Do you hold the blade upward like a sword, or downwards like a knife that you hold downwards?

You can hold it either way, depending upon how you are using it. I usually hold it upright, blade up, however it is a brutal stabber turned the other way

Either way is comfortable to hold it. All depends on what you are using it for at the time

Just the way I would hold some brass knocks and depending on the situation. It was a gift for a close family member. There is a chaos two sided blade if you like slicing in any direction. As for your question; which ever way you feel more comfortable with. Find a mannequin and a practice. Chaos Practice Tanto $10 - $12 I believe. Shop around. Main thing is to enjoy it. Good luck Henry

Depending on your fighting style and how you carry it, either way works fine.

You pull it out in the same time you push the secure line below the blade... Hard to explain jajaj hope it was clear

Neither. It's manual. Use it like a razor. The blade slides out of the handle for use, then back into the handle when not using.

Sure. It's sort of a weird design, but if you hold the knife parallel to the ground, blade up, you will see a metal band with ribs that basically continues down the blade into the handle. Use your finger or finger nail to slide that toward the center of the knife while slowly closing the blade. I say SLOWLY because it's designed to close on your hand otherwise. Useful tool, not the brightest design. Hope this helps.

The knife has a metal spring lock on the back side. You just push it back and fold the knife down

There is a rigid plate on the inside of the handle. Pull it to the side and push the blade down

The button, I'm assuming its the one on the handle, is something you hold down. It took me a while to figure it out but now that I figured it out it does anything I need it to do. I normally hold it down and then get closer to the metal I'm cutting.

There is a separate small block made to hold the knife. When I am not using the knife and cutting bowl, I stand the bowl on end then put the knife and its little holding block on top.

google it...I think you use a knife or blade with a level as a straight line

There is a small metal piece that will lock the blade to stay open, you have to move it over and close the blade at the same time. This piece is where the blade is when it is closed. Hard to explain, but it's a small ridged piece.

Its to place a finger through when holding. It adds support, especially when using the knife to gouge or skin the blade.

This knife is a back lock knife. You need to depress the metal latch on the spine of the knife and press the back of the blade down. Be careful not to close the blade on your fingers!

It does that when I put downward pressure on the knife. Just use the weight of the knife only. You'll get a good edge and the motor won't grind down. If it does, I'd return it

the knife has a lot going on......don't try to force it......try flipping upside down....I like mine better than my leatherman.

Mine is very secure and would carry the knife upside down. The knife does rattle somewhat, however.

The knife has a hefty spring load to unfold and lock the knife in pace. The "switch" it's simply a sliding lever lock. Simple answer: spring loaded.
