Are "traditional" liner-locks on the way out?

Well said Robertson ...IF and that's a big IF the knife is used as it is intended there should never be a problem - but there have been times while using a blade as intended and in the safest way a non-locking folder has begun to close on my hand - It can happen - My interest is in seeing what our human minds can come up with by way of engineering and design.. sure that brass "half moon" on a cub scout knife was a good idea.. my son lost mine years ago - but if I'm not wrong - Schrade used the same feature on a single blade jack .. I have one very old knife with a "sort of lock" pressure on the closed small blade releases the main blade - but that knife is over 100 years old.. it's got a right to "slop and slip"
