A 100 percent ambidextrous design, AXIS gets its function from a tiny, hardened steel bar that rides forth and back in a slot machined into both metallic liners. The bar reaches both sides of the knife, spans the liners and is put over the rear of the blade. It engages a ramped tang portion of the knife blade when it is exposed. Two omega-style springs, one on each liner, give the locking bar its inertia to activate the blade tang. As being a result, the tang try wedged solidly between a big stop pin as well as the AXIS bar itself.
