Yes but the knife isn't the best I thought there is a point at the bottom of the handle so that Hirt when you touched it

Yes is does, one finger extends the blade into locking position. For the price you get what you get but I like it.

You don't have to move anything. Put the blade in the slot so that the hook is over the clasp, it will be at an angle to the handle. Then holding the back of the blade give the handle a sharp whack on the floor or whatever and it will lock into place. Same goes for taking the blade off only in reverse

The blade of this knife does NOT lock, however when held naturally the steel protrusion you see in the picture of the folded knife is held down securely by your thumb.

It's incredibly solid. The blade will not be deployed unless The thumb hole or release is deployed. The lock up is one of the strongest lock ups of the blades I own. I would definitely suggest this blade for any blade lover.

Hello - This is a very nice piece but no, the main blade does not lock. I like mine so well I bought a second for myself and have given a third as a gift. Happy Holidays

No but the clip that keeps the blade holder secure doesn't do it's job . I tried to fix it, ,but still have to be careful no to have the blade come out. maybe I got A bad one,but wouldn't buy another one.

The blade DOES lock into place, it's just that there is no button to release it with ease, you have to flick it kind of hard. Not too hard for an adult, but my kids couldn't do it.

There is a small piece of metal that acts as a clip. It locks in to prevent the knife from closing and possibly cutting your fingers. take that small metal piece and pull it to the left and it should allow the blade to be put back in place.

Yes, when the blade is opened it is locked in place by a spring loaded tab that rests against the base of the blade. It is released by a side movement with the thumb, not too unique as many brands have this feature.

Sadly no. It snaps into place and is great for things like whittling wood, and general knife-use tasks, but if you require a true locked blade, this won't be it. Hope this helps. J.

There is a spring in the handle that will lock the blade in the open position. It is located in the cutout area of the handle. Just push the spring to the side and the blade can then be closed into the handle. It is similar to a knife which the blade is locked in the open/extended position.

You can lock the blade in place to install or change the blade. You can also, set the depth of the cut to suit the thickness of the material. This is very useful when doing a plunge cut into the material.

The handle needs to be pushed very hard into the blade. You'll feel it snap into place. When it does, it will feel very secure ... not loose or wiggly at all.

yes. the knife has the regular piece of metal that set behind the blade once it is opened. on mine it locks half way if you open it slowly but if you open it halfway and then swing it it will lock all the way by it self.

There is a thin piece of metal that slides over to lock the blade in the open position. To close you will slide this thin metal lock back to the side, out of the way for the blade to close. It is located in the index finger groove of the handle. If the knife is open and you look at the handle where the blade goes when closed, you will see it in the way of the blade closing. Just push it over out of the way and the blade will close easily.

It does indeed! Inserting and removing blades is as simple as rotating the lock 90 degrees to seat or unseat the blade. Very easy and fast. Have had this saw for a few years now, and it's a great tool.

inside the handle, where the blade is stored when closed, there is a piece of metal that springs into place to lock the blade in. Using your thumb, push the spring out of the way of the blade, then the blade should be able to rotate to the closed position. once the blade moves the spring does not need to be held open.
