Does the blade lock in place?

The blades do not lock. When you carve smaller slivers are removed so the blade has less stress to close. Remember to use hand or thumb protection when pulling the blade toward yourself.

The blade of this knife does NOT lock, however when held naturally the steel protrusion you see in the picture of the folded knife is held down securely by your thumb.

You can lock the blade in place to install or change the blade. You can also, set the depth of the cut to suit the thickness of the material. This is very useful when doing a plunge cut into the material.

It does not have a "lock" persay but when it is closed it will not open unless you open it.the knife when opeed has that side clip on the inside to keep it open and that same side clip keeps it closed.

The blade only turns when the top is locked in place (you don't have to worry about little fingers getting stuck). Hope this helps.

yes, it has a locking blade and a razor sharp edge. It is also well balanced. You should have no problem.

Hello - This is a very nice piece but no, the main blade does not lock. I like mine so well I bought a second for myself and have given a third as a gift. Happy Holidays

My husband bought this knife. He said "no". The blade will snap into the open position, but it does not "lock" like a traditional lock-blade knife does. Hope this helps.

Yes. It locks quite well. There is a lock release just below the blade on the inner portion of the knife when you want to close it.

Yes is does, one finger extends the blade into locking position. For the price you get what you get but I like it.

Yes It stays In place. I have had mine for about a year and the blade still locks in as tightly as when I got it.

No, at first it is a little tough to do until it gets worn down, but if you turn the open blade towards yourself and look at the handle, there is a piece that is oblique in there. Push the top of that piece so it is straight up and when that piece is straight up you can close the blade. That is the locking system. Simple, but proven effective. It'll get easier and easier to close.

NOT that I have found. I've searched all over for a spare parts supplier, but it looks like you have to replace the whole thing or rig something up to counter the locking mecha. I just snipped the wire off that locks the blade in place. It still works if you just use the plastic locking pin from the blade to secure to the motor. Just the back guard falls off when you remove the blade.

From my recent experience with the removable blade, yes, they lock in very tight. I still would not recommend using these for dueling. They are display pieces.

Very carefully, really when you push the locking mechanism to the side I just close the blade slightly to keep the lock out of the way then with other hand close the blade. I'm sure you are doing the same. They should have a design with a button on the outside.

It's incredibly solid. The blade will not be deployed unless The thumb hole or release is deployed. The lock up is one of the strongest lock ups of the blades I own. I would definitely suggest this blade for any blade lover.
