Hm...........................maybe they should have Folding prybars would be hit on internetThere's a reason prybars don't have pivots.

probably the dumbest test on u tube I have ever seen! and I new this would make for a long tread but interesting to read though.Because triad lock is useless when the frame gets pried open. Also kinda off topic starts at 5:20 mark
You know you do it. And you know you shouldn’t. You should never use the blade of your knife—especially the blade of your folding knife—as a pry bar.
However, if you’re pry-prone anyway, we now have the right knife for you. The Barge features an integral pry bar that extends from the backspacer of the knife. Now there’s no need to even think about wrenching on something with your blade. Finally, you’ve got the right tool for the job—an actual pry bar built into the back of the knife.
Take one folder ........ any folder , TIG weld perimeter where it fold and that is thatThe challenge is how to make a *folding blade* resist lateral and vertical force.
Instead there’s a bunch of responses on how you shouldn’t pry with a folder. That’s not the question here.
I don’t understand why in the knife community there’s such a push back on lateral strength.
How would a change lock design to better resist lateral force decrease the blades cutting performance?
Most of the design features we discussed so far you could add that to any blade shape you want
Aaron Frederick makes the VBSS Breach which is designed for it. Some SEAL teams use them for breaching doors.

They don't even have an Emerson opener!Citation needed.
And yet I have carried and used knives for 60 years and have not had a problem due to "lateral stresses".
