Venom New Concept - lockbar with secondary lock

[PURPLEDC]

To me its like saying there is no locking knife unless it requires a combination or a key to operate. Oh well. I still love my knives with temporarily obstructed closing mechanisms.

Matters in life are rarely as black and white as we might like them to be.

Agreed.

If you took apart a Tri-Ad lock then you should have seen that negative pressure on the blade does not compress the spring. Negative blade pressure on a frame-spring or a liner-spring does compress the spring.

If I place a brick to hold a door open, it is both a brick and a doorstop. Similarly, the lock bar on a framelock is both a spring, and the lock.

If you're unwilling to rely on a spring, you're going to have a difficult time finding a locking mechanism you like. I just took apart a tri-ad lock knife this morning, and it most definitely included a spring that keeps the lock bar engaged, for example.

I would like to get a purple/blue anodized one and try two toning it.

Does it really matter? We dont need to dissect every piece of terminology and split hairs so fine it requires special epuipment to see the point. You think a frame lock isnt a lock. Great. The sky isnt really blue and washers are just another form of bearing. At the end of the days all are just arguments for the sake of arguing.
