These are some of the top frame lock knives available, along with some of their specific features and advantages.

Frame lock knives are similar to their cousins, the liner lock. However, the difference with a frame lock knife is that, with frame locks, a whole portion of the frame moves to lock the blade in place. This creates great security and aids in holding the blade in place by enhancing the natural support you provide with your hand.

Using a frame lock knife has the advantages that include additional security, one-hand open and close, reliability and easy cleaning. For these reasons, many knife users look for a frame lock knife for sale online when choosing their everyday carry.

Below are some of the top frame lock knives available, along with some of their specific features and advantages.
