Compression Lock Design
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has a design sketch of a compression lock? I've been searching the net for over an hour and can't seem to understand how it works exactly. I've seen the images on the Syderco website, but they are pretty small. Any info is greaty appreciated . Thanks |

If you have a patent number or other detailed information, you might be able to find it here:

never heard of compresion lock before, looks very cool though, i would think that an acidental closing would be virtually imposible. looks like a simpler version of a liner lock, no detent needed either.

How do you work the lock?

not sure but i would suspect that the little rectangle bit that sticks out the top would be out the top of the handle for you to push aside.

Yes, that's indeed how it works. The nice thing about this is that you can close it without the blade coming anywhere near your fingers if you do it the correct way.

it is a great lock, it works like the linerlock only upside down.

It looks to me like the lock spring would hit the stop pin and keep it from working.????

Thats what I thought. could it be the photo angle? ie the spring looks wider than it is?
Looks like a spyderco knife, I wonder if they have it patented/copywrited/ etc, so we couldn't use it? G. __________________ http://ak-adventurer.net/ Gary Blessing, Ex-custom knife maker, Ex-Folder modifier & embelisher. |
