It isn't about strength, I don't recall anyone discussing how liners frequently break due to lack of strength, they release which is different and doesn't take huge amounts of force.

Mustang,Sig Sauer 239,my wife,the Yankees,shots of Southern Comfort, and any Benchmade with an Axis lock.
 
I carry fixed blades, I carry folders with lockbacks, axis locks, compression locks and liner locks. I know my folders and their locks and never use them outside of their capabilities. Of my current folders no lock has failed me. But, in the past I had a nice little 440c fixed blade and it snapped - reason I was stupid and used it outside of its capabilities. Moral - "horses for courses" as long as you know the horse can run the course.

Ha! Ha! Ha! Good one! In the CS Proof DVD, why doesn't Lynn Thompson hang from any of his knives like the rest of his crew does? I think we all know the answer to that one. :D
 
ferrari ( I can't believe it hasn't been said yet), 1911, Anna Kournikova, Casa Noble Anejo, and MANIX
:D

So if a lockback, liner, frame, compression, etc. lock fails, will the blade close on your hand? I think Benchmade should find some ways to make the Axis lock look more attractive and build it into some gent style knives.

The compression lock places a liner between an 'anvil' stop pin on the spine-side of the handle and the spine side of the blade tang. The axis lock presses a lock bar into the liner of the knive's spine side with pressure from the spine side of the blade tang. The compression locked knive can be made slimmer than the axis locked knife, though it usually isn't, and the axis locked knife flicks open and closed with less pressure and less skill. They both fail the same way and both have the same advantages over liner locks, frame locks, and lockbacks.

Benchmade uses the axis lock in the 77x series, the 921, 94x series, the 960 series, and the 706. The only way for it to be in even more of a gents' knife would be if it had been in the 733-01 or 941D2CF and it was. ;)
 
Wrong again. ;)

The correct answers are: BMW M3, Ruger MK2 Gov't., my girlfriend, Ohio State football, anything so long as it's dark beer, and an AGR Scout. :)
