The Inner Workings of a Manix 2

I took apart my Manix 2 for some cleaning. I snapped a quick picture of the lock mechanism as I was putting it back together.

so, is that the same mechanism as in the Poliwog, but with a plastic "button" around the ball bearing?

Yep.

nice picture! looks like you got good lockup, that ball goes in there deep!

Thanks. It can be really hard to unlock, but I guess that means the lock isn't going to fail anytime soon.

I just bought one of these so i really appreciate the pics...i didn't know a thing about this lock design prior, so this is cool to see. Your ball certainly engages the blade deeper than mine does.
