Regarding the internal mechanisms, all grades are just works of art in addition to being ingenious designs. It maybe semantics, and I may have it incorrect, but I thought the lower catch bar to be the intercepting scear, which is released 1st and then the overhanging scear to release the hammer. In addition to the safety aspect when dropped, a boxlock possessing the upper and lower scears, if in proper working order, all but guarantees that the possiblity of doubling is negated.
