After reading about the new ZDP Leek - which gets my heart pumping - and all the interesting threads regarding such a knife, I thought to myself, what about a SpecBump in ZDP? Maybe this has already been thought of, maybe not, but I was already saving for the S30V Leek, and SpecBump S30V as well.
So, I might as well save for the creme of the crop of both right? What do you guys think?

P.S. Also... I hear about framelock and linerlock... I thought I had them down, but can someone give me a link to explain the two again? Thanks...
 
Framelocks lock with the frame acting as the handle and has a lockbar tab. Linerlocks are built where the liner and handle are seperate pieces and the liner has the lockbar tab.
More confusing would be what to call a framelock with a handle material over it. Does that make it back into a linerlock? Am I missing something? :D
 
The framelock is stronger. Both has the same basic principle, but a framelock has a lot more meat behind the design. As you squeeze a liner lock is it possible to unlock the knife. A framelock only gets stronger with a tight grip.

I guess when you put a handle material over a framelock it becomes a linerlock as it is not the frame locking it anymore. Just a really thick linerlock!!I have a Wilkins liner lock thta is almost as thick as a framelock.:thumbup:
