with the knife open and upside down take your finger at the very backend of the blade and push the blade lock over with your finger and itr releases the blade lock

Hold the opened knife upside down in one hand and with one finger of that hand unlock the blade. With your other hand hold the top of the blade between two fingers and slowly close it into the handle

Very carefully, really when you push the locking mechanism to the side I just close the blade slightly to keep the lock out of the way then with other hand close the blade. I'm sure you are doing the same. They should have a design with a button on the outside.

Hello Jason: the Alpha 276 has a liner lock feature. it is located in the handle at the back of the blade. I would turn the knife so the sharp edge is up then use your thumb to press the liner lock to the left against the frame and carefully use your other hand to fold the blade to a closed position taking care to keep your thumb clear once you have started to close the blade and it engages the liner lock to hold it in place. Hope this helps. Johnq

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.

There is a liner lock that you press with your thumb. Very common design. Works well.

It's simple enough. When the knife opens a piece of metal in the handle slides into place and locks the blade open. To close the knife, simple push the piece of metal to the side and close the blade. The piece of metal can be found on the inside of the handle. Look at the groove carved out for your thumb and you will see it.

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.

Remove the blade cover, Push the button at the back to lock the blade and un-bolt. Slide the new blade in from underneath.

With knife in hand and blade down there is a red round lever on the right side. Pull that back and then slide the blade lock from where the blade folds to at the same time. And presto its closed.

When you pull the blade out, it locks. If you're holding the back of the knife away from you (blade in your left hand), the lock is at the base of the blade. You push that down and slowly close the knife. If that doesn't work, you may have a defective knife. Hope that helps!

The blade does not go all the way back in (the last section is about 5 inches and stays extended all the time and the other pieces telescope into it). There is no lock that I can find so if you tip it the sections come back out

No, the blade fold open and closed. They do not lock in position once opened.

On the inside when the knife is open there is a lever that u push to one side, this is what keeps it open so it doesn't close while using it

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, you have to open the multi tool and lock out the blade.In order to close it you have to push in the handle tabs to release to locking mechanism.

If you hold the blade upside down and release the lock the blade will fall open. That's how mine came right out of the box. Not sure about loosening or tightening the screws and what affect that will have though as I've never tried. In my opinion this knife is great and worth the try, as you can always return it.

This has liner lock which is located in the blade cavity ( where the blade suppose to fold) .Move this liner lock towards the pocket clip side and fold the knife to close.some time the liner lock gone to far at the time of open in this case you may have to use some tool to push it back toward the pocket clip

There is a small piece of metal that acts as a clip. It locks in to prevent the knife from closing and possibly cutting your fingers. take that small metal piece and pull it to the left and it should allow the blade to be put back in place.

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.
