How do you close the blade once it's opened and locked in its position? I can't seem to be able to close it no matter how hard I try to push it down. It just stays locked.

You use the little mechanism on the bottom of the knife.it will go to the left. its a little blackpiece of steel with ridges on it. push it to the left of the knife.

Pull the blade back to help it relive some tension then push the locking mechanism out of the way and close the knife

There is a small piece of metal in the handle that u have to push over to unlock the blade. That will allow you to close the knife.

Research the types of blade locks, their history, and how to use them before you buy a knife. It proves to be useful!

Well this i liner lock style blade, meaning that if you but your finger in the center of the knife at the base of the blade (with the blade facing you) and push to the right you can unlock it and fold it safly

If you don't know how to close a knife, and you have to ask online to get the answer, you shouldn't have a knife

Theres a spot on the knife where the blade folds in, theres a small metal like bar in the middle of the bottom end of the blade, push it to one side and it should fold into place.

Hi, this is Mike. I have not had too change out mine yet but did look at it. If you look at the orange cutting head you will see an orange knob type lever. You will then need to slide it all the way to the unlocked position and it has black print to designate lock and unlocked position. Once in unlocked position you will need to grab the orange circular casing that holds the blade then wiggle and pull outward at the same time and it will unsnap from the main unit. The blade and the orange housing are replaced as an assembly to protect you from being cut by the sharp blade. Once that is removed simply snap in the new blade and housing into them main unit and slide the orange lever back to the locked position and you should be good to go. Hope this helps. Thanks, Mike

I struggled with it too and gave it to my husband. He detached it easily so it isn't the blade; it was me. He thinks he might have pushed it in a little before twisting. Good luck. It really works great when it works!

The little black thumb slide on the side ( near the blade ) slides to move the blade gaurd. It may need to be moved several times to loosen it slightly. Be careful not to touch the blade. It is VERY sharp.

Look inside the area at the end of the butt of the blade - the area where the blade is supposed to close into. You will see right in the middle against the back or butt of the blade a metal section that you need to press to the left. Once you press that section inward you will be able to close the blade into the handle. The knife is designed so that metal rib or piece keeps the blade from folding in on you accidentally. Don't worry, it took me some time to figure that out as well. Hope this helps.

there is lever up near the front on the lift hand side. lift it put as far and it will let go and then it releases the blade.

Lift the blade cover from the back and rinse between the blades. You can't actually remove the blade themselves.

Just push the piece of metal acting as a lock toward the side with the clip and the blade should again move freely. It protrudes slightly above the frame of the knife and is also textured, so it's pretty easy to get traction on. Pretty standard these days, after a while it'll be entirely 2nd nature opening & closing it with one hand without even thinking about it.

Same here. It worked fine for a while, and suddenly, the blade wouldn't go back down. Can't figure it out.

I got it, too, but didn't like it. The closing of the blade is accomplished best by the use of a strongthumbnail to prise away the locking tab, while you're folding the blade shut. Good luck with that...

Turn the knife with the blade facing up. On the handle right next to the blade is a locking piece. Slide this to the right or left. I can't remember which. The blade can then be closes.

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.

took me a while to figure it out - there is a little lever on the side which enables closing of the knife - good luck

If the knife is already open and you're trying to close it, I would suggest adding more force into the locking mechanism. If it's still stuck for any reason I would ask the seller for an exchange/ return for it being defective.

For each, push down on a lever just below the blade and hook and it will release the blade to close. It works the same for the hook. I'm not sure what the lever is called, but experiment with the lever just beneath the blade.

There is piece of metal that snaps into place when the knife is opened. It is serrated near the end where it holds the blade. Depress this and the blade will close after pressing it towards the handle. Be careful!

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.
