Who is Blackie Collins???

[Optimus Prime]

I see his name on everything from machetes to polymer folders, but for the life of me I can not find out who he is.

A famous knife designer.........:dunno:

Blackie Collins invented locking mechanisms which use turn-bolt technology for safe opening and closing of the blade. This eliminates the possibility of accidental opening. He designed knives for field use that have sideliner locks with one-hand opening. An example of these innovations in a small, light weight pocket knife is the Rolox. This is a 4" knife with sliding blade, ideal for personal protection.
