Folders that Lock Closed?

I know this isn't the kind of thing you were looking for, but for completeness. . .

Opinels lock closed - at least the ones with the ring lock mechanism.
 
Just a guess, but I'd bet that all the kershaw AO knives lock closed, since they are pretty much "open or closed" never partway, it seems like a basic safety thing.

I posted a picture some time ago with a handful of my Kershaw AO knives halfway open, i.e. neither open or closed.
I can only speak about the knives I have, but my Offset, Cyclone, Blur, and ZT 0400 are all AO knives that do not lock closed.
 
How about Boker Toplocks? I never handled one but as far as I have read... you need to press the button to be able to flip the blade open. Then you release the button and it gets locked untill you press it again and flip it shut.

I just bought a Lone Wolf folder (the Doug Ritter Gentlemen's knife) and i love the idea that the blade locks when it is closed.
I like carrying a knife in my back pocket, but I've been a bit fearful about it ever since a folder opened in my pocket and slashed a hole in my pants and car seat.
Does anybody else make a folder that locks closed?
I'm thinking of getting a Paul Prankster, but I would like to know if there are others that I should consider.

Have you had any bladeplay with your Lone Wolf Poehlmann Gents folder?
I bought one last year and returned it because of that. I never used it hard at all. Sure, I opened it a few thousand times!:D Really a fun design. But blade wobble after 1 week was too much for me.

Just wondering.

The ring lock rotated in my pocket and it opened. No longer a carry consideration.
