Does a folding knife lock prevent the blade from coming out when it’s folded or from coming in when its out? Or both?
Btw I’m not talking about those multi-tools or swiss army knives
I’m just asking because I’m going on a camping trip and my organization requires a folding knife that has a lock.
I have a folding knife but it only locks when it’s out (I think). Does that count?

Hi, yes it does. When they call a knife a locking blade, they are referring to it locking when the blade is open, so it won’t close on your fingers. But they do also make them that lock it both positions.
Have fun on your camping trip.
I think that’s it. All of them I’ve ever seen or owned have only locked when opened, to make sure they don’t accidentally close on your fingers when you’re working with it.
it prevents it from closing on u. if the knife is in good condition it shud not open by itself.
The lock is when open. This prevents the blade from folding and cutting you fingers when you hold and use it.
