Well some of my folders are lock backs, I've recently bought four liner lock folders a Rat 1 and 2, and two Chinese folders. I do check the folders I buy to see if they are safe, I put on the welding gloves and wack the spine of blade on the edge of a wood bench, I then do a stab test. So far these liner lock folders seem sound, so why are some so opposed to liner lock folders?
I don't mean to stir the pot but I haven't found a issue YET with my recently aquired liner lock folders.
I guess if I needed a battle ready folding knife the liner lock would be inferior to other designs, but then I would rather have a fixed blade. I just like a good safe usable folding pocket knife.
Heck a lot of my folders don't even have locks.
Thanks.
