Today, we'll spend some time talking about a variety of folding pocketknife locking mechanisms, then talk about their strengths, weaknesses, and finally I'll share what can make them the best for you, and which mechanism is truly strongest.

- The Spyderco Ball bearing Lock (e.g. Manix 2): A lock similar to a sliding bar style lock, but using a ball bearing in a cage rather than a bar.
- The Steel Will Ant Lock (e.g. Steel Will Tasso): A knife-internal back-lock style lock, see this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vnNXioQVLY
