Knives & Blades Of SteelFor The Knife & Blade Enthusiast

What is the difference between the linerlock, framelock, and have in lockback knives?

I have no idea what is particularly framelock. Is one better take than the other?

Linerlock has a piece in the center of the blade that holds the blade in fixed position. You have to leave this way in order to close the knife. Linerlock framelock is similar to that a piece of the knife is used to keep the blade down, in time here, however the current structure remains in place. (See Kershaw "onion") lockback folding blade is usually used a button to retract the blade.
