This variation is generally considered destructive.
The final move of Locked Wing can either be executed as a direct sandwiching maneuver or as a scissoring maneuver. In other words, does the hand-sword make contact directly with the knee strike (sandwiching maneuver) or does the hand pass to the outside of the knee without making contact (scissoring maneuver).
Rationale for Scissor
The rationale for executing the move as a scissoring maneuver is that this option shows a variation to the vice-like maneuvers that is not demonstrated elsewhere in the form. And therefore, to execute it as a sandwiching maneuver would remove information intended to be conveyed in the form. Furthermore, executing the maneuver in this manner is more devastating and effective against a potential opponent.
Rationale for Sandwich
Generally, the rationale for executing the move as sandwiching maneuver comes from not being exposed to the scissoring option and therefore never having to rationalize why the maneuver is executed in this manner. Furthermore, executing the maneuver in this manner is effective enough to disable any potential opponent. Finally, execution using the sandwiching method is very popular and is the most common way of executing the maneuver.
