What Makes This Different

The PLB5 features a pivot lock system that provides secure blade lockup while maintaining smooth one-handed operation. Unlike basic friction folders, this knife incorporates a positive locking mechanism that prevents accidental blade closure during use.

Multiple grip positions accommodate different cutting angles without hand fatigue during extended use sessions.
