ViseGrip™ Folding Technology
In engineering terms, our ViseGrip latching mechanisms have an exceptionally high degree of mechanical advantage. What this means to you and me is that they are exceptionally strong when locked down. But, our patented design also makes them incredibly easy to operate. The latch (either sculpted aluminum or polished stainless steel) is a beautifully smooth shape that fits your hand perfectly. The hinge includes a stainless steel hinge pin and brass bushings between moving parts for a silky smooth folding action. New for 2004 are our Lattice hinges that are stronger and stiffer than ever. Dahon patented technology.
