Now I've been drinking a little, but I was thinking about a knife with a double lock system. I have seen a few liner locks with an extra safety device, but I was wondering if anyone makes a knife with two seperate locks. What came to mind was a axis frame/liner lock combo. But a lockback / frame lock might work too. Has anyone seen anything remotely similar to this or is it a figment of my alcohol induced imagination? Would it be possible? -Not that I've seen too many posts about missing fingers, but something like this would help to make a folder as much like a fixed blade as possible. Might be hard to close, but still effective.

CRKT knives often use the LAWKS system on their linerlocks, and I believe they now use an automatically-deployed LAWKS. When you open the knife, the linerlock clicks into place normally, and the LAWKS blocks it from closing. So you have to release the LAWKS before you can release the linerlock.
The MOD CQD series have a similar system. Open the blade and the plunge lock (button lock) holds the blade open. On the back of the handle where the thumb ramp would be, there's a button you push forward to lock that in place. You have to release this second lock before you can depress the plunge lock again to close the knife.

I'd much rather be able to close my knife with one hand than have an unnecissarily strong double locking mechanism. That's just overkill.

There are a couple of lockback folders with a lock for the lock so to speak. This keeps the lock bar from being able to lift up or depressed after you open the blade.
The SOG Twitch XL I owned has such a lock. These are very nice AUS8a blades and the knife is not that expensive to purchase.
There is a very expensive one also being made with a bolt that goes through the lock bar to keep it from being depressed or lifted up. The name eludes me at this time. I'm sure it will come to me later though.
The expensive one is the Fulcrum Extreme Ratio folder. These are basically sharpend pry bars. They are dog ugly knives but sport probably the strongest lock ever put into a folder. (one of them anyway)

I'm not sure about the utility of such a knife. First, it probably would be difficult to operate. Second, two locks won't necessarily double lock strength, but even if they would, there already are a few folders with insanely strong locks. A device which adds an extra degree of safety (like the auto LAWKS) seems prefferable to an additional lock.
But now that you mentioned, I remember I've seen a folder with two lockbacks operating simultaneously.
The blade had a pin which protruded a few mm out of the blade (sort of a dual thumbstud, but it was used strictly for locking) and there was one lock on each side of the blade who was grapling the pin. As for disengaging, I guess one could push both locks at the same time, the handles weren't that large IIRC.
