How are the materials for the knives selected?

Buck Knives uses aluminum, Micarta, wood, steel, and more, to build high-quality knives that will last for generations. Materials are selected based on the knife’s intended use, ensuring you get the best-serving material in a purpose-built knife.

What is a locking mechanism, and what are the different kinds of locking mechanisms?
