I recently read in a knife rag that the Mini Manix has had its lockback redesigned internally to perform much better. The new lockback was called a "ball lock, lockback", not to be confused with the ball bearing lock. IIRC the rag stated it heldup with something like 1000lbs on the back of the blade without failure. I guess my question is.... have the other lockbacks undergone the same lock change such as the Fullsize Manix and the Chinook 2? If not are there plans to? Thanks guys and gals. PGH~
 
I think it was a tipo in (maybe) TK, it was previously explained on Spyderco forum.
 
It was an entire article so I doubt it was a simple typo, but I will post over in the Spyderco forum to see if I can get a heads up over there. Thanks PGH~
 
It was in fact a mistake. The writer had two different models that he was reviewing and kind of combined the two in that article. Joyce is aware of it and we've contacted the appropriate folks for a correction. :)

So,
 
No, I'm sorry, there is not. Just an honest mistake from the writer.

Wow just straight misinformation. I'm just kinda speechless on how something like that could happen. Honest mistake or not the editing process should be re-evaluated to at least double check sources on the information that is set to print. PGH~
