I found one that was my son's and made the mistake of opening it. Now I can't close it. Is there some trick to 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!

not quite a trick. . . if you look in the casing of the knife from the blade side, you'll see a little spring-it has teeth on it. it's bent over to lock the blade in place (keeps it from closing on your hand). push it to the left and fold the blade shut.

Its what is called a liner lock. If you look where the blade folds in you will see a thin metal piece that locks the blade open. Push it to the side and the blade should unlock

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.

Haha, a common problem if your not familiar. There is a metal tab that runs along the inside of the handle. Push it to the left then slowly and carefully close the blade forward and shut

No I've tried but I can't get the old one out. What ashame. I just bought new ones. Hope this helped.

The one I bought is diposable one but I tried to open it and I think I can make a way to make this re usable.

We threw ours away (the "case" or "rack"), but there should be little tabs on each side you have to pop out to get it to open.

I cannot open mine either. Can't send it back as it is over a month since I bought it. I ordered a different kind of lock. Very disappointed...Alma

i'm having trouble opening it as well. Please let me know how you end up opening it. Thanks!

Put a paper clip in the part that unzips it and it works really well. Just remove before your kids play with it

Try taking the lid off when it is not sealed. Then seal it and try it again. You'll have major trouble removing the lid if it's sealed.

I have taken mine off a couple times, but you have to pry it off. It doesn't just open up and snap shut.

Dorothy, I had the same problem. Hold the bottom (bigger part) with your left hand and twist the part just above it with your right hand. Failing this, go to YouTube and see how is done there. This is how I managed to open mine. I hope this helps.

I'm not aware of any place to unscrew the lid! If you want, you can text me a picture at 443-794-0735. I should think it can probably be removed, but mine looks like the picture. Does the sticker cover the button or one of the ports?

You must have a defective one..had no problem opening mine. Turn counterclockwise.

Turn them straight up and down, then use a small flathead screwdriver to pry it out the first time. I had to use needle nose players to even turn them the first time. After that it opens fine.

I would try to find something to fit in the button to open it back up. From what I remember on mine there is a tiny button to push in there.

I don't know either. I tried to keep it open by placing a straight pin in the opening but now I can't get that out either. It is a problem.

Just barely 'tap' that little button at the side of the top step. Don't force, just a 'baby-touch' moves it to the folding position. That's all it takes. Then it will fold closed again. Write back if you can't get it. It's easier than it seems! (That little button moves a lever.) Got it yet? :) I hope so. :)

I had trouble at first too .. I think there are clear stickers/tape that hold the top and bottom of the tray together that you need to remove before it will open easily. Look very closely and see if you can find and remove them and then try again!
