Blackie Collins invented it, sold it to Benchmark, who sold it to Gerber, who sold it back to Benchmark, who sold it to Bill Adams of Atlanta Cutlery fame (retired). With Bill Adams' blessings, Columbia River has redesigned it and renamed it the "Rollock". This new knife uses the same neat mechanism that Blackie put into the first ones, and it works even slicker. You press down on the back of the blade to raise the point and push it forward until the lock engages. When ready to close the knife, you simply press on the same upside down lock back, grasp the blade and slide it back, then pull against the spring until the point snaps down into place. Sounds complicated, and it has been. Once you have handled the new Rollock, you will find that they are to be the slickest working version of these knives ever made (not nearly as difficult as it sounds). I expect that thousands of these neat little knives will be sold.
