I can see it happening, but I'm still at the stage where I'm messing around with a lot of different locking knives. For example, this past year is the first time I've owned a flipper or an axis-style lock or a button-lock knife.

I started with a multi-blade folding knife I carried as a kid, but somehow I was able to cut myself with it when carving. I moved on to Benchmade and Spyderco, carrying a Delica almost daily for over a decade. Still love that knife. The opening hole and solid lock make it a safe and effective tool. Recently, I've been buying inexpensive knives with different locking mechanisms, like the button-lock. I find that I'm not really a fan of liner locks.
I still like having the ability to open and close a knife with one hand say when opening a food package.

Been there, in my opinion, the axis lock is one of the most convenient locks. I never required the thumb studs to get it to deploy, simply pulling back the axis lock thumbs to open and close. Never had a button lock, but I can see why it would perform practically.
