Was looking into this stuff since everybody in the Benchmade world speaks highly of the Axis lock, and I found some cool info on both the Spyderco and Benchmade websites. Thought I'd pass it along in case anyone else get's bored and wants to check it out.

Here's some info from Spyderco on grinds/handle-material/blade-shape/locking mechanisms:

Here's Benchmade's page on their locking mechanisms:

Here's Benchmade's page on steels (more info than Spyderco's), and info on their blades in general:
