The Busse BLOCK Lock Is The Strongest Folding Knife Lock Mechanism In The World ! ! ! . . . Check It Out ! ! !
The next strongest folding knife lock mechanism that we could find from any other maker on the internet, held a truly impressive 540 lbs. at 4 inches from the pivot!
We used the specs of the other maker's knife that held 540 lbs and built one of our GT models to be as close as possible to the same size for a fair comparison.
Ours is, however, made with a much thinner blade, and we call it the GT40 Magnum.
The Busse GT40 Magnum, held 1,260 lbs. at 4 inches from the pivot. (That's 720 lbs. more than the other maker's lock)
The Busse Block Lock GT40 suffered no lock failure or breakage and was fully functional after the test with secure lock-up and NO Blade play.
