Knife Country, USA

The linerlock mechanism is one of the most popular and trusted locking systems in modern folding knives. Known for its simplicity, strength, and ease of one-handed operation, the linerlock uses a side-spring lock that engages against the tang of the blade when opened. This design keeps the blade securely in place until intentionally released, making it a favorite for everyday carry, tactical use, and outdoor tasks.

At Knife Country USA, our wide selection of linerlock knives spans from affordable entry-level EDCs to high-performance models crafted with premium steels and handle materials. Whether you’re looking for a slim pocket companion or a large, heavy-duty cutting tool, you’ll find it here.
