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 knife industry loves acronyms, and one frequently seen is the term FRN. It means 'Fibreglass Reinforced Nylon', which is a plastic material used in manufacturing knife handles, because it’s lightweight, long wearing and not prohibitively expensive. One of the Byrd line’s cornerstone models, the Meadowlark is available for the first time with FRN handles.
The FRN Meadowlark has slip-free texture, deeply moulded into the plastic so it won’t slide or move around in the hand. Nested inside the handle are full-length steel liners, adding rigidity and strength without unnecessary weight, and also phosphor bronze bushing for smooth open/close action. The 8Cr13MoV stainless steel blade is hollow-ground with a comet shaped hole, so the folder opens and closes one-handedly.
On top of the blade’s spine is a series of crosshatchings the knife industry calls jimping. Jimping creates tactile resistance, gripping the thumb and keeping it in contact with the top of the blade while cutting. Features a 4-way pocket clip for left or right-handed, tip-up or tip-down carry.
The cut-out of the lock’s release is a safety feature called a David Boye Dent, allowing you to tightly grip the handle without fear of accidentally releasing the lock. Version 2 has an improved handle and the blade moves more smoothly.
