HOW TO USE:

• Deployment: To open the knife, gently push down on the flipper tab located on the spine of the closed blade, or push out on the thumb stud. The SpeedSafe assisted opening mechanism will engage, swiftly deploying the blade to its locked position.
• Grip: Hold the handle firmly. The double finger contour is designed to provide a secure and comfortable grip for various cutting tasks. For detailed work, you can place your index finger on the deep contour towards the back of the blade spine to “choke up” on the blade for improved control.
• Cutting: Use the sharpened edge of the blade for your desired cutting application. The clipped spear-point design offers good tip control for piercing and precision cuts.
• Closing: To close the knife, push the frame lock bar, which is part of the handle, to the side. This will disengage the blade from its locked position. Carefully fold the blade back into the handle until it is fully closed.
• Carrying: Utilize the reversible pocket clip to secure the knife in your pocket. The clip can be set for either right or left-handed, tip-up carry, making it convenient for personal preference.
