Just a quick mention of other kinds of knife locks.
Frame lock. A frame lock is just like a liner lock, except instead of the piece of metal being inside the handles, it is part of the handles. The handles are made of titanium, usually, replacing the need for both handles and liners. Chris Reeve knives is known for popularizing this lock with the excellent Sebenza.
AXIS lock. With an AXIS lock, a spring loaded bar going across and behind the blade is able to drop into a notch when the blade is fully opened. It is then pulled back to disengage and close the blade. This is a very strong lock, and also lefty friendly.
