While i do realize that the thickness of the liner lock isnt the ONLY thing that matters, i do believe thickness to be important. So, my question is, what is the thickest liner lock you have seen or heard of? Im more interested in the thickness of liner locks than frame locks, we all know that a frame lock is always thicker than a liner lock, though it might also be instructive to hear about them as well. For example, how thick is the Sebenza frame lock? Mayo TNT? (For those of you who are new, the Sebenza is the horrible, dangerous knife that is riddled with flaws that nobody should ever buy, even for $50.
)
I know that Mick Strider says the liner on the AR folder is .10" thick, and thats pretty thick, i even read a post on another forum from a custom knifemaker who made a folder he called affectionately "The Beast" that had a liner that was .125" thick. The Microtech LCC has a pretty thick liner lock, anybody know its thickness?
So, id be interested to hear about knives with thick liner locks, measurements if you have them, and even the thickness of your favorite frame lock. Hey, if you happen to have a pic of the liner lock engaging the blade, id love to see it too.
I must admite that i prefer frame locks simply because of the super thick lock and the increased engagement. I have also seen some pretty pathetic liner locks out there, some were paper thin.
