Is the main blade a locking blade?

Unfortunately, it is not. However, this Swiss knife is very useful and the main blade of the knife is firm when peeling an orange for example. If you need strictly a Swiss knife with a locking blade then you could try the rescue Swiss knife. I own that one too, and it does have a locking blade.

Hello - This is a very nice piece but no, the main blade does not lock. I like mine so well I bought a second for myself and have given a third as a gift. Happy Holidays

No. It does not lock.I wok in teh jungle with expeditions. This is FAR the best knife ever! The multipurpose tools are amazing. If you are looking for fixing or building things improvising this is the best tool! It is good to you depending on what are you going to do with it.

My husband bought this knife. He said "no". The blade will snap into the open position, but it does not "lock" like a traditional lock-blade knife does. Hope this helps.

No it is only sprung. If it had a locking mechanism it would be illegal to carry one in a public place in the UK without a valid reason.

Sadly no. It snaps into place and is great for things like whittling wood, and general knife-use tasks, but if you require a true locked blade, this won't be it. Hope this helps. J.

I believe the blade is keyed but you will have to look at a spare blade to be sure

The blade does not go all the way back in (the last section is about 5 inches and stays extended all the time and the other pieces telescope into it). There is no lock that I can find so if you tip it the sections come back out

No they don't. You have to open the tool to use blade. But it do have lock.

Yes, it has a lock on it to prevent it from opening. A very good knife, especially for the money.

yes. the knife has the regular piece of metal that set behind the blade once it is opened. on mine it locks half way if you open it slowly but if you open it halfway and then swing it it will lock all the way by it self.

The knife has a liner lock. Here is detailed information on knife locking systems: http://www.knife-depot.com/blog/a-guide-to-the-types-of-knife-locking-systems/

No, it does not. Check out the SOG Flash II for a similar knife with a locking feature.

Picture is diseeving. It's the handle that turns the blade and locks its angle

No. it locks in place. You have to squeeze the handle, depress the lock button, then let the handle go and the blade will retrack. Not having the blade lock would be a hindrance to usage. For you would have to remember to keep the handle squeezed.

Yes. It locks quite well. There is a lock release just below the blade on the inner portion of the knife when you want to close it.

Yes it locks in place and does have a safety, however the first blade I ordered blade won't flip out and in a result of that I had to buy a whole new knife because the previous one has broke.

There is no additional safety mechanism beyond the frame lock itself. I have never had an issue with the blade unlocking even inadvertently however, even under high pressure. The locking arm extends further behind the blade than many of my other folders and is an extremely safe design.

There is a ridged thumb lock you slide over at the base of the blade. I like that it has slight stop to it when flipping the blade closed.

Very carefully, really when you push the locking mechanism to the side I just close the blade slightly to keep the lock out of the way then with other hand close the blade. I'm sure you are doing the same. They should have a design with a button on the outside.

It is a lock open safety only, and a dual lock to close. The knife opens very easily. ......best knife I've ever owned!

Yes, the blade does lock in place, and the spring assist works great. Overall, it's a great knife.
