The 5 Best Value Lock Blade Knives A locking blade knife has the effect of creating a fixed blade knife until the blade locking bar is released. After releasing the locking bar, with the blade folded, the knife may be carried in a pocket or belt pouch. This is convenient for outdoor activities such as fishing, hiking, kayaking, bushcraft, survival, wood-carving etc. Blade Locking Mechanisms Several different locking mechanisms exist to hold the blade open in lock knives. The axis lock consists of a steel bar positioned between the handle liners, held on place by 2 small omega springs. With the blade open, the axis locking bar is in contact with the back of the blade tang, just in front of the the blade stop pin. The Enlan version uses particularly strong omega springs, giving a very secure blade lock. The frame-lock is a simpler design, using a pre-tensioned section of the steel handle as both a spring and blade-lock. Liner lock knives have a sprung section of the metal handle liner which locks the blade open. UK law requires a good reason to possess a lock knife in a public place, although there is no restriction on purchasing or owning lock knives. Occupational or trade purposes would be justification to possess a lock knife in public. In the UK, there are severe penalties in place for breaking the law on knives, all readers are encouraged to fully familiarise themselves with the law and not to rely wholly on this general information article. Further information can be found online on the UK Government Website.
