It’s not just an oddity, either. The lock is just as sturdy as any other frame lock. The button only serves to make operating the knife even more convenient. It doesn’t hurt that it’s a great knife otherwise.
(For reference, Remette didn’t invent this lock design. Other knifemakers have employed similar designs, like Real Steel and Reate.)
Much more than a novelty
Even if this knife only had one lock disengagement method, it would still be exceptional. Made to look like a meteor arcing across the sky, it measures 7.5 inches. That’s on the larger end of the EDC spectrum but is still within the reasonable size range.
Its drop-point blade features a complex, manually ground shape with satin and pearlescent surface effects. It’s also made from Böhler M390, one of today’s most popular, sought-after super steels.
