I know that Queen Cutlery is one, In there regular line up is the delrin handled ones. About two years ago they did a special run for SMKW with wood handles...Very nice!, Dont know if they have any left over or not? Ive got an older Queen also with the button lock, Its a large hunter style with black wood handles.

Speedtech and maybe TiNives uses buttonlock. Both have website and tinives even has own forum here.

Im not sure if theyre still making manual models, but GT Knives used to make some pretty nice (if somewhat unconventional) button-lock folders. The knives are kind of funky looking, but theyre actually very well made and have excellent ergonomics. I havent shopped around for a while, but they used to be available at very reasonable prices.

I believe a lot of the Microtech auto's would be considered button-locks. The same button that fires the blade also unlocks the blade. www.tripleaughtdesign is a good site to view MT's products. TiNives website is www.tinives.com

Let's not forget the MOD Duane Dieter CQD manual is a button lock (also with a secondary back-up slide lock).

Hi Doug... You have a lot of sites for production knives, but if you want a reasonably priced custom folder with a button lock, try Andre' DeVilliers. Here is his site... <A HREF="http://www.knifemaker.co.za/

Don't forget the Boker Top Lock, although it's not the best, it's also a buttonlock.

Check out GTknives.com. They are still around and make a very nice folder with 3.5" blade.

I am about to sell an old Beretta that uses a bullet as a button to unlock blade.
