Don't know about security, I'm just not coordinated enough to use a liner lock without doing eventual damage to my thumb. My current favorite is the Benchmade axis lock. I like being able to close a knife one handed as easily as I can open it.

I am expecting this in the mail shortly - a Boker Pocket Bowie:

It should fit nicely in my Adirondack Pocket Sheath.

On the CRKT the lower guard stud will close on your thumb before the blade does.

I've tested it many times.

Are you sure a small fixed-blade knife wouldn't serve you better?

Good thought. There are lots of "neck" knives out there that might work: Becker Necker, Esee Izula, to name a couple of popular ones.

Security? What the heck are you doing with it that has you that concerned? I abuse the heck out of my knives which spend 12 to 18 hours a day in my pocket. I cut heavy gauge cardboard and numerous other packing materials on a daily basis. I cut twine and plastic strapping on a regular basis. I use them as screwdrivers and pry bars like I know I should not on at least a weekly basis. I slice up an apple at lunch ever day or so, heck I have even deburred both steel and aluminum parts off the production floor on a fairly regular basis. I have never felt that my CRKT or Kershaw liner lock knives were any less secure, stable, or safe than a similar lockback or rolling lock style folding knife. Never had one become unlocked through either misuse or failure of the mechanism.

I agree as a utility knife they are fine but I am looking for a tac knife very different uses. As far as a neck knife goes they are limited by wardrobe and can be hard to draw in the wrong situation. Also with a pocket folder you can always make the claim that it is a utility knife, thats not so easy in the case case with a neck knife.

I am leaning toward the Benchmade but wanted to get some other opinions first

You must be a 1%er of knife use then. I have had tactical knives with a liner lock for years, probably 15 or so years and put them through a lot of abuse and never had a failure. Sounds like you DO need a small fixed blade.

I love my benchmade, I have the mini-barrage, it's easily the best knife I've owned.
