can the lock be picked easily, say with a butter knife?

I don't think so but I am not an accomplished lock picker. You need to insert the key completely to open the box.

Doubtful, as keyhole is small and not straight. This is very well made and suited for its intended use.

Yes. It locks like a regular deadbolt from the inside. It's quick and easy, but it can always be unlocked with the correct code from the outside.

Yes it is possible. There is a place under the handle for the padlock to go through.

Yes, but it's more like a child's lock. You can use pretty much anything to break into it, way too easily.

It depends on how much you tighten it. You can tighten the pivot until you can't even get the blade out if you want. Out of the box though, it was slightly towards the easy to open spectrum. The lock up was tight but it still managed to open easily. Not really worried about it opening in a loose bag easy, but able to flipped out with a thumb or by harshly waving the knife, sure.

Contact the manufacture or, actually try a small paper clip. Twist it to fit in the lock and, you just might be able to pick it.

We haven't had that trouble. And I agree you. You shouldn't have to pick the lock. My granddaughter's puppy actually chewed her key up a couple of weeks after receiving the diary. I happen to have a collection of old skeleton keys and had one identical to the plastic key. It still works perfectly.

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.

If by assisted you mean a "pop-lock or switchblade", then no. There is a thumb tang that let's the user open the knife with a single hand. Hope that helps in your buying decision.

At one end, there is a little "slot" look like you can put the edge of a coin or butter knife to pry open. I just used my finger nail & didn't have any problems.

Just got mine a week or so ago and it had the pickable lock. Called the mfg, supposedly they are sending me a replacement.

Yes, on the small end piece there is a small piece of plastic that you push up or down to lock or unlock. It purposely is difficult to move so that you don't do it accidentally. Use your finger nail to switch it the opposite direction and it should be unlocked.

Yes > The knife can easily be opened and used with one hand. It comes sharp from the factory. dt

Without going to look and see if there are little holes in the zipper pulls for a tiny lock my answer would be no. Even if there are what is the point in locking a fabric bag? A knife would open it in two seconds.

I can open it easily with my fingernail. You may need to push the right point to open it.

Not that I can see. But a lock would be useless as the case is made of fabric and could be cut easily with a knife.
