Benchmade Axis lock ideas

[mmarkh]

Fanboys from both sides want to argue which is better but there is no answer. Both are good at what they do. I have several of both brands and like them both.

I like back Lock of the Spiderco a lot! I think they even do the liner lock very good as on the Milli and Tenacious. I have have many back lock Spydies.............
That being said, I thing everything in life would be better with an AXIS lock.
Knives, Cars, Soda Macines, Toaster Ovens and the Space Shuttle.
It just gets no better.
Thanks you.

Compression lock and the ball-locking Spydercos are rivals of the axis lock.
They are smooth and solid. I like all three systems and don't really have a favorite.

Let's throw in the SOG Arc lock. Shortest distance between lock and unlock is not a straight line.

B/M axis lock the SOG and Cold Steel variations are all very similar.

There's no smoother opener than a tuned Axis Lock.
