Lockbacks aren't hard to close.

I recently had the lock on my lockback enura 4 fail on me. Cut my finger pretty bad. I can't really identify the problem. I've taken it apart and put it back together but still, it closes without pushing down on the lock, with enough tension. Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

[gonfley]

ya a delica sure with a thumb hole try one that only kas one nail clip serration those ones are an ass cap to open and close,virtually imposible.

[tmhurley27]

I don't whine about lockbacks being hard to close, but I do find linerlocks a bit smoother. That being said, I like the way the linerlocks close up, although something like the LAWKS system on CRKT is pretty good.

[DaRealRincewind]

Well, i'm not so much a fan of linerlocks. Lockbacks are the way to go.

But You are a little bit slow in closing, i close mine in one sweep while packing it back in teh pocket. Just get your finger out of the way of the blade, actuate the lock and one quick move of your wrist closes the knife.

Fast n simple.

I hear some system of the down. Spyderco = Awesome

[FkeSpydrFly]

i luv the fully ser.

iknow it looks deadly

[sohanlon10]

Some people have bad experiance with lockbacks because they buy cheap chinese models that have very stiff mechanisms because the parts don't fit well. If it is a well made knife there is no problem.

[WongKonPow]

well, generally linerlocks are faster, but in the end it's all about developing a technique and practicing.

[glockfire]

MMM, fully serrated Delica? I learned how to close my Spydercos from this vid.

[Jager1988]

Exactly how you close a lockback ... I can close mine without looking while im motioning to put it back into my pocket...

BTW, be careful with bare feet! lol

[1charliejf]

well lock backs arent hard too close if its a good quality knife, but they have a high failure rate.

[LordSpyderco]

Lol, the only lock backs can fail without damaging the lock is if they have something in it that blocks the bar from seating properly. Lock backs can't really "slip" as liner locks can.

[holdenccc]

Check out my new videos :)

[holdenccc]

Nice vids man. I'm looking to get Centafonte and Native, this one is fine too. I prefere liner lock:) What's with this passion about knives? I started 3 months ago and I have 7 of them, one of every good brand.

[LordSpyderco]

*shrug* I'm a knife knut. It's what I do.

[holdenccc]

That's what I meant. I just can't wait for my Civilian to arrive.

[LordSpyderco]

Just be careful with those Civis, the tip wouldm't hold up to much EDC work.

[holdenccc]

Ya. I'll use it only for what it's designed. Hopping never. Kershaw Cyclone and Needs work will come this way to do the daily work. Then some Spydies. See ya.

[AkiraChan24]

that knife looks like it could easely glide through butter XD

[GassyBastard]

I agree, but Axis just feels much more natural.

[GassyBastard]

It ain't impossible to close lockbacks single-handed but they are way too slow compared to Benchmade's Axis Lock. BTW, I'm a huge spydie fan.

[LordSpyderco]

I don't know about you, but I very rarely need to close a folder at that speed, open, maybe but close?

I can see what you mean, though. Axis locks are fun to play with.

[itxploded]

great song in the background

[LordSpyderco]

lol, thanks.

[kyanz43]

i have no problems at all with my lockback delica either

[AkiraChan24]

please be careful. I don't wanna look at your collection of films and see you cutting off your hand :-(

[LordSpyderco]

Hey Erin, don't worry, I'll be fine. But if I DID cut off my hand with my Spyderco, I'll be sure to post it on Youtube.

[LordSpyderco]

BTW, guys, I'm not saying that lockbacks are "better" then other locks, I'm simply saying that it's not as hard to operate backlocks as some people make it seem.

[VicariousReality7]

It hurts if you operate the mechanism alot.

[LordSpyderco]

No more then a liner lock,or most other locks if built properly.

[LordSpyderco]

Hey, Mr.balisongnet, fancy seeing you here. ;-)

Which locks do you like better?

[balisongnet]

lockbacks aren't so hard to break either haha

[LordSpyderco]

Hey Eversing, this way of closing is a bit easier using Spydercos, because they generally have large ricasso/kick or a choil. On the D4 it's very easy to close this way, feels quite natural.

[Eversing]

I like how you stop the blade at the ricasso with your finger. I guess that's how it should be done but I still get a bad feeling from doing that haha. If I tried this with a buck 110 I know I'd get cut, but that's becasue it's backlock/backspring. Nice vid btw.

[LordSpyderco]

Yep, very easy.

[smenezes73]

Very easy!
