Is this knife easy to take apart to clean and service with all of the extra liner locks and pieces?

The engineering is awesome so just clean it without taking it apart. Wonder why you would want to. Great knife

Yes, absolutely. It's very easy too. 6 hasps on the cage frame slide open, giving you access to the blades for cleaning.

It is fairly easy to clean. Recommend you get the brush kit and spray silicone. The small holes in the cutter head are pain without the brushes, but with the brushes it's easy. The big parts are all stainless and clean up good.

The screws can come loose over time. If you're the least bit handy, I'd recommend disassembling this knife when you get it and using Loctite or another thread locker on the screws. I haven't had any issues with screws loosening after doing so.The knife is very easy to open with one hand. There is a nub on the sharp side of the blade that protrudes far enough to allow you to start the open with your index finger and then "whip" the blade rest of the way out. You can also use the thumb stud to open the knife up one-handed.

In my opinion yes. Although it is bulky there are man pros to it. The spring assist comes quite in handy when you only have one hand available. It comes really sharp so watch out. The addition safety lock helps make sure the knife is either locked shut or locked open. The glass breaker can definitely come in hand if you ever have to use it. For price I paid of $42 last year my knife is still sharp. However be careful of the knife pocket clip thing. The screws get lose and can come out but if you keep up on it like I have you shouldn't have any problems. But it also depends what you are using it for. So make sure before you buy its what you need for the job you want to use it for. I hope this was helpful.

I haven't had any problems, but I haven't used mine much. It's not the best quality knife I own and I could see where the locking mechanism would malfunction and become a problem.

The blade is separate from the filter, which it needs to be for easy cleaning. It is heavy duty stainless and while the maker says it is dishwasher safe, I wash by hand. I wouldn't put my best knifes in the dishwasher either. We use it everyday. Hope this helps Eileen.

It's not at all hard to clean. It's two parts that click into each other so you just take it apart.

The blade locks up like a vault with a liner lock. Very secure and strong. You can't go wrong with this knife.

It's fairly easy. All running parts except the motor disassemble for easy cleaning with soap, hot water and the included brush that allows the user to reach hard to clean areas.

It's was very stiff at first but I was able to break it in with use, deffenantly not a quick draw knife more of a tough every day knife, but to answer your question yes I get the blade out with one hand

You slot the blade casettes in and out from the top. It's really easy to disassemble and clean as well!

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.

It is easy to clean, however I would not buy it from here again because it is such a rough cut it will scratch your sink. Check Walgreens they have better ones.

No way, the knife has a tough lockup and I don't think it has any kind of washers

i would not call it easy, but it's not terrible either. I had to get use to the disassemble and reassemble, once you get past that, it's okay.the little brush comes in handy for foods that gets stuck. I also use a bigger brush which makes the process go faster.

Really easy actually. I slapped myself once I realized this. Simply push up on the blade (black side up). The assembly comes right off for easy cleaning and oiling like the illusive picture recommends. Hope this helps!
