I'm having great difficulty closing it. But it's so sharp I don't want to put much force on folding the blade. Any helpful suggestions are welcome.

I have not had any problems with this knife. One of the best knives I have bought in a long time.

Inside the handle with sharp side up there's a lock bar that locks blade in place. With blade pointed away from you press bar to the left that will unlock blade so you can close it.

Needs some breaking in. Just keep opening and closing it. After a while it'll close with ease.

Hold the knife with back of it in your palm, back of the blade along index finger. Use thumb to push lock mechanism, use index finger to push blade. Then use palm of free hand on back of blade to close fully.

You got to push the spring loaded lock, the lock the blade all the way, I used a little gun lub. on my and it helped a great deal with closing it.

there is a small piece of metal located just behind where the blade hinges and where the blade swung out from, with your thumb push the piece of metal toward the outside of the knife the blade should be free now so that you can swing it gently shut

keep pushing the razor blade back, it will have a few clicks more even after it is already inside. once it has stopped moving it will release the knife blade. the razor blade also has to be completely closed to open and close the knife blade

Paul, Admittedly the knife was machined blade to 'spring' to tightly - mine is tight also. I could/can open mine even with mild arthritis in my thumb. I would use a small drop of WD 40 on each blade joint and work it a number of times, it should loosen.

Theres a lock on the inside of the knife. You slide the lock out and close the blade manually.

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.

There is a half circle thumb groove on the bottom side of the knife. You will see a piece of steel that is toothed, move it over to the side of the slat and the blade will fold. Hope this helps!

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

If you are having problems closing the knife I would take it to a local sporting goods store and ask them to look at the mechanism and make sure it is functioning properly. No sense in risking loosing a finger. Walmart - Academy - Gander - all these will have people who will either tell you how to close it or figure out if it is broken.

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!

Yeah, just line it up with the given line, and close it slowly, the one I got has a pretty sharp blade, I even cut a grain of rice.

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.

There is a thin metal fin that runs up the middle of the handle. Use your thumb to push it to one side and then fold the blade down.

I have not had this problem but could see how it might be a possible consequence of a manufacturing defect. Normally it takes a deliberate effort to move the blade lock aside, to allow closing the blade.

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

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.
