It's a flipper so it is assisted opening it is not SUPER easy to open so it won't open unless u try to

Hey! My name is also Richard! There is none, other than the fact that it is not instantly spring assisted, you do need to open it about a quarter inch before the assist kicks in. I keep it clipped to the inside of my pockets, and it has never opened inside my pocket.

The instructions that come with the knife has tips on how to carry the knife in a pocket safely, including 4 example pictures for different pocket locations. The main tip is to always position the knife in the pocket with the blade snug against a pocket seam, so if the knife did accidentally open, the blade would stay stationary next to the seam, and it would be the handle only that moved in the pocket.

The speedsafe mechanism keeps it closed until you open it to a certain point at which it will open the knife.

There's a tab on the inside that you push to the side, allowing the knife to close. It has ridges on it, and when the knife is closed, sits directly next to the blade,

I had the same issue. There is a catch in the handle of the knife. The catch is in the underside of the handle directly "facing" the sharp edge of the blade. Push it to the side and the blade goes back into the handle.

I'm guessing a place for your finger when closing and or when cutting a place for pressing down to put force on the blade. Good knife for the money, i am happy with it.

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.

Yes. It's one of the fasted blades i own. You can do the standard Spyderco deployment, or you can hold the blade between thumb, pointer finger and middle finger and 'flick' the blade open using gravity for help. On the flip side the blade retains easily and I wouldn't be worried about an accidental opening in your pocket.

There is a little switch in the slot where knife pivots. Push it aside where it holds the blade safely open and then push the blade closed.

If you look in the inside at the back of the knife you should see a little tab. If you push that in the knife will close. I hope this helps.

It twists to extend and retract. It is not going to twist open if you put it in a pants pocket.

There is a small metal tab inside the slot where the blade folds into. Press against the tab to make room for the blade to slide in.

there is a safety switch. You have to push the switch into the "armed" position to open it. The knife stays armed until you flip the switch back down.

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.

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

I clip mine to the inside of my blue jeans pocket every day and have never had it slide open. When it is compressed the tip is always withdrawn and when the pen is expanded the tip is always exposed.

No it does not. It's opened solely by the flick of your finger not an "spring assisted" knife.

It's a metal plate that runs along the back of the knife. If you look at the picture that Amazon uses with the blade to the left and the "BG" logo facing you the unlock area is up and to the right of the "BG". It is somewhat firm to push and get it to close. It's also firm to open. Its definitely not a "flip open" knife. It seems like a two hand open and close knife. I can open the knife one handed but it isn't smooth.

On the underneath of the knife, there is a serrated piece of metal. Push that to the side and it will close.
