Collection: Frame Lock Knives

Discover the pinnacle of secure blade deployment and robust construction with our collection of Frame Lock knives at Blade Forge. Widely regarded as one of the strongest and most reliable locking mechanisms in modern folding knives, the Frame Lock offers uncompromising safety and a direct, tactile feel that instills confidence in every cut. For knife users across Australia who demand a dependable blade that stands up to hard use, a Frame Lock knife is an outstanding choice.

How the Frame Lock Works: Simplicity Meets Strength
The Frame Lock is a brilliantly simple yet incredibly effective design. Unlike a Liner Lock, where a separate steel liner moves to secure the blade, the Frame Lock utilizes a cut-out section of the knife's handle frame itself. When the blade is opened, this thick piece of the frame springs inward, wedging against the tang (the rear part) of the blade to hold it firmly in the open position.

This design inherently provides superior strength because:

• Direct Frame Engagement: The lock bar is an integral part of the handle's robust frame, often made from strong materials like titanium or stainless steel. This direct engagement provides tremendous strength.
• Thicker Lock Bar: Frame locks typically feature a much thicker lock bar than liner locks, distributing force over a larger area and resisting deformation.
• Over-Travel Stop: Many Frame Lock designs incorporate an over-travel stop to prevent the lock bar from being pushed too far outwards when disengaging, which can damage the lock.

Why Choose a Frame Lock Knife?
Choosing a Frame Lock knife means opting for a tool that prioritizes security and durability:

• Exceptional Lock Strength: It's considered one of the most robust locking mechanisms available, making it ideal for heavier cutting tasks where blade security is paramount.
• Reliability: Due to its simple design and direct engagement, a well-executed Frame Lock is highly reliable and less prone to failure.
• Positive Lock-Up: You often get a very distinct and satisfying "snap" when the blade locks into place, giving immediate feedback of its secure position.
• Durability: Made from the same tough materials as the handle (e.g., titanium handles or steel handles), the lock mechanism itself is built to last.
• Ease of Disengagement: While incredibly secure, the Frame Lock is generally easy to disengage with one hand, allowing for smooth closing.
