Yes,the blade locks open.It opens quickly and is a great knife.I use it on a daily basis and would buy this knife again.The seatbelt cutter on it works great,I used it the other day and was surprised how well it worked.Very sturdy....hope this helped.

My knife does NOT have the lock bar insert that the newest knives apparently have, and don't need.

I would say yes even tho I've never tryed and no longer have it to confirm. Theirs a star like screw near the blade which I assume is used to tighten it but not sure. I like to add I did like the knife.

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.

It has a standard blade. 1 thing about the knife, there is a keeper that locks the blade in place.It doesn't stay locked. i wouldn't buy another Bessey.

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

Yes, the blade has a locking mechanism which needs to be depressed before knife will close. I always use two hands to close the knife.

Yes, when the blade is opened it is locked in place by a spring loaded tab that rests against the base of the blade. It is released by a side movement with the thumb, not too unique as many brands have this feature.

It's a liner lock. Hold the open knife in your hand and look down inside where the blade is attached to the handle and on the left is a piece of metal (liner) on the left that you push to the left with your thumb or forefinger to unlock the blade. But you need to close the blade while holding the lock open. Once you get that down you can unlock and close the blade with one hand. But watch your fingers!

Yes, the knife locks in the open position, the release in where the blade was, it is easy to open and close one handed while also the lock works exteremly well. This knife was my most trusted tools while on deployment, and was able to handle everything we through at it.

Should be a blade lock...Why are you changing the blade anyways?It should be sharp and brand new.

You have to follow the instructions on using the knife. The lock is there for safety. That said it's not "broken". Went through that too - who reads manuals right? :)

There is a thumb notch along the spine of the handle that you can flick, making the blade jump out quicker. However, on this knife, it doesn't flick out to a locking position like most other assisted open knives. Its still a good blade though.

There is a tiny switch behind the push bar to close it, That's a lock. Slide that little switch back towards the rear of the knife. the blade is probably locked

It's incredibly solid. The blade will not be deployed unless The thumb hole or release is deployed. The lock up is one of the strongest lock ups of the blades I own. I would definitely suggest this blade for any blade lover.

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.
