A new type of crossbar locking system, the Clutch lock is designed at the handle, with a unique appearance and high safety in use. It’s not only a locking mechanism but a set of systems to enable the action to be customised for the user. The Clutch lock system includes the Clutch bar, adjustable Gemini Spring system, and DED system.

The Clutch bar is the lock bar that locks the knife and the one you pull to unlock the knife. 

The Gemini Spring system is designed with two omega springs and 5 holes on each side of the handle liners. That doesn’t mean the Gemini Spring system has only 5 levels of adjustment, but five-times-five, to be 25 adjustment options! You could pick the strongest level for the thumb side and the third level for the weaker index finger on the other side. Twins but on a different level – that’s why Kizer call it the Gemini Spring system.

 The DED system is short for the D-shape easy disassembling system which is the most important part of the whole locking system since the easy disassembly simplifies the adjustment of the springs.
