Would they say it if it wasn't true?
The question of "what is the strongest locking mechanism" comes up occationally in the general forum. While some suggest the liner lock and others the rolling lock and some Benchmade's new Axis lock, I alway win when I play the trump card, the balisong. How can this lock fail short of breaking a solid bar of metal? A well-made balisong locked open is virtually as strong as a full-tang fixed-blade knife.
Think W!
