They just got a "hole" lot better. Both the Pika II and the Mini-Pika II have been retooled, and reengineered to raise the bar on the Red Class. We decided to step up the design and function by adding the triple-grip pattern, ambidextrous round thumb-hole openers along with multiple carry-clip locations. Welcome to the next generation.

LOCK BACK
A basic functional lock that is relatively simple and low cost to manufacture. In practice the lock design positions a stop bar parallel to and in direct line with the blade at the upper back or rear tang of the blade to lock the blade open. Basically, as the blade is rotated open, the spring tensioned, center pivoted stop bar tracks around the circular portion of the blade tang until it drops or locks into the notched out tang. And to release the lock, the exposed portion of the stop bar in the handle back is depressed into the handle, pivoting the stop bar out, releasing the locked blade. This style of locking mechanism requires two hands to safely close the blade although you may still easily open the blade single-handed if desired. |
