Anyone on here have any experience with the Gingrich tactical Delta Lock?

This is my first time seeing it, but is it old news? I always find lock innovation to be interesting. This one seems pretty cool, with what amounts to a liner lock with 4 points of contact. I wonder how easy to actuate it is? Any thoughts?

Hoback is working on a different but similar lock concept which is a framelock with a larger contact surface than typical.

I have no experience or knowledge of how this delta lock works but I will be curious to see how it performs over time.

The Ontario Bob Dozier Arrow has a linerlock that not only engages as the bottom like a regular linerlock, but also at the top of the tang and acts as a stop pin. This design was notorious for developing lockup issues.

Curious to see how the Delta Lock does.
 
Yikes, the photos appear to show a brutal typo on the knife:

Rangers are known for physical fitness, toughness, and being highly trained in the skills necessary to create rapid deployment light infantry mayhem anywhere, any time.

They are not, however, known for their spelling.

*jk, I know it's just a typo and we all make them
 
I like the innovative lock, and i would definitely buy it if it wasn't BD1. I just haven't had a great experience with BD1.

Nothing wrong with BD1, it needs sharpening quite often is a drawback but it's crazy simple to get really sharp.
I've had 2 Spydies, UKPK and Manix 2 with the steel and both were excellent and at a great price point, unlike the knife in question here.
 
I don't understand this lock. More discrete points of contact aren't what you need for a stronger interface. All this sounds like it'll achieve is lock rock. I'd be happy to be proven wrong, though.

I bought a UKPK in BD1. I liked it so much, I gave it to my brother and bought the version in S110v. :p

I agree though, it’s fine.

It's supposedly made by Jeff Freeman of Freeman Outdoor Gear.

Really!
Good news if he's making it, bad news he can't spell.o_O
And he should be concentrating on making more of the 451 button locks seeing as they seem to be out of stock every time I get the urge to buy one,:( like today.

Indication that it was made in China?

Just kidding, not trying to start any rumours.

That’s what I thought of first. The Ontario Knives arrow had a unique lock system where the lockbar engaged not only where a linerlock typically does as well as up to where the stop pin would be on a typical knife. The model experienced all kinds of lockup issues.
 
BladeHQ's current picture does not have a typo.

But... Even still, a 3.29 inch-bladed folder that weighs in at a Medford-esque 7.29oz coupled with with pretty underwhelming material choices for the price range... And it's ugly. All for only $225!

And who doesn't want a huge, awkward, milled-out advertisement for the lock incorporated into their knife?

This thing is just a big fatted cow that has been branded, similarly most useful when taken apart for parts and materials.
