I agree with this! Of course I'm pretty new to the Triad lock. I wish I would have jumped on one a long time ago now!Tri-ad lock for the win...other than that, a fixed blade to be sure if you don't want a blade to fold on you.

What's the best lock-you have? What kind of lock on a folder?
Spyderco GB1 for me.
Axis lock, some movement but I can live with it.
I'm finding that little wiggles really bother me in the blade.
What do you mean by best lockup? If you mean the safest/strongest, then I agree tri ad lock is on the top, perhaps followed by lockback, Axis lock, and compression lock.
If you mean zero blade play developed over time, then frame lock, liner lock, and compression lock would come to my mind first.
I'm looking for zero blade play, not strongest lock
Funny how some times little wiggles can be most fascinating and at other times annoyingI'm finding that little wiggles really bother me in the blade.
Cold Steel tri-ad lock is number one, though my Recon 1 was difficult to actuate.
Spyderco CBBL is really strong as well. Though some may find it difficult to actuate[...]
What model is this and where do I find it
How is the closed blade retention after this modification? I considered making this mod to my D'Allara but then realized the spring is what keeps the blade closed as well.But you can take the spring out and snip exactly two rings off, and reassemble the knife, at least with the Manix 2 XL. I did it to both of mine and they are now about as smooth as a compression lock with a freely swinging blade. YMMV but it worked perfectly for me.
