This type of Button Lock folder is very solid and easy to handle and requires hardly any maintenance. Thanks to its smooth push-button, nobody will break their fingernails when opening it. It locks both open and closed. My folder is easy to manage for left-handers also. However on request, a special version for left-handers can be made.

My button-locks are fitted with a safety to prevent them from opening in your pocket, should the button receive pressure inadvertently.  All my Button Locks feature an adjustment screw for the blade.
