Ball Bearing Lock Knives
Ball Bearing Lock Knives deliver a remarkably smooth, high-fidget action powered by a spring-driven ball that wedges between the blade tang and stop pin. Invented and perfected as a proprietary lock mechanism by Spyderco, that single ball does double duty—ensuring a crisp, snappy detent when closed and a rock-solid lockup under load. It offers a completely ambidextrous, free-dropping release, with the Spyderco Manix serving as the flagship build.
