Back-Lock ![The old school lock; for the classy gentleman. Backlock (or: Lockback, Back-Lock, Spinelock) is the mechanism in certain lockable pocketknives. The handle of a Lockback knife contains a mechanism that allows the blade to be locked in place and then unlocked again. The blade of a Lockback knife also has a small notch on the end of the tang. Lockbacks are by design totally ambidextrous – since actuation of the lock is done along the spine, they don't favor one hand over the other. They are also generally very strong – the lock bar is a lot thicker than a typical liner lock, being the same width as the blade stock itself. [Detailed Info]: At their core, backlocks are simply a derivative of the non-locking slipjoint. The lock bar is pinned to the scales of the blade, pivoting in the middle, and a bent spring anchored further back in handle provides upward pressure behind the pivot point, pressing the front of the lock bar downward. In the closed position, the lock bar sits on a ramp in the bottom of the tang which provides a detent for opening. When the blade is opened, the forward portion of the lock bar with its square protusion sits down into a matching square cutout on the top of the blade tang, locking it into position. The cutout on the tang matching the shape of the lock bar means that the lock bar has to be lifted out of the notch to release the blade. The spring bar thus keeps the lock closed until the bar is pressed from behind the pivot point against the spring tension opening the knife.](https://duncansgunmakers.co.uk/catalog/media/info_icon.png) |

Description:
The Viper Rhino 1 is a large pocket knife that feels remarkably comfortable in hand. It was designed by Fabrizio Silvestrelli. What immediately stands out, besides the size of the knife, is the blade, as it combines different shapes and features a cool compound grind. When opened, the blade is locked by a solid back lock. The heavily modified sheepsfoot shape of the blade slopes up a bit. In doing so, the protrusion on the spine of the blade clearly shows where the name Rhino comes from.
The handle is ergonomically shaped. It feels great in hand for both larger hands and smaller hands. Thanks to the jimping on the spine of the handle, you have a lot of grip on the knife during use. The rounded spring and liners ensure that no sharp patch can be found on the handle. The blade is made from Elmax. This is a type of powder steel from Austria known for its all-round good properties. It is stainless, retains its sharpness well, can handle its own and is easy to sharpen.
The Rhino 1 has a relatively large, solid pocket clip, so it's easy to carry this knife with you, in spite of its size.
