From the Wiki. It's the internet, not sure how legit yo.

I have several TL-29 patterns by a couple different makers, Case, Tree Brand, Cattaraugus, all have the locking liner. It's actually very well laid out and surprisingly strong for a brass lock bar.

My skyline (sitting right next to me) is a traditional liner lock with a full sized locking liner. He means just a single leaf spring the size of just the lock bar itself, not part of a liner, and attached to a scale. From how I understand his question.

Ah - that makes sense. I thought he was asking as opposed to the thick external lockbar - a la Hinderer/Reeve
 
Work night tonight at the Phillies. Free Booze and Food for everyone. Gonna try to get outta there early and avoid getting hammered.

Yeah that's pretty much where I'm at too.

Might turn into a good one if Dawkind is willing to sell me a knife that he beat me to lol
 
Good stuff all around! Hey guys!

Xander that is what I mean... just the lock bar itself installed in a full sized scale. It would work exactly like a liner lock but save weight as there is less metal. Here's why I was asking...

Rough weight of a part I made (a very standard .140" Thick/4.5" long Framelock Frame)- 50 grams in Titanium, 21 grams in carbon fiber... I could make a folder that was half the weight of all Ti with this construction method.

We started talking button locks and I am really impressed with the William Henry button locks in carbon fiber. I'm more likely to pocket carry a lighter knife but still want size. That's what got me thinking...
 
Ugh, just got to work and checked my schedule, my vacation time has been approved but that means I work the next 8 days in a row! Well, que sera, sera. Just means I'm gonna enjoy my days off even more, if I have the energy, lol!!!

So you're thinking of something like an abbreviated subframe-lock (Kershaw Knockout) or a nested linerlock (Spyderco Military)? Or just a nested lockbar? A nested lockbar might pose some problems when it comes to maintaining alignment depending on how it's secured.

All three of those are along the lines of what I was thinking from the pics I just googled. I'm thinking just the lockbar by itself but I like those and have already considered some features like that myself. I like how the Knockout has a full thickness bar where it locks up... my idea for something like that is a bit different but I have some thoughts. :D The Spyderco seems to be done for reinforcement and stability reasons which I like... that idea is simpler than the inserts a lot of makers use too.

I agree, the lockbar would have to be super stable. I feel precision machining would be the way to go and would even consider a CNC'd frame frame for something like this.

I'm working on Framelocks for now and really enjoying them! I may have to make a few more that I have drawn up before I would get to these. I really want to do them or another type of super minimalist, lightweight yet tough folder.
 
Don't know about licensing, but the axis lock is probably my second favorite behind frame/liner locks. Pretty simple geometry too.

but if you could come up with a design that uses a 1911 or ar15 mag release that would be killer! Both are just button locks... :D:cool:
