Does the blade retract before folding

No it does not. However it is the best and most comfortable razor knife I've ever used. I have one and work and one at home. Many other manufacturers' models have a push button that unintentionally releases the razor while in use. This one does not. It is locked in. The weight and feel of the knife are also great. I definitely recommend it.

when you squeeze the handle the blade extends and will stay extended until you again squeeze the handle and at the same time hit the black button with your thumb, at which time the blade will automatically retract. I love this box cutter! It far surpasses any other I have seen.

It has a liner lock bud. Right below the blade there should be jimping, press it in towards the body of the knife then the blade or hook should allow to fold.

No, the blade is fixed by a cap screw. So you need to unscrew and screw back whenever you change the blade.

When the knife is open, look at the slot in the handle where the blade comes out of. you should see a silver metal piece that you push to the side to retract the blade.

It does retract, but needs to be guided by hand slowly. Otherwise the screen will tear at the top channel. Initially I was not pleased with the unit, but I have been able to deal with its drawbacks by compromising!!

With knife in hand and blade down there is a red round lever on the right side. Pull that back and then slide the blade lock from where the blade folds to at the same time. And presto its closed.

Yes. There's a little "lever" on the back edge, opposite the blade, that when pushed flips open the blade. Great feature!

There is a small metal lock where the blade goes that locks into position when you open the blade. You must move it out of the way yup close the blade.

yes. there's a small lever on the back side and if you apply pressure the blade will flick open. The blade is spring loaded. It's ideal for one-hand blade usage. This is a great knife!

Yes. Fully retracted, it is about seven or eight feet long, including the blade.

No, the knife is not double action. It is spring assisted out the front and then the blade locks in place. To retract the blade you have to push a safety button and then use the button on the knife to retract.

No. But the blade is secure when closed. It never opens on me on accident being an open assisted knife.

No but it only requires a light flick of the wrist and the design allows you to flip the knife closed too which is great if your hands are full. This is an outstanding knife. I have carried SOG and CRKT knives and this is by far my favorite knife.

No. The only part designed to fold is the handle. Though, I never figured out how to get it to fold. Supposedly, there is some sort of release mechanism.

No. There is a small slider on the outside opposite the clip that you have to slide up to unlock the blade for closing. You can see it in the product picture.

Yes it does. What's pictured is the lower blade that is stationary. The blade that moves back and forth is on the top which isn;t pictured.
