No safety lock?

AngryDropNot all Speedsafe knives have locks. The Blur and ZT 0350 do not have the opening safety the Leek and others have. The 0350/0360 also has a larger flipper compared to the Leek. I carry an 0360 often and have never had a problem. I've infrequently carried a Leek, always unlocked, and the only trouble I had was I once dropped it on to the flipper and it launched itself across the room. The 0350/360, and this one, have more or a switch feometry to the flipper and the Leek is more button like. So this design should be safer and not need the extra lock.

AngryDropI've used my Oso for years and never had an unintended opening or close call. With these the blade point is up and for us righties it comes defaulted to where your pocket also helps hold the blade in place. Didn't check if this one is reversible/configurable on the pocket clip... Were this tip down and not configurable I would be concerned...

AngryDropI bought a Leek last July and a few months later the lock broke, the actual lock piece is plastic. This is with just daily carry absolutely no heavy use. I must say the knife stays pretty well closed but I do carry it tip up against the inside of my pocket.
