What Lock Type Is Predominate in Your Spydie Collection?

[Pockets]

Four lock backs, one fixed blade, one liner lock. I got started with FRN Spydie's, which explains it.

At the moment I have 3 comp lock para 2's, 1 midback Native 5 and 2 fixed blades.

Back/Mid locks predominately, next is liner locks, then compresion locks, then ball locks.

I am prettly comfortable with any lock spyderco puts out so is not my primary decision criteria. That being said, the compresion lock would be my first choice.

Back locks - my favorite by far, too. Hate liner locks.

2 Fixed Blades
2 RILs
3 Compression
1 Slipit
2 Liner Locks

[zinczinc]

1 compression lock - para2
1 liner lock - Cat
1 frame lock - techno
1 lock back - dragonfly2 g10

lock back is just not my cup of tea

[jon1all]

2 frame lock (RIL)
2 lock backs (unless you count byrd knives as well, then add 3 more)
1 comp lock
1 caged BB lock

I used to have many more comp locks (ie, Para2s), but sold off all but one. Clearly I need to regenerate my Spydie inventory. :)

I like the back locks as well because they make for a really good looking knife and like you're getting more for your money. However my choice is the liner locks and frame locks because they're much easier to release.I don't care for the caged ball lock and I hate the compression lock.

Backlock 59
Linerlock 26
Framelock 15
Compressionlock 13
Slipjoint 11
Ball-lock 3
Phantom Lock 3
Springlock 2
Balisong 1
Bolt Action lock 1
Rare Earth Magnet 1
Triggerlock 1

Mid/Back lock, but seen this is the prevailant lock at Spyderco this is normal. In my complete collection this is somewhat less but still the largest. So 43% of my Spydercos are Backlocks, 33% of all my knives are backlocks :)

Locks for all my knives

2/3 back / mid locks and 1/3 everything else. EDC back locks only.
With exception of SAK I carried only back locks.

What is springlock? :confused:

The lock on the Q is refered to as spring lock

...not including blade edge variations and handle color variations. The spring lock is unique and patented, though not very reliable. The knife...
