I've got a 6-7 year old Kershaw Whirlwind that opens as smoothly and quickly as it did the day I bought it. Locks up just as solidly too. Not to mention the very reasonable price.
I probably should have said the best available that I have personal experience with as there are brands that I haven't tried. I did say the best in my opinion.

Isn't it still a liner-lock, though? I dunno, for general purpose knives my liner-locks have done plenty fine, but for hard use and abuse (like stabbing meaty things) I would think a lockback or axis lock would be the most secure. I've had liner locks slip out at unfortunate times even on my favorite knives.
