Earnest inquiry: Why would one ever opt for a slip joint over something with a locking mechanism? I've never understood foregoing (what in my mind is) a safety feature.

WutangClanLots of countries have knife laws that limit blade length, lock mechanism and/or deployment method. Also, slipjoints are really nice to keep in your pocket when wearing dress clothes. Normaly they don't have a pocket clip to keep the knife as clean as possible. IMO, this knife shouldn't have a pocket clip. Hope this helps ;)

StitchjonesI came to say something similar. Also, though this knife appears tactical/tacticool, many slip joints are not aggressive looking and therefore better in many social situations.
I own and carry locking blades, but as an office drone who goes camping and backpacking, my trusty Swiss Army Knife will do all the cutting I need.

StitchjonesThanks for the info... that's insane that countries even have the ability to limit your freedom on that scale. The dress clothes bit makes sense too. Thanks for your time!

WutangClanWell, there are some countries - like my native Germany - that forbid carrying knives that lock and can be opened with just one hand.
