WOODEN LOCKBLADE KNIFE
This was made from maple and walnut. The locking mechanism really works. It's a handy letter opener. The spring is a strip of wood flexed to keep the button arm tight against the blade. Oak is a very good wood for the spring. Other woods seem to eventually take the shape they are flexed into, and then the knife blade will not snap into position as tightly.
