A customer said that he can't close the knife with one hand. Is this true..

Yes, the blade has a locking mechanism which needs to be depressed before knife will close. I always use two hands to close the knife.

You can, you just need to be a little creative. Depress the unlock latch with your thumb and push the back of of the blade against your thigh to bend the knife in. The re-grip and use your your thumb to fold in the rest of the blade.

You can close one handed without using your leg to push against. Use Greg's method above, but you can start folding with your index finger on the release that you used to open the blade and then finish with your thumb. See my vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krMkPHCPRTo

True... it's a locking blade so you have to use two hands or one hand and the side of your jeans.

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.

The knife doesn't have a thumb indent alongside the blade, so you have to get a fingernail in the seam to open it. Not hard but a pain. To close, you need to push in the retaining bar that locks the blade in place. Again, not hard, but a little more effort than opening. I'm 62 with slightly arthritic hands and generally have no problem opening or closing.

There's a spring clip that locks it open. Look into the slot that the blade folds into. Right up at the base of the knife blade there is a little lever that you can push to the left to release the lock. Cheers.

It is possible to open it with one hand because the action will loosen over time.I wouldn't replace it, i'm a knife enthusiast and I've never been more happy with a large folder

After playing around with the knife more and more it does get easier to close with one hand . I do recamend this knife, it is amazing!

No but it only requires a light flick of the wrist and the design allows you to flip the knife closed too which is great if your hands are full. This is an outstanding knife. I have carried SOG and CRKT knives and this is by far my favorite knife.

On the underneath of the knife, there is a serrated piece of metal. Push that to the side and it will close.

No, it's used for single hand opening. You snag it with the side of your thumb that you are holding the knife with to open it.

Frame lock requires 2 hands to close the knife, although it can be opened with only one hand. The handle / frame has to be held open while starting the closing of the blade.

Sadly, this knife isn't very lefty friendly. It could be opened with the left hand but, not very easily. Closing it singlehanded is also pretty difficult with either hand.
1200881
It is possible, although a little difficult. You need to use your index finger to push the lock bar back, and then push the knife closed with your thumb. Opening is no problem for lefties or righties. The thumbstuds are ambidextrous. Give them a little push and the internal spring does the rest for you.

My knifes screws came loose after only a week or two.You can tighten the screws if you have right tool and you don't lose the screw.Yes, you can flip it out with one hand, but it will break.

inside the knife, near where the blade enters the handle of the knife, when the knife is open, there is a rigged part that is in-line to the blade... you push that to one side and the blade will close...

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.

There is a thin piece of metal that slides over to lock the blade in the open position. To close you will slide this thin metal lock back to the side, out of the way for the blade to close. It is located in the index finger groove of the handle. If the knife is open and you look at the handle where the blade goes when closed, you will see it in the way of the blade closing. Just push it over out of the way and the blade will close easily.

if you loosen the screws sufficiently, I suppose the blade could be opened by flipping the knife. but if the screws are 'factory' setting, or you tighten them when needed, you WILL have to use your fingers to open it.
