Frame-Lock Dragon

The Rocket Handmade Knives heavy-duty Dragon tactical folding knife with the reverse-curve blade and an integral liner lock that is part of the frame. This locking system is thought to be the best locking system available for a locking folding knife. 
The sexy reverse-curve blade not only has great eye appeal, but some think that the reverse-curve properties allows the blade to cut 
quicker and more surely.

Below are a few examples of this very  popular model. 
Note that most any Rocket Knives folder can be made as a frame lock.
