Is there a safety latch to keep the blade arm down when it is not in use?

Yes... kind of. The board has a small post that sticks out the side. The blade arm has a matching depression for the post. You simply flex the guillotine arm outward a little as you finish pressing the arm down so the post slips into the depression. It's not particularly child-proof, but it works for an adult.

Not sure what you mean. I have not had any problems in opening or closing the blade. The lock is safe and secure (very strong) and when I pull back the ball/lever the blade can safely be folded.I have not felt the ball/lever to be abnormally tight nor has itchanged in feel over the time I've had it (about 4-5 months).

There is an inline frame lock. A spring-type piece of metal the runs inside the handle. You push it aside and carefully close the blade. You can see the operation in the product video.

I haven't had to mis use the knife so I couldn't say. But I am very happy with it. It feels to me that it stays locked if mine were to come unlocked then I Shirley was misusing it. I carry mine everyday

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 is a small white plastic piece that covers the edge of the blade. It pushes out to expose the blade...its a safety feature.

Sadly no. It snaps into place and is great for things like whittling wood, and general knife-use tasks, but if you require a true locked blade, this won't be it. Hope this helps. J.

There is no lock on the blade height. I haven't noticed any movement up or down once the blade height is set.

No. I'm sure you do know how to close it but if not....On the inside of the knife there is a piece of metal that locks the knife into place do it can not go down. Press that to the side then the knife can go back in place

Yes the bottom is open, however there their is a shroud to protect you from the cutters. It is quite safe unless you in the shroud, it's best to lift and carry it from the sides and bottom. Lots of luck with your new blade holder it is the best way to store the blades. Jack

No. But the blade is secure when closed. It never opens on me on accident being an open assisted knife.

John, There is a lock mechanism which is the titanium side of the knife. It is very secure once opened and locked. This is my favorite carry knife.

Theres a little tab in the sheath that applys preasure to the blade however its not enough to hold it when its upside down. A mod is probably your best bet if you want your blade to remain held with out the safety strap. Are you planning to put it on your shoulder?

First flip up the locking mechanism that is folded down over the blade.Then slide the piece of metal that is on the side of the blade down.Remove the blade and insert another (or just flip the current blade around to use the other side of it).Slide the piece of metal back up and the lock back down.

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.
