I like the opening method/closed look of friction folders, but I like locking blades. Are there any knives with both features? The only one I know of is the Case Russlock that uses a liner lock and a knife in my brain that uses an axis lock at the end of the elongated blade tang.
 
Probably you would want to hire a custom maker to make a framelock friction folder.
 
If only I had money...

I'd prefer production folders right now, but if you know of any past work done by someone that would be what I'm looking for, that'd be good, too.
 
I know one that's exactly what you want: the superb Perceval L10. I don't have it... yet, but I have one of their other knives (Le Français) and the quality is perfect.
The L10 has the "lever" opening method of classic friction knives, and it is locked by a liner-lock.
HERE is the webpage, with the choices of handle material. Isn't is a beauty:

Pretty, yes, but bejeepers are they pricey.
 
If you can't afford the Perceval, like me, you could always just pick up one of those Svord Peasant Knives. It doesn't lock, per se, but if you're gripping it, it's very unlikely to open up, as you have your palm pressed against the extending tang.
 
The Svord also has and adjustable pivot, while this may make it slightly harder to open it would also reduce the likelihood of it closing too easily.
just a thought.
