There is a "Taper Lever" that adjusts from about 1 mm to about 3 mm, plus there are 8 cutting guide attachments that range from 1.5 mm to 25 mm.

It opens like all the whals do. The open blade zero is like a .5 guard the middle blade zero is almost standard and the closed blade zero is killer close I love it

The blade closes at a 3x0 and opens at a #1/2 (0.25 Ins.) See my blog at http://bit.ly/1gLjrEt for more info! It's a phenomenal clipper. Doesn't get hot, carbon, fiber casing, uses the least amount of energy for an adjustable clipper on the market... (eco friendly). It's still v9000- difference between this and the 5 star seniors is the blade. This one is a standard blade (3x0) the 5star Senior is a Non-Surgical Fade Blade (4x0). You need both as a barber. http://bit.ly/1eIrbFg

If you look at the knife from "underside", you will see a grooved metal bar, silver in color. If you push that grooved section to the left (towards the belt clip side of the knife), the blade will be able to close. Please be careful as the blade is sharp.

It was a gift so we opened one side to check blade that's it. I'd guess it was 8 inches with both blades extended???

Blade is 3.25" long. Opens with flat stud on top of blade. No flipper. No spring. Opening requires a bit of skill.

To open the the blade is simply swinging the blade open. You can use the seat belt cutter part of the blade to assist you with a quicker opening of the blade. When closing the blade it is a double lock and requires both locks to be opened in order to close the blade. Hope this helps.

Within the sleeve there is a lever that locks it into an open position...push it to the left and close the blade.

To close the knife, there's a liner lock on the finger side of the handle. It's easy enough to close and open one handed.

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 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.

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 4" closed. If does make a distinct print on the outside of the pocket. I carry it in my pocket, but it is larger enough to carry in a case in the belt. I LOVE this knife, and I carry it in my pants pocket. BUT, I do not carry it when I'm wearing slacks, it will quickly wearout the pocket material of anything but dungarees, (denim)or thicker trail/hiking pants. It is large enough and solid to do serious work on the farm/ranch, and small enough to keep in the pocket.

closed the unit is approximately 4", open for wrench use 6", the blade is about 2.5". I have several lethermen and this is great I use it more than I expected to. It's light weight and a perfect substation for and pocket knife. The only con is I have had to replace the phillips head bits 3 times because if you do not assure it is secure it will fall out.

The blade will stay open until you close it, it is spring assisted, I hope this answers your question!!
