A liner lock pocket knife uses the metal liner that supports the handle as a leaf spring to lock the knife. When the blade is opened, a portion of the liner flexes over and clicks into place against the tang of the blade. This type of lock can be closed using one hand by pushing the liner out of the way with your thumb and slowly closing the blade with your index finger.Custom knifemaker Michael Walker is credited with refining and popularizing the modern version of the liner lock mechanism that is used across the entire industry today.
