A picklock doesn't have a swivel bolster to disengage the lock so the paddle on the backspring has to be lifted, or picked up, using your thumbnail in order to unlock the blade. Most swing guards are called backlocks. The release is usually toward the back end of the knife much like a Buck 110 folding hunter. Pshing down on the back spring toward the rear of the knife lifts the locking cam out of a notch in the blade.
@xiuxiu1313 A swing guard has a guard that lays flat against the blade until the blade is engaged, then it rotates 90 degrees and lays across the top of the handle. Since the guard swings into place that's where the name comes from.
@xiuxiu1313 A Piklock is a model that you have to use your thumb to "pick" up the lock bar. Most old or vinage Italian stilettos were picklocks. Not as handy but some like the nostalgia. Most swing guards are backlocks. A backlock is like a Buck 110. The lock bar is on the bottom with a thumb indent toward the middle or end of the knife. Depresing the back bar releases the blade lock.

Nice vid. I do have a question. What is the definition of a "pick lock" is it always a swinguard? Sometimes a swinguard?
