Does the arm stay up when you have to change the blade?

The arm does stay up but the blade has enough slack adjustment (with the black nob on the back) to let you easily change the blade. After I figured it out it takes me less than 30 seconds to change.

There is a wing nut to remove the blade. There is also 2 positive stops to keep the blade open or closed for storage. I find the wing nut to be adequately sized so it can be securely tightened by hand even with gloves on.

If you hold the blade upside down and release the lock the blade will fall open. That's how mine came right out of the box. Not sure about loosening or tightening the screws and what affect that will have though as I've never tried. In my opinion this knife is great and worth the try, as you can always return it.

Yes, and there is no wiggle to the blade once open. I have had one as my EDC and so far so good. For the price you can not go wrong.

I believe mine was a easy removal with either a wing nut or something else easy to adjust. It is easy to adjust to change the angle of the blade. Personally, I wouldn't remove the blade even when storing it. It is too easy to lose the various parts that keep it together.

No, at first it is a little tough to do until it gets worn down, but if you turn the open blade towards yourself and look at the handle, there is a piece that is oblique in there. Push the top of that piece so it is straight up and when that piece is straight up you can close the blade. That is the locking system. Simple, but proven effective. It'll get easier and easier to close.

No. The thumb button on the side of the knife releases the blade when pushed upward.

No, the blade is not adjustable but you can take it off easily for cleaning. I used it in a children's hair salon, doing marathon haircutting and never had to change the blade. The only adjustment you get is with the attachments.

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.

No, there is some minimal play in the position of the blade when it is inserted, and I suppose it could be tightened down in a way to adjust by a few millimeters. But as far as design goes, it isn't adjustable.

There is a distinct click when I sheath the blade. & by far one of the tights hugs on a blade I have. I have turned the knife upside down on mine & shook it several times without it falling out.

Not that I'm aware of. Never tried to adjust the arm. Not sure if your talking up and down or lateral movement.Either way I haven't had a need to do so.

No. Ice production is controlled by the arm. The arm should stay up if the ice piles too high.

yes just unscrew the bottom of the handle and the blade guard comes off from the top completely to change the blade. it is a relatively simple mechanism.

I am not sure. Got the blade then got nerve damage in my hand . Have not had a change to use it . Sorry.

I've never had the blade retract on me when using it regardless of how hard I push. It's nice and solid. I love it.

It was a little stiff the first time, but I don't have problems adjusting it now. Just be careful that your hand doesn't slip over the blade. I turned mine upside-down (face down on the counter) the first time I adjusted it.
