Is there a button on the knife that makes the knife spring open or do you have to open it manually?

There is no button that makes the knife spring open. You pull out the blade manually.

Theres a lock on the inside of the knife. You slide the lock out and close the blade manually.

You just push on the front and it pops open....it has a "spring mechanism". Easy to use....as our drawer is not connected to our point of sale system & therefore does not open electronically.

The knife springs out some, but you can open it the rest of the way with the flick of the wrist. It is very durable as well. I use it every day and it has held up well.

No. The thumb button on the side of the knife releases the blade when pushed upward.

While holding the knife in your right hand, simply push your index finger on the right side hook. It will flick open quickly just like a switchblade (Although these are LEGAL and considered "spring assist" instead of the ILLEGAL "switchblade"). You can also use the thumb stud, but it's a little harder to do I think.

a switchblade uses a spring to open the blade upon the pressing of a button. this is an ordinary folding knife, no springs or buttons to open it

Yes it is spring assisted and opens really fast. I have many different knives, but I use this one as my daily use. I use it everyday and am very happy with it.

if you loosen the screws sufficiently, I suppose the blade could be opened by flipping the knife. but if the screws are 'factory' setting, or you tighten them when needed, you WILL have to use your fingers to open it.

It takes a little practice but works great. Just push the knife all the way back in your front pocket. That way the hook can catch and open the knife. Grab the knife and pull up with a quick motion and knife should open up.

There's a spring clip that locks it open. Look into the slot that the blade folds into. Right up at the base of the knife blade there is a little lever that you can push to the left to release the lock. Cheers.

Yes it is an assisted opening knife. You start it by using the "flipper" then a spring assists it open.

No, it's a manual-opener. Cold Steel does not sell assisted/automatic opening knives as of yet...

No it's not but it opens so easily it may as well be, You can either hook it on your pants pocket while you draw the knife (quickest opening I have seen on any knife) or you can flick the thumb stud, You may have to adjust the screw for smoothest opening but it works really well, I'd rate it almost as fast as a GOOD spring assisted knife like my SOG Flashback.

There is a tiny switch behind the push bar to close it, That's a lock. Slide that little switch back towards the rear of the knife. the blade is probably locked

Manual. But the blade opens easily on a rugged pivot point, so it can be opened with one hand with a flick of the wrist while pulling back on the spring-loaded lock.

I'd suppose you could call it so. It opens once tiger button is released and thumb button will retract the blade. spring is very touchy ,VERY EASY release, but it does have safety and is VERY SHARP, also totally illegal to carry in most states!! It's a collector item and I don't recommend carrying on the street!! Hope this is of some help, check your local knife laws.
