Button Lock Knives

A Button Lock (sometimes called a Plunge Lock) is a mechanism in some pocket knives that secures the blade open, preventing unintentional blade closure. It's safe to say that the Pro-Tech Malibu popularized the button lock, giving pocket knives with that lock type a reputation for being accessible and fun to fidget with. Button Locks are easily one of the best lock choices for new users and veterans alike. Browse below to find the one you love!
