how do you move the knife through the "V"? Do you tilt it on each side of "V" alternating sides? I know the knife shd move only 1 direction.

I angle the knife slightly to the left for three strokes and then repeat with the knife tilted slightly to the right. You want to still pull the knife towards you with every stroke. That's the method I use and it works great for me. My knives have never been sharper.

The item is very cheap and the suction cup does not hold making the process very dangerous. Very unhappy with this item.

There's a little triangular piece at the top corner where the blade meets the handle. Just turn that triangle forward a couple clicks and the knife should come out. The trick is out a little bit then up out of the ABS. Hope that helps.

I don't think you have it pushed in all the way- it took me a while to figure out that unless there is a little "Click", the blade is not as far in as it needs to be for safety and stability. Makes it really hard to take it out-strong fingers needed but that's how it has to be. And this applies to all the blades. They click into place and once they have clicked, you can slice like crazy without any problems. Are you loving your slicer? We have been camping in a rental for a year and just moved into our "forever" home last weekend and have really missed our slicer. It will be a while before we unpack it but that will make the reunion all the better, I think.

You don't have to move anything. Put the blade in the slot so that the hook is over the clasp, it will be at an angle to the handle. Then holding the back of the blade give the handle a sharp whack on the floor or whatever and it will lock into place. Same goes for taking the blade off only in reverse

Where the blade meets the handle, there is a single flat piece of metal which acts as a spring and is embedded inside the handle just touching the base of the knife blade. You just need to push this small wedge of metal sideways with a thumb nail and the blade will close. It took me a little while to figure it out the first time also so don't feel too bad.

keep pushing the razor blade back, it will have a few clicks more even after it is already inside. once it has stopped moving it will release the knife blade. the razor blade also has to be completely closed to open and close the knife blade

The same piece that moves right when you open it you move it to the left and close the blade at the same time. I use my thumb on right hand and close with my left. The metal is under tension which allows it to go right when the blade is fully extended and lock it.

Aaron: You can lay a 2x6 flat, or stand it on edge. Which way are you talking about? You can cut at a 45 degree angle across the board, or tilt the blade (not swivel it) by 45 degrees. How about a better description of what you want to do. Regards, Pete

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!

Are you serious Merry? Turn knife over and look at the finger groove on the bottom; it has a serrated look and feel (it is curved inward towards the knife handle. If your knife is open then this serrated bar will look crooked at an angle. Push it back towards the side of the knife handle until it is straight. This will free the blade which you close with the other hand. Don't cut yourself please!

I need to open and close my knife one handed. It didn't work for me so I sent it back. It was a shame because I really liked the knife.

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.

Hello Tacitus, when you flip over the knife, you can see there is a liner lock that securely lock the blade when you open it. To close the knife, just press the liner lock inward and return the blade to its original position. Hope this helps. Many blessings, BlizeTec

There is a spring in the handle that will lock the blade in the open position. It is located in the cutout area of the handle. Just push the spring to the side and the blade can then be closed into the handle. It is similar to a knife which the blade is locked in the open/extended position.

First of all the last that two that answered shouldnt have responded if they choose to be so rude. Ignore them. This knife has a liner lock. You push the thin piece of metal ti the side where the blade originally came out of the handle. Good luck!
