HOW TO USE:

1. Removing from Pocket: Grip the knife handle firmly while using your thumb or finger to push the pocket clip against your pocket seam, then pull the knife upward to release.
2. Opening the Blade: Hold the handle securely in one hand. Place your index finger on the flipper tab protruding from the back of the knife (when closed). Apply a quick, firm push downward on the flipper. The SpeedSafe® mechanism will assist the blade in smoothly rotating open until the frame lock engages.
3. Confirming Lock-Up: Visually check that the frame lock has fully engaged, with the steel portion of the handle resting securely against the base of the blade. This ensures the blade is locked open for safe use.
4. Cutting: Use the plain edge blade for your intended cutting task. Always cut away from your body and maintain control of the knife.
5. Closing the Blade: While holding the handle firmly, use your thumb (or another finger) to push the frame lock tab away from the base of the blade. This releases the lock. Carefully fold the blade back into the handle using your other hand until it is fully closed.
6. Storing: Once closed, place the knife back into your pocket or designated storage area, ensuring the blade is fully retracted and secure.
