Yes, the Leek does have a lock but it is a pain to use.
To prevent future problems I sold the knife and will not buy another "assisted" opener.
I NEVER carry a pocket clip knife in the hip pocket. Too easy to catch the clip end on the seat back material and have the knife pulled out of the pocket as you slide down. Plus,it tends to wear a bad spot in car seats.
Almost everyone I know that has lost a pocket clip knife while they were wearing it was carrying it in their hip pocket.
