HOW TO USE:

• Opening with Thumb Disk: To open the knife manually, place your thumb on the textured disk located near the spine of the blade. Apply firm, steady pressure with your thumb while rotating the blade outwards from the handle until it fully extends. You will hear and feel the frame lock engage, securing the blade in the open position.
• Opening with Emerson Wave Feature®: For rapid deployment, orient the knife in your pocket with the Emerson Wave hook facing upwards and towards the seam of your pocket. As you draw the knife out of your pocket with a firm, upward motion, the Wave hook will catch on the pocket’s edge, automatically opening the blade as the knife clears your pocket. Ensure a firm grip on the handle during this action.
• Using the Knife: Once the blade is open and locked, you can use it for various cutting tasks. Always cut away from your body and maintain awareness of the blade’s sharp edge.
• Closing the Knife: With the knife in your dominant hand, locate the frame lock. Use your thumb to push the locking bar (part of the stainless steel handle) outwards, away from the base of the blade. While holding the lock open, gently fold the blade back into the handle with your other hand or by carefully rocking the knife until the blade safely seats in its closed position. Always ensure fingers are clear of the blade path.
• Pocket Clip Use: Attach the knife to your pocket, belt, or gear using the reversible pocket clip. The clip is set for tip-up carry and can be moved to either the right or left side to suit your preferred carry method.
