Mid-lock pocket knives

Central Lockback System

The central lockback system is a proven technology that ensures optimal safety and ease of use. This mechanism provides a secure locking system for the blade when open, preventing any risk of accidental closure during use. The precision mechanism of the Le Thiers® knife is exceptionally smooth, yet it offers a strong and perfectly locked blade when open, ensuring safe and reliable handling.  In this collection, you will find knife models such as Le Thiers® Advance RWL34, featuring a RWL34 steel blade, Le Thiers® Advance VG10, equipped with a Suminagashi VG10 steel blade, and Le Thiers® Advance Damascus, a prestigious version with a Damascus steel blade.
