A 100-percent ambidextrous design, AXIS gets its purpose from a tiny, hardened steel bar which rides forth and back once again in a slot machined into both steel liners. The club extends to both sides associated with the blade, covers the liners, and lies over the rear associated with blade. It engages a ramped, tang portion of the blade blade if it is opened. Two omega style springs, one on each liner, give the locking bar its inertia to engage the blade tang. As a result, the tang is wedged sturdily from a sizable stop pin and the AXIS bar itself.
