Thanked: 586Yea Tim, you're right. The lock is purely a safety feature. The first lock blade knife I owned was a Boy Scouts of America Whittling Knife. I had the BSA logo and a liner type lock on one of the blades so it wouldn't accidentally close down on the little scout's fingers.
To your second point, although I love a good switchblade (and I own more than a few), the Axis Lock on my Benchmade EDC gives me such control over the blade I can open and close it faster, much faster than the Foster automatic I opened this thread with.
