Hi Allen,
Chris Reeve created and popularized the lock you are referring to. I purchased one of his "Lock 45", the "First Frame-Lock" 30 years ago.
At Spyderco, we've been refering to the "Frame-Lock" as a "RIL" or Reeve (style) Integral Lock. We feel that we could at least give the man credit for his creation.
Just a thought to share.
