Description

From designer Warren Osborne, the Proxy combines G10 and solid titanium in a monolock (frame lock) that brings a highly modern look and feel to the Benchmade lineup.

Monolock

The monolock mechanism is basically a locking-liner on steroids. The knife liner is one in the same as the knife handle and thus it is designed and made to function as the locking mechanism. Subsequently, a thicker material is used to provide enough surface area to be a functional handle and in turn creates a larger surface area to lock the blade with. If executed properly, the monolock design rates very highly in strength and function.
