I just can't figure out (by looking at the pics) how do you open it? No thumb stud or hole or anything.

You push the stud from the back side. This is a very sweet knife for the money! Buy one you be glad you did!

There is a small tab at the base of the blade and when the knife is closed sticks up above the back or spline of the closed knife. You simply put your fore finger on this tab and pull down with your finger. Very easy and fast almost like a switch blade if you flick the knife while pulling down on the tab.

Below the index finger curve of the handle is a metal sdtud that sticks out. (This also helps you hold on to the knife) When closed, the stud goes to the opposite side of the knife. You flip the stud and the knife opens. To close the knife you just put some pressure on the lock inside the handle of the knife towards you and the knife can close.

It has a flipper on the back side of the blade behind the pivot. Simply flip it down with your index finger to open the knife. Works great!

Towards the back and bottom of the blade. When the blade is open, the stud is right in front of the finger groove, were your index finger would be when you're holding the knife. It's small but still easy to press when the knife is closed.

It sure did not surprise me to see this question. The entire center section of top, slides in the direction indicated. It does not lift up, nor does it push down. Stick your thumbnail in the end, and it will slide open. Trying to slide it by pressing your thumb on the knurled surface is fruitless. Ignore all the things on top that look like holes that need to be drilled out or pushed in.

Hi Courtney, I really appreciate you taking time to answer, however, I don't see how to get the head of the screw inside the rubber part. There's now way to open it and the hole is only big enough for the screw part. Any ideas?

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.

Hi, turn to unlock and pull upward on each hinge. might even pry it up with a screw driver between the two parts on the hinge. mine was difficult too, it kinda of pops off when it does come off.

It is not assisted opening. You either flip it out with the thumb stud or flick it out after disengaging the axis lock.

I used a coin to pry it open. Was difficult at first, but after I opened it once it was alright.

It's really hard! I've found that pushing it sideways with my thumbnail rather than trying to pull it open (the way it LOOKS like it should work!) will get it to pop open easiest. Otherwise, prying it open with a butterknife is the easiest on your hands.

Unscrew it partially. Do not take screw completely out. Then push it in an it will release a catch. Then you can swing the front open.

Yeah....opening it by hand is tough. I use a small screwdriver too. No accidental opening likely.

It just snaps open and I think on one you ave to use a screw driver. I am not sure my hubby did it and he is on the road but I know it was easy

There are 2 screws on the outside of the door that are removed, then the whole thing pulls out. On the other side there is a cover that pops off with a screwdriver that exposes the internal parts. When you get it it will be obvious. Kind of hard to explain and I put them in a month or so ago and don't remember the specifics, but I do remember it was pretty much a "no-brainer". They look really good and work perfectly. They don't look or feel cheap. Good Luck

You twist them (to the left I think). I had trouble with one of mine and had to twist and pull quite a bit before it popped open. Tricky little suckers.

That actually is a blade stop and not a thumb stud. It's not meant for opening the knife. That's what the flipper is for. The flipper can be used with either hand.

I just finished assembling this bike less than an hour ago; so, this is still fresh in my mind. I had a bit of trouble with this as well. First, make sure everything is lined up straight and the screw holes are open. You may need to turn the screw through each of the holes (before assembling) to open them up if they are not drilled open all the way. I also found that it took a bit of "elbow grease" to get the screw to go all the way in as it is supposed to do. The first few turns of the screwdriver are difficult, then it screws in smoothly. Perhaps there is a holding material on the inside of the handlebars that you have to get through, I'm not sure. I hope this helps; good luck!
