HOW DO YOU CLOSE A POCKET KNIFE?

NO LOCK

– Start by holding the knife by the sides of the handle or hilt — grasp the side away from the blade’s edge and point the blade away from your body. – Hold the dull edge of the blade between your thumb and fingers. – Gently press on the dull edge of the blade until the pocket knife is securely closed.

LINER AND FRAME LOCKS

– Locate the liner or frame piece holding the knife open. – Hold the knife by the handle with your thumb against the lock. – Push down on the lock and carefully begin closing the blade. – Ensure all of your fingers are out of the blade’s path as you finish pushing it to a closed position.
