Rotoblock, designed by Lion Steel, works by turning it clockwise to lock the framelock...but it doesn't automatically engage. Its not like autolawk that engages every time you open the knife. You can sometimes turn it into lock position by accident, if you happened to have your finger positioned on it or like RYP mentioned by waving the knife open. Personally i dont often wave knives, because its hard on the pocket, but its cool that you can. Anyway, Its sort of like a volume nob on radio...you turn it one way to make volume go up(locking the framelock in our case) and other way to turn it down...i know, its like the best explanation ever![]()
I thinks this is where the hang up for everyone is. It sounds like RYP is saying that every time you open the knife that it will automatically engage the Rotoblock feature and lock the knife. By your description, it sounds like the user is going to have to turn the Rotoblock dial to engage the lock. I guess I'm not so sure how by "waving" the knife open it will engage the Rotoblock without some assistance from the user. Just my 2 cents.
