What iI The Strongest Folding Knife Lockup?

[Kwon Kwang]

IMO, the opinel ring lock is one of the more RELIABLE locks. maybe not out and out stronger than a triad, but there's no chance of grime stuffing up the lock and it not engaging without you knowing. it's also less susceptible to both vertical and horizontal play compared to many other designs.

I like that you can also lock it closed. A great two handed knife if you're not looking for fast deployment. I'm glad I bought my Opinel. It gets used a lot.

the strongest? the one with two pivot pins, the balisong. almost impossible to close on your hand. main risk is slipping onto the blade.

I'm surprised nobody has said "balisong". Balisongs have the strongest lockup of any knife.
