Lock Type : |
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 Böker Plus Genios is a compact and light-weight gentleman's knife. It is remarkable and modest at the same time. It is also the resulf of the wharncliffe-shaped blade. When they see it many people often associate it with a classic, straight razor. You also clearly recognize designer traces of the famous 'swayback' design from the traditionals.
Böker designed the Genios as a two-handed opener. However, after some practice you can also easily open it with one hand. When opened the blade is locked by a backlock. As such the blade won't close when you don't want it to. The handle is made from titanium and contains a carbon fibre inlay. A stunning design, made from light-weight materials. The blade is enhanced with a thin hollow grind which shows off the stainless VG10 steel to its best advantage. It is amazing to use.
Especially as a light-weight gentleman's knife for daily use. With a 7.6 cm blade you have enough to peel an apple, but it is still also compact and slim enough to never be too intimidating. A genius design, the Böker Genios.
