Great knife, love it. But putting the blades in is not easy. Is there a trick to getting them to go in easily and quickly?

Take your time and they will go in easy Don't take them out very time you use them just rise them off good Nothing easy is good

Jim,I don't know? On mine I have never had a problem. It came with 4 of 5 different blades and they all slide right in. Let me know what specifically you are having trouble with and I will check it out.Mark

Shouldn't be a problem, there may be a defect in the receiving portion on the knife. I'd contact the manufacturer with the concern.

Turn it upside dow and place your foot into the handle. push down really hard on the blade and you should here a snap and then it will be sturdier. This should solve the problem. Feel free to contact me again if you still can't get it.

Not as easily as some of the gerber knives but it's possible. Not comfortably though.

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 thumb notch along the spine of the handle that you can flick, making the blade jump out quicker. However, on this knife, it doesn't flick out to a locking position like most other assisted open knives. Its still a good blade though.

Its normal. Its a brand new knife. Just practice a little bit and it'll loosen up. If not put a little bit of WD 40 in the joints and that will make it very smooth.

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.

it went in perfectly for me...u may have to nudge it in with a blade, make sure no edges are bent.

I believe you can set the edge in as far as you need to. I have not run into this situation yet. But the knife would have to be very very thick to really affect the sharpening.

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.

There's a little triangular piece at the top corner where the blade meets the handle. Just turn that triangle forward a couple clicks and the knife should come out. The trick is out a little bit then up out of the ABS. Hope that helps.

I collect a lot of knives. Currently, this knife is stored away. I believe it is a liner lock. If you look into the blade compartment you should see a flat piece of metal, along the blade "liner" that locks the blade in place. You should be able to push this liner away from the blade to release the blade allowing it to close. Try that and let me know if it works.

This works for me. I open the plastic case that the blades come packaged in and "dump" them flat and onto a level surface, such as my cutting table. Then what I do is to swipe away from me until one blade slides forward. Then, I put my rotary cutter directly over the hole in the blade, slide the cutter and blade to the edge of the cutting table until the underside of the blade is "free," and then turn it over and secure it. These blades are super sharp, so NEVER touch the edge of the blade itself.

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.

You may want to check out YouTube for use demo. I received mine moments ago and they seem OK. It is important to not just pull up on area furthest from blade but also pivot the forward section on blade end downward, much as when turning a car key off or cranking the handle of a traditional kitchen opener . Don't just use finger tips but hold firmly between length of thumb and index finger. The idea is to evenly distribute the force thereby preventing holding at can grip slot.

I still can't get the blades out. All the comments say it pops out easily. I tried pulling the foil with the holes and the plastic piece up but they won't budge! Could it be that mine isn't removable?

I love those knives and keep them even when they break, wether because I dropped them or use them much for any reason cause I can use them for spare parts... if you didn't lose the part you can fix it youself. I often call these people to report fails too, hopefully they'll improve it... it's a great knive... not perfect though.
