I can't say I've heard anything about changes to the Juice line, but there are folks here who might know better.  The new Sidekick and Wingman are coming out later this year and seem to be sized somewhere between the Juice and the Kick etc, the post you refereed to couldn't be talking about them could it?

I believe it was on another forum, but not positive. Like I said, though, I might've read it wrong.

I know very little about the engineering on these things, but I'm wondering if the Juice line is even big enough to support locking blades. Doesn't the mechanism which enables it to lock take up space? Probably not a good way to describe it, but again, I'm anything but an engineer. :)

It seems perfectly feasible to get a liner lock onto the very outside blades IMO, but the internal screwdrivers would be a different story altogether I think.  I'm also not sure they need it, I've been using my Juice pretty hard since I got it the other week and have had no issues with the drivers folding back (same story with my Kick which I've had far longer).

I am pretty sure I have seen someone post pics here of a Juice modded to be a liner lock. I just can't remember who it was, maybe J-Sews with the SuperJuice, or Andreas, or Evil?

IIRC Andreas put a liner lock onto a Squirt. :)

That sounds right.
