Abstract:
A locking folding knife includes a handle; a blade pivotally coupled to the handle, and moveable between a closed position and an open position; and a locking device movable between a locked position and an unlocked position along an axis generally perpendicular to a plane defined by the blade. A tang of the blade has a substantially planar locking surface, and the locking device has a corresponding substantially planar blade engagement surface. The locking device secures the blade in the open position when the locking device is in the locked position, the substantially planar blade engagement surface being abutted with the substantially planar locking surface. The locking also comprises an offset post providing the additional advantage of design flexibility.

Claim (Index 2):
The locking folding knife as recited in  claim 1 , wherein:\n said substantially planar blade engagement surface comprises a first beveled portion; and said substantially planar locking surface comprises a second beveled surface, said second beveled surface corresponding to said first beveled surface.
