Apply firm, quick pressure downwards on the flipper with your index finger. The SpeedSafe® assisted opening mechanism will activate, smoothly rotating the blade out of the handle until it locks into place.
2. Using the Knife: Once the blade is fully open, ensure the frame lock is engaged. The metal frame will shift to hold the blade securely. You can now use the knife for your cutting tasks. Always cut away from your body and maintain a firm grip on the handle.
3. Closing the Blade: To close the knife, firmly press the frame lock bar (the portion of the handle that has moved inward to secure the blade) to the side, disengaging it from the blade’s tang. Once the lock is disengaged, carefully fold the blade back into the handle using your other hand until it is fully closed. Always keep your fingers clear of the blade’s path when closing.
4. Carrying the Knife: Utilize the deep-carry pocketclip to secure the knife to your pocket, belt, or gear. The clip is reversible, allowing you to switch it to the other side for left or right-hand, tip-up carry preferences.
