Which folding knife locking mechanism is least likely to be accidentally released?

To be honest, the only knife I've ever had the lock completely fail on was a CRKT M16-12Z. I think you'll be ok unless you do something the knife is not designed to do.

What is the story behind the CRKT M16 failure?

Lock failures? I would think that a Bali-Song would be one of the strongest and least likely to fail. A frame lock would be pretty high on the list, at least I would think it would be.

Bali first, tri-ad second. rest aren't bad either. more so on how you hold and use them, than the lock on it's own failing.

Agreed.

I was recently looking at my CRKT and thinking it would be pretty safe with the secondary lock and all.
