this knife design is cool, but I can't help but wonder how stable the lock is when the knife is gripped hard. I think this is a "gentlemans" knife which wouldn't see hard use, but it just looks like a gorilla grip on the knife would result in unlocking the knife. The boyd dent in mid locks and extra strong springs try and prevent this on more conventional lock backs, but in this knife the lock can't hide behind or below the handle scales.
