The Pharaoh is a button lock, and features the patented AutoLAWKS automatic safety, which engages when the blade is opened and locked. This combination makes just about the strongest and most secure lockup possible in a folder.

Dual checkered thumb studs allow fast opening with either hand. To close the Pharaoh, you must pull back the AutoLAWKS lever with the finger while pressing the button lock. The chances that this folder can close accidentally are very minimal, if not absolutely zero.
