...A good generic name for the "Axis Lock" type of lock.
You go searching for that specific lock type, and you just can't do it with one search term. Benchmade calls it the Axis Lock, (obviously). Hogue calls it the "Able Lock"...SOG calls it an "Arc-lock"...Boker the "Ambi-Lock"...James Brand the "Ambi-slider". (You get the idea...and I only got as far as the "A's". Who knows what lurks further down....).
If you look for a Frame lock, or liner lock, or slip joint, all possible variations and companies pop up. No weird searching required. So, I propose we need a completely generic term. They can call it anything they want in their literature...but we'll all know what they are talking about!
"Sliding Lock bar"? "Ambidextrous Lock"? "Two finger sliding lock thingy"? I don't care...
(Rant over).
