Benchmade Axis Lock test (done by Benchmade) - VID -

I would like to know what that number translates to. 600 + inch pounds? Meaning 600 lbs per square inch?

I just wanna see them hang 600lbs off the back end and let it swing. A number that means something.

If the lock will hold 100 or 200 or 300 lbs at the lanyard hole, than that means something to me, because I know what the measurement means.

Any one have a translation?

FYI, this knife has no lanyard hole. It is about 3.75" from the pivot to the butt-end of the handle (and the liners extend fully to the edge of the knife under the scales).

Also, the lock never failed. The blade-tang broke (and this is not exactly thin blade-stock). Mine measures at 3.36mm (or .132") at the spine above the pivot and at the flipper.

My full-size Griptilian only measures .115" at the spine. In fact, I'm not even sure that there are more than a handful of Axis-lock folders out there thicker than the 300SN (The Adamas comes to mind).

For such a tiny little knife to take that kind of abuse is impressive enough that it tells me I'll never break the lock or tang (hell, I probably won't break the pocket-clip - it's pretty stout too).

Me too!

I know the lock bar and liners on the Adamas are 20% thicker then the standard AXIS models.

I'd be curious to see the numbers on the Contego also. The blade is thick (0.156") CPM-M4 steel. It's hard to tell from just eyeing it but the lock bar and liners look a bit thicker to me then on the Rift which has a (0.114") thick CPM-154 blade .

Have to take them out and have a good look side by side...

Either way I'm sure it would be impressive also...

looks pretty good. That means you would be able to freely hang about 350lbs off the lanyard point by doing the rough math.
