it is a lock back I believe. You push down in the center of the back of the knife.

The lock should in time loose up a little but the lock is supposed to be tough. The entire purpose of this knife is the tough lock and so it doesn't give out easy n break. Sounds fine to me, mines the same way n I'm happy with mine and I'm a knive enthusiast. My opinion knife works the way it should

not the one i have,,, it is a standard three blade pocket knife... you force the blade open and it is usable.... the blade neither lacks open nor needs to be unlocke to close....

Not certain, but this is a really nice knife with a locking sheath. Very strong and sharp out of the box.

No but it's the smoothest and fastest opening knife of it's kind. The liner lock won't break your thumb when you go to close the blade, either. It's my favorite knife and I love its heft although it may hang a little heavy in certain type pants. But I wear blue jeans so no problem. I love the handle, also.

The blade would break before the lock gave way. It's much like Cold Steel's Triad Lock. There's no way to accidently close this knife. If you ever handle one and try to close it, you'll instantly see what I mean. Get it. It's awesome!

No. It does not lock.I wok in teh jungle with expeditions. This is FAR the best knife ever! The multipurpose tools are amazing. If you are looking for fixing or building things improvising this is the best tool! It is good to you depending on what are you going to do with it.

It's incredibly solid. The blade will not be deployed unless The thumb hole or release is deployed. The lock up is one of the strongest lock ups of the blades I own. I would definitely suggest this blade for any blade lover.

It is a frame lock. The lock is part of the frame not a separate liner. The handle is stainless steel. Fabulous EDC knife.

I agree with other people that the knife does not lock, but it is a solid knife to work with.

Hello - This is a very nice piece but no, the main blade does not lock. I like mine so well I bought a second for myself and have given a third as a gift. Happy Holidays

I believe it is but I've never physically owned one or compared the two. This one however is a great knife and I recommend it.

My lock sticks a lot, I have to jiggle it around to close it. In addition, the blade is really cheap steel, I dropped my knife while it was open and it bent the tip over. My blade is made in China and I have decided to never use this company again even though it is local to me.

No. But the blade is secure when closed. It never opens on me on accident being an open assisted knife.

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.

It is not a real benchmade knife, therefore it was just a play of poor "copy-cat" workmanship. The locking mechanism is not the correct size nor shape to hold both ends together. In fact the lock plays a huge role in the faults of this knife. By squeezing the two handles together it's not only putting pressure on the locks bolt, but also on the handles rotating bolts.
