A question for the folding lock-up folks . . .
Do you have strong feelings about the choice of locking mechanism used on a "practical" folder? Mechanisms I'm thinking about are backlock, frontlock, linerlock, etc.
Note : I'm am refering to the mechanism, not the strength of the mechanism.
Is it important to be able to close the blade without changing your grip (i.e. with a linerlock), or is the primary importance to be able to get the blade open easily and keep it open?
Regards, HILTON
