Sweet thanks @Tahr, they're definitely not automatic, spring assisted, button released and self ejecting blades. But the nature of the locking mechanism, means the blade can be deployed by inertia while holding the lock bar open I believe, though they are still considered a folding knife. I'm just not sure how this sits in the scheme of things.
Edit: Looks like all good as @viper Spyderco Yojimbo2 has a similar locking mechanism.
Cheers guys!
