Yeah, looks like it. Blade is going to try to pivot around, well, the pivot, or shear through it, and the front stop pin is going to take the impact.
Shark Lock might be better in a way, because the stop pin is larger than in the Atlas Lock.
Heh. At the risk of pissing off everybody, the Shark Lock functions very similar to the AXIS Lock. Though the Shark has more blade-to-pin surface contact.
I'm fascinated by "strong" locks, but my fascination is mathematical, clinical, interested in applying numbers and science to the quest to make stronger locking mechanisms, and I wonder where I start annoying enthusiasts by asking "yes, but what do the numbers mean?"
