Collection: Liner Lock Knives

Discover the enduring popularity and dependable security of our Liner Lock knives collection at Blade Forge. As one of the most widely used and proven locking mechanisms in the world of folding knives, the Liner Lock offers a perfect balance of secure blade retention, smooth one-handed operation, and a slim, efficient design. For knife users across Australia who value consistent performance and straightforward reliability, a Liner Lock knife is an excellent and practical choice.

How the Liner Lock Works: Simple, Effective Security
The Liner Lock is a clever and effective mechanism. Within the knife's handle, a tensioned metal liner (typically steel or titanium) is strategically cut and bent to form a spring. When the blade is opened, this liner springs inward, camming over and wedging against the tang (the rear portion) of the blade. This creates a secure stop, preventing the blade from accidentally closing during use. To close the knife, you simply push the liner to the side, disengaging it from the blade tang.

This design is popular because it offers:

• Positive Lock-Up: A well-executed Liner Lock provides a distinct "snap" as the blade locks open, giving you clear tactile and audible feedback of its secure position.
• Smooth One-Handed Operation: It's inherently easy to open and close with a single hand, making it highly convenient for everyday tasks.
• Slim Profile: The design of the Liner Lock often allows for thinner handle constructions, contributing to a more comfortable and discreet carry in your pocket.
