Where is the blade release button located on this knife? Is it near where your thumb will be so that you accidentally release it?

It is on the end and you push it toward the back of the knife to release it. It works good.

I know this might sound crazy but I don't remember where the release button is located but I can tell you that after filleting around 150 or so crappie it was not a problem

It's on the top where your thumb goes but it's further forward and it's not an issue. It slides back to release the blades and I've never accidentally released the blades and I've cleaned over a thousand fish with my knife. I'm a professional fishing guide and I love this knife.

There is a thin strip of metal towards the back of the knife. Push it and it releases the blade.

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

On the blade end of the handle there should be a little black plastic piece blocking the knife from closing. Push that back to the side it comes from

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!

There is a button that you press, right next to the grip. You can see it on the picture. It's the black diagonal thing on the picture. (It's actually 2 buttons, the lower one. Not sure what the top one does) It's very easy to work with your thumb, even for me and I'm left handed. I holds about five spare blades, so you're never without a fresh one.

On the side where the knife comes out there is a metal grip, press it to one side and try closing it

K.D.- When holding the open knife with the blade to the left, edge down, you are looking at the "front" of it. From this view, just to the right of the hinge "button", find the small edge of metal that interrupts the curve of the handle. This is the lock. push it towards the "back" of the knife with your right thumbnail, and it will release the blade for closing.It will become obvious when looking at the knife from the "bottom."

Sure. It's sort of a weird design, but if you hold the knife parallel to the ground, blade up, you will see a metal band with ribs that basically continues down the blade into the handle. Use your finger or finger nail to slide that toward the center of the knife while slowly closing the blade. I say SLOWLY because it's designed to close on your hand otherwise. Useful tool, not the brightest design. Hope this helps.

There's a little medal plate where your thumb goes if you hold it in your right Hand. Press down on it and you can start folding the knife back down. Be careful tho

I used my thumb to press against where the case meets the spine of the knife. The knife will slide slide out after careful practice. The inside of this case has a soft interior lining for retention. Practice improves efficiency of knife, case and hand / finger positioning. I obtained a heavier type of "break away" chain. I like this knife.

No, but if you pull the release down you can flick the blade open. Great knife!

It has a liner lock on the inside of the handle that locks into place when the blade opens fully you simply use your thumb to slide the liner lock back to the unlock position closest to the handle on the left side and the blade will release from the lock position and close.

There is a little groove with ridges in the area it closes shut at. It is quite tough just an FYI but I suggest using your thumb and you just pull enough on it until you can pull the blade From the locking position ( its easy to see when its unlocked) Then voila!!!

There is a tab that you have to push out where the blade meets the handle. Simple once you know how to do it.

Hello Tacitus, when you flip over the knife, you can see there is a liner lock that securely lock the blade when you open it. To close the knife, just press the liner lock inward and return the blade to its original position. Hope this helps. Many blessings, BlizeTec

Look at were the blade its supposed to go when the knife is closed. There is a metal flap/bar/plate, (however you wamt to call it) or you can call it a blackened steel liner lock that holds the blade locked, it has a serrated edge that you can feel with your thumb. Use your thumb to press down that liner lock and fold the knife carefully. Make sure your fingers are out of the way to avoid any accidents.
