I just received my knife. I got it open, but I cannot close it. How does it close?

Looking at the knife with the blade facing you. There's a rigid thumb slot. Move it to the left and knife will close.
1160714
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.

Unless it is broken it should be relatively easy to close. Hold it blade away from you with the sharp edge up. Look in the handle, there should be a small metal tab in the middle of the handle that you would push over to the left to unlock the blade. This is a standard locking mechanism for many knives. Hope that helps!

If you don`t know how to close it may be you shouldn´t be operating it. The answer from William is ok, thats the way you close it.

First of all the last that two that answered shouldnt have responded if they choose to be so rude. Ignore them. This knife has a liner lock. You push the thin piece of metal ti the side where the blade originally came out of the handle. Good luck!

When the knife is open, look at the slot in the handle where the blade comes out of. you should see a silver metal piece that you push to the side to retract the blade.

Are you serious Merry? Turn knife over and look at the finger groove on the bottom; it has a serrated look and feel (it is curved inward towards the knife handle. If your knife is open then this serrated bar will look crooked at an angle. Push it back towards the side of the knife handle until it is straight. This will free the blade which you close with the other hand. Don't cut yourself please!

This has liner lock which is located in the blade cavity ( where the blade suppose to fold) .Move this liner lock towards the pocket clip side and fold the knife to close.some time the liner lock gone to far at the time of open in this case you may have to use some tool to push it back toward the pocket clip

To close the knife, there's a liner lock on the finger side of the handle. It's easy enough to close and open one handed.

I need to open and close my knife one handed. It didn't work for me so I sent it back. It was a shame because I really liked the knife.

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 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 slide under the blade that you push to the left to close it. If you're looking at the knife open with the open portion open you will see it. It touches the base of the blade

On the inside of the handle is a silver piece you push over and the blade closes. :)

This knife has a two point close system. Push on the little red button with your index finger, and the inner blade tab with your thumb at the same time to close the blade

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.

You have to follow the instructions on using the knife. The lock is there for safety. That said it's not "broken". Went through that too - who reads manuals right? :)

Right where the blade and handle come together as you are looking at the sharpe side the blade to the right side of the blade in the handle there is a small piece with jagged edge on it. You push this slightly to the side towards the handle and it releases the blade to close it. This is very hard to explain on the comment section. It is just a small piece of metal with jagged edge next to the blade you push towards the handle and the blade releases. I hope this helps.

Your knife should flip open an lock immediately. With the knife in your right hand and the dimple sticking up use your index finger to open the blade. It should snap into place. Once the blade is open it should lock into place there's a small metal strip that holds it into place when open. Press the strip and the blad can collapse.

not quite a trick. . . if you look in the casing of the knife from the blade side, you'll see a little spring-it has teeth on it. it's bent over to lock the blade in place (keeps it from closing on your hand). push it to the left and fold the blade shut.

Mine is the same way. The knife sort of snaps into the sheath - I guess for safety reasons - but it's a cheaply made piece of plastic junk. Try not holding the sheath on the sides, but on the edges, then pull the knife straight out. Watch your fingers. I'm probably going to make a leather sheath for mine. Anyway, snap the knife in and out of the sheath several times and it will loosen up a bit. Hope this helps.

Yes. When the knife blade or any of the tools are pulled from their storage place in the handle they lock. A small black 'ring' is at the base of the tool handle and when pulled back the blade releases so the knife can close safely.

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