pin is like $13 bucks, and totally worth it.

It's probably the most solid lock out there, along with the compression lock, AXIS-lock, and lock-back... or a good titanium framelock (there's a good variety out there). The spring pressure is constant and stiff, and I'd wager my life on this lock. It won't fail. As far as accidentally releasing the lock in the middle of hard use, I've been trying to figure out what you'd have to be doing for that to happen... I think this design is the one least likely to be tripped by accident. It's easier to inadvertently trip an axis or compression lock than this one, and those two are very well designed.

Yes it works. Don't know if there is a replacement lock. I would call the company and ask for suggestions.

It does have a liner lock mechanism in place and it works great. Fast opening and closing. The thing is huge though but the wood on the handle is beatiful and the blade is carbon steel.

It worked great from the Kwikset 909 I got from Home Depot. The date from the box was 4/16/13. It was a newer model I think. It should work with your five year old lock in my option. If not you might have to go to Home Depot and get one for $88. I hope this helps. Rock on. PK

Not familiar with the 1006 so I did a search. The 1006 looks like the one that came on my Cannon safe. This lock is about the same. You press the right buttons, it clicks and the safe can be opened. This new lock has a different angle - Meaning the original was sloped to face up a little. This one doesn't. Not a big deal for me. Had mine for about a year now and I keep my CCW weapon in there so it's used almost every day. So far so good. Later, John

I'm not sure as my walker isn't like the one described...mine doesn't have locks. However, I have folded my Mighty Mack into a Camry trunk, just turn the handlebars arounduntil you need to use it. However I need to get the Nova into whatever I'm driving it's worth it. I feel so secure when I have this with me.

I had the same problem trying to find the correct barrel lock key, and I too paid for the same Jonard TTB-6 steel barrel lock key ($49.00 on Amazon) and it did NOT fit, I contacted the company whom made that key , and it is the only size their selling, but I do have the correct key that will work,eveyone try to tell you it work, but it do not. however it depend how old is the lock. I got both keys( the new lock and the old lock) but I have to pay $1,000.00 for each key

Mine is solid as a rock heavy duty but liner lock barely locks-I don't trust it.

I should have added that the locking system is an import version of the Schlage lock design and they take the Schlage key blanks. I'm not saying this is an issue but only the locks are not Stanley per sea but rather Schlage in design.

we sell the Steal Shield coupler lock, I cannot answer any questions about this brand name other than " you get what you pay for " We believe the Steal Shield is the best, most secure lock available on the market. Sorry I can't answer your question about this brand.

Going from a Baby Lock to a Brother will be a little bit of a shock. The Baby Lock is certainly smoother than the 1034D will ever be and more than likely you had more options on your 8 thread Babylock. With that being said, I really like my Brother 1034 D and have not had any of the issues that have been discussed in the neg reviews. I have also used a Singer Serger and must say that my machine threads amazingly in comparison to the Singer! I also have not had nearly as many broken threads as I have on the Singer. I am glad I bought this product and have been using it for 18 months now.

I'm not sure about your question since we decided not to use the Schlage lock. We found out that to use the user app you have to pay a monthly fee. So we used a Kwick lock instead. We really love the lock and has worked out very well for us.

Not from Amazon that I have seen. Check the Master Lock web site. I bought both from Amazon and just deal with 2 keys....

I have to agree with beholder242. The lock is as robust as it can be considering the application. I don't believe that the average person could defeat it simply by trying to pick it.

It does have a liner locking system. It locks up like a bank vault, very solid.
