I'm unsure what the purpose of the knife compartment Is there a bottom if so am I missing a part? How can I use this it is not clear to me.?

I was also perplexed by this. No, there is no missing part, the knifes just hanging in there. You need to position that compartment correctly. First i attached it upside-down and that didn't make sense at all. One side of the compartment is taller then others. Turn it so it will face the ceiling and away from cart. This way compartment will hide under the counter leaving just a small opening. That opening is very small but allows you to put knifes in and prevent them from falling through.

I really like this accessory. I have 2 big and 6 small knives in it. This way I always have knives available when preparing a salad or any other meal. It's really convenient and easy to use. I am glad the cart came with it.

I can only put my large chapping knives in it because the smaller steak knives don't work. No bottom to it.... The brackets holding the drop leaf on my also cracked before installed, so I'm scared to really use it.

We couldn't figure out what the designer had in mind either. We ended up not using it. Something else that we've noticed is that the brackets that hold the drop leaf supports are made of wood. One of the brackets broke within the first week, and the other had signs of cracking. I fashioned simple metal brackets and replaced them (something the manufacturer should have already done).

There is no bottom. Nor is there a slotted top to place the knives. The sliding counter top is supposed to hold the knives in place, I guess. I don't use it to hold knives as it is dangerous with pets - the knives can easily fall to the floor.We tacked plastic mesh to the bottom and place our electronics in there while they're charging. I wouldn't trust this set up for knives. Otherwise, it's a nice cart.

There are fixed slots used to guide the knife. It is nice to have the loaf traight and uniform slives. You could use a shim to hold the loaf away from the end but not worth the effort.

I collect a lot of knives. Currently, this knife is stored away. I believe it is a liner lock. If you look into the blade compartment you should see a flat piece of metal, along the blade "liner" that locks the blade in place. You should be able to push this liner away from the blade to release the blade allowing it to close. Try that and let me know if it works.

You might be able to unscrew it. However it doesn't stick out far and i like it, but beware if you plan on using the knife holder mine came attached, but it was on up-side-down and there is no way you can turn it right side up so, any knives put in it would obviously fall out.

The question was can it be locked?, not what is your opinion regarding locking the bag? The purpose of the lock has nothing to do with entry with a knife, it is to satisfy certain legal transport requirements.

I'm guessing a place for your finger when closing and or when cutting a place for pressing down to put force on the blade. Good knife for the money, i am happy with it.

There is the regular lock most knifes have in the center and then there is a small switch, looks like a weapon safety at the middle of the knife. You must pull the switch and push on the middle bar both at the same time.

When you pull the blade out, it locks. If you're holding the back of the knife away from you (blade in your left hand), the lock is at the base of the blade. You push that down and slowly close the knife. If that doesn't work, you may have a defective knife. Hope that helps!

it is a lock back I believe. You push down in the center of the back of the knife.

I don't understand the question. The latch keeps the lid closed, nothing can fall through; the ultra-sharp chopping blade is held in place by slots...who cares about the bottom?

Underneath the blade, where the blade closes into, there should be a locking pin. Pull the locking pin to the side and the knife will close.

Hello, Yes I would always suggest using blade guards. If you're looking at this case you're serious about your knives.Knives move around a bit in most of the cases I've use, and I purchased this one because I ran out of room in my last case.It hold everything I need it to. The one problem I have with this case is, the empty slots, so now I need to buy more knives/gear!Good luck with your search, you won't be disappointed if you choose this one.Ciao!

NONE of these answers help me close this knife. "thing between the knife"? WTH? Why bother to respond. "push away lock" "piece that clicks"?? Worthless guys.

there is a safety switch. You have to push the switch into the "armed" position to open it. The knife stays armed until you flip the switch back down.

There is some type of spring mechanism that helps the blade fully open. Try looking it up on YouTube to see how it works.

There is a small metal piece that will lock the blade to stay open, you have to move it over and close the blade at the same time. This piece is where the blade is when it is closed. Hard to explain, but it's a small ridged piece.
