（不是名厂Frost ，而是一个小品牌。）
线锁无疑是最常见的折刀锁定方式，制作难度较小，但相对更易意外解锁。为解决这个难题，CR 或Terzuola发明了框架锁。框架锁的意外解锁概率显然低于线锁，但也不是百分百保险。于是人们又发明了类似于钢狮的Rotoblock保险锁，终于使折刀获得了近似于直刀的安全性。而传统的线锁由于外贴片的存在，无法设计出类似于钢狮这种锁定。那么，有没有解决之道？答案是：有！一种巧妙的安全锁定方式早已被发明出来--LAWKS：Lake and Walker Knife Safety system。维基百科有介绍：https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LAWKS 发明人是著名刀匠Ron Lake and Michale Waiker ，两个如雷贯耳的名字。专利号：U.S. Patent No 5,596,808。看文字描述，原理并不复杂：“The original LAWKS mechanism consists of a switch on the handle of the knife, connected to the liner lock. When pulled back, the liner lock can easily be pushed back to close the knife. But when the safety switch is pushed forward, it acts as an extra lock ensuring the linerlock can not be used to close the knife, making the folding knife a virtual fixed-blade tool.”专利相当古老---1995年，已被CRKT Gerber等多家刀厂应用。专利介绍：http://www.patents.com/us-5596808.html
2001 年，美国设计师Matt Foster把这个专利应用到了他创立的刀具品牌---Foster Knives的折刀上。Matt Foster 是一位运动枪械制造厂的工程师，此前曾就职于著名的Gerber 刀厂，在枪械和刀具设计方面颇具天赋。"Matt Foster has spent his entire career working in the sporting goods and shooting sports industry.His professional experience with knives and design began at Gerber Legendary Blades.Noticing that there was a market niche not being served by existing makers and designers, he taught himself to design and make his own brand of knives.Experience gained from designing his own knives led him to design and create other products relevant to his career: scope mounts, shotguun stocks,guun cleaning equipment and firearms accessories."
装备LAWKS 系统的折刀设计完成后，他委托著名运动枪械瞄具底座生产商--Warne Scopes 公司来量产他的设计。Warne Scopes公司的创始人是John Llewellyn Warne（Jack Warne），生于澳大利亚，后期移居美国，在世界运动枪械领域享有盛名。关于这个公司的故事，可以查看：http://warnescopemounts.com/
近日，搞到一把Foster的LAWKS折刀：
