A folding knife with user selectable knife locking mechanism is disclosed. The knife locking mechanism is selectable between a frictional lock mode and a frame lock mode. The frictional lock mode retains an extended blade of the folding knife with a frictional interference to limit the blade from inadvertent retraction. The frame lock mode prevents the extended blade from being retracted into the main body. A tension piece is resiliently moveable to selectively protrude within the interior cavity. A lock mode selector slide is movably carried on the tension piece and is operable to select between the friction lock mode and the frame lock mode.
A knife, comprising:
A locking mechanism for a knife having a main body frame, a proximal end, a distal end, and an interior cavity, the main body frame adapted to pivotally carry a blade moveable between a stowed position and an extended position, the locking mechanism comprising:
