Locking Knives

"LOCK--EM--UP!"

A place to show off all those knives that lock.

Starting this off with a real classic.
This little knife is one that I really enjoy carring in my watch pocket.

The Schrade LB-1

I just had a week of carrying Lockbacks.

Here is my favorite. It is a prewar Remington R1306. Amazing how well the stag is considering how much blade loss.

Here are 2 that have less common locking mechanisms. The first 3 pics are an A.G. Russell folding hunter with a bolster lock. The last picture is a Weidmannsheil jack with an internal locking mechanism that requires one to push down on the pen blade (in the closed position) to unlock the primary blade.

These Klein kickbacks are made by Moki, and are really underrated and underpricex for what they are--a light, tough working knife.

Steel is AUS-8.

They're black, thus easily lost. I keep a blaze orange British-made Acme 636 whistle on there for that reason. And it's good practice, in my mind to have a whistle handy at all times.

I have never seen one of those before. Never even knew they existed. Very nice.

Here's a KA-BAR.

Here is a Boker locking knife.

jmh58 · Post by **jmh58** » Mon Jan 31, 2022 6:20 pm

Some more Bolster locks!!

jmh58 · Post by **jmh58** » Mon Jan 31, 2022 6:22 pm

One more.

TPK · Post by **TPK** » Mon Jan 31, 2022 6:25 pm

Great stuff gentlemen!

That Ka-Bar is cool! Now I can also see how a lock back knife actually locks & unlocks.

Thanks for sharing!

Pivot lock. Gerber Paul.

I think Charlie said Robeson was the first to use a bolster lock, maybe on a Tickler pattern. I think they're cool too.
