I've opened the blade and hook and cannot close them. I have misplaced any guide that came with it. Can you tell me how to CLOSE the blade and hook?

It has a liner lock bud. Right below the blade there should be jimping, press it in towards the body of the knife then the blade or hook should allow to fold.

Sure. It's sort of a weird design, but if you hold the knife parallel to the ground, blade up, you will see a metal band with ribs that basically continues down the blade into the handle. Use your finger or finger nail to slide that toward the center of the knife while slowly closing the blade. I say SLOWLY because it's designed to close on your hand otherwise. Useful tool, not the brightest design. Hope this helps.

If you look where the blade came out, you'll see a serrated edged piece of metal. Push it aside to put the blade away

For each, push down on a lever just below the blade and hook and it will release the blade to close. It works the same for the hook. I'm not sure what the lever is called, but experiment with the lever just beneath the blade.

Did you unscrew the shaft? The whole center shaft acts as a lock and must be loosened to open the hooks

There is a lever that you can flip up to change the blade. The thing is you have to make sure you flip the lever all the way up in order to take the blade out. I ran into the same problem and figured it by myself. Hope it helps.

Hi Angela,in answer to your question if how does the hook come off? I haven't used the hook yet,but I would try to gentler work a sharp knife under the hook them when you get it off run spot with goo gone till. The residue came off.Good Luck.

Do you have the scissor locked all the way open? The first few times I used it, it seemed open all the way, but wasn't I had to make a conscious effort to click it open. ( Same as the knife blades.) when the lock engages, it tensions the spring. Good luck

Make sure the attachment is pushed all the way in, then turn the locking ring at the top of the handle. It can be difficult to turn!

Once the blade opens and locks, look inside the handle where the blade was contained. Right where your thumb is should be a piece with ridges on it. Push that to the left and it will remove the lock from the blade.

Stand on the material (strands) then pull the handle up until it releases. I have already broken one because I did not do it correctly. Good luck!

OK so we solved the problem. We got angry and just pulled. The black round thing with the blade does come out if you just give it a tug or use a spoon to pry it up. Then you can simply remove the bottom part and rinse/wash it. Hope this helps anyone who is as frustrated as we were, but if you could still send the manual and recipe book that would be great. Thanks. -elizabeth

Put in a fake combination after you close and lock it. I really never had the problem you're having, but tricking it with a fake combo is the only way I can think to arm it. Then it seems you'd need to put in the correct combo to open it. Good luck. If that doesn't work, contact the manufacturer about a fix or replace ment.

I got it, too, but didn't like it. The closing of the blade is accomplished best by the use of a strongthumbnail to prise away the locking tab, while you're folding the blade shut. Good luck with that...

I have the same issue - those little plastic bars on the sides have to be manipulated so you can close and cut. I could not find a way around it and do not use it anymore.

I did that too. I turned it up side down and where I saw slots I carefully pulled them out and lifted the cover off and got the blade out. After that I discovered that all I needed to do was turn the blade until it was positioned for the dots to line up and it would come out.

There is a small metal lock where the blade goes that locks into position when you open the blade. You must move it out of the way yup close the blade.

Hi, I suggest that you take closer look at the links screw whether is a tiny screw or split end that was being closed up which look like a screw slot. Or you treat as split pin, pick correct punching size tool and give a light hammer tap in the direct the link arrow showing to move the pin out. Hope this reply helps. Good luck!

There is a small tab below where the blade ends. You have to press this to the side to allow the blade to close. It is the locking system for the blade and keeps it open. Make sure it is pressed all the way to the left before you push the blade back. If that doesnt work, I am not quite sure what would be weong with it.

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!
