It's simply a knife that has no locking mechnisim(sp), old pocketknives like shrade, cammilus, case, etc are slipjoints.

Well, friction folders have no locking mechanism either... the slipjoint at least has a backspring providing some tension...

And there you have the definitive answer...

It was not a stupid question either. You can't learn anything unless you ask.
