There is a tiny switch behind the push bar to close it, That's a lock. Slide that little switch back towards the rear of the knife. the blade is probably locked

I had the same problem with mine, its just a matter of breaking it in, when I depress the blade lock, (On the back of the knife) I had to relay make sure that it was fully depressed, to release the blade, i just kept working it until it became easier. Little WD40 helped as well. I Love my SOG, its my EDC. Good Luck

On the side where the knife comes out there is a metal grip, press it to one side and try closing it

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.

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.

On my unit the 3 screws that hold the blade will not release. I have tried both directions...thinking they may be reverse thread...still no movement.Tried some penetrant...no luck.Any thoughts

took me a while to figure it out - there is a little lever on the side which enables closing of the knife - good luck

Im no expert, but try checking out the container for cracks, take the blade out using the wrench, clean it up and put it back in.

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.

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 is a small metal piece that will lock the blade to stay open, you have to move it over and close the blade at the same time. This piece is where the blade is when it is closed. Hard to explain, but it's a small ridged piece.

Hello Tacitus, when you flip over the knife, you can see there is a liner lock that securely lock the blade when you open it. To close the knife, just press the liner lock inward and return the blade to its original position. Hope this helps. Many blessings, BlizeTec

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.

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.

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

Turn the knife with the blade facing up. On the handle right next to the blade is a locking piece. Slide this to the right or left. I can't remember which. The blade can then be closes.

It is hard to get it to close the first couple times. Just make sure that the unlock and the arrow are lined up, push the two together and turn at the same time. It feels like you are forcing it but it does close. After a few times it will get easier.

Are you pushing the release? It is inside of handle where blade is. On the pivot end of handle
