Back lock pocket knife: one of the most famous locking mechanisms

The back lock, also known as the lockback, is a popular and robust locking mechanism used in many knives. The system works with a spring that spans across the back of the handle. When opened, it snaps behind the hinge point of the blade, firmly locking the blade. To unlock and close the blade, press the recess in the back of the handle. If this recess is in the middle of the handle, it is called a mid lock. The operating principle remains the same: simple, reliable and effective.

Features of a back lock

Advantages of the back lock

A key advantage of the back lock is the increased security. When closing, your fingers do not really get close to the blade, significantly reducing the risk of injury. In addition, the back lock offers a strong and durable lock, especially when the spring and the recess in the blade are correctly aligned. This lock is famous for its traditional style and reliability.

Maintenance: essential for safety

Keeping a back-lock knife clean is very important for safe operation. Dirt or dust between the spring and the blade can prevent the locking mechanism from closing correctly, which in rare cases can lead to the knife slamming shut unexpectedly. Regular cleaning and lubrication prevent this problem and extends the service life of the mechanism.

Why choose a back lock?

The back lock offers an excellent combination of simplicity, reliability and security. It is a timeless mechanism perfect for both everyday use and demanding tasks. Whether you are an experienced knife enthusiast or a beginner, the back lock remains a solid choice.
