I have never been about to unintentionally unlock that knife, even under high torque and handle twisting.

The Military's lock, as well as many other liner-lock knives, such as the BM 910, can be unlocked in certain grips.
This seems to occur more often with "fat finger" people.
I can do it when I try, but a couple of people who looked at some of my knives were able to do it without trying. "Fleshy" fingered guys one and all.
Though the BM800 and Military genarally have reliable liner-locks, it is the handle shapes that make these designs great IMO. The handle shapes are different but great in there own way.
Still, I'd suggest finding a knife with one of the newer lock designs. Look about and I'm sure you'll find one with a handle that is pretty good.

You know, you're right about that. They weren't outrageous at all. I completely let that slip my mind. OK, then let me retract my previous objection and substitute a new one:
"I don't want it to be a limited run because I'm afraid they might sell out before I know they are available!"
Looks like I could work for the Psychic Friends Network! Turns out that's exactly what happened
