HOW TO USE:

1. Grip the Knife: Hold the knife firmly in your dominant hand, ensuring your fingers are clear of the blade path.
2. Locate the Flipper: Identify the small protrusion (flipper) on the back of the blade, near the pivot.
3. Initiate Opening: With your index finger, apply a swift, deliberate downward push on the flipper. The SpeedSafe® assisted opening mechanism will engage, rapidly deploying the blade.
4. Confirm Lock-Up: Ensure the blade is fully open and the frame lock mechanism has engaged securely. You should hear a distinct click and visually confirm that the frame lock bar is seated behind the blade.
5. Perform Task: Use the knife for your intended cutting task.
6. Close the Knife: To close, carefully push the frame lock bar (the part of the handle that has shifted to lock the blade) to the side with your thumb. While holding the lock open, gently pivot the blade back into the handle with your other hand or by carefully rocking the knife. Ensure your fingers are clear of the blade’s path as it closes.
7. Store Safely: Once fully closed, place the knife back into your pocket using the pocket clip, or store it in a safe location.
