How To Use

Opening the Blade: Use either the left or right thumb stud on the blade spine to flick the blade open until the liner lock engages with a solid click.
-
Cutting Safety: Ensure the internal liner lock bar is fully engaged behind the blade tang before applying heavy downward cutting pressure.
-
Closing & Carrying: Push the liner lock bar to the side with your thumb and fold the blade safely back into the handle. Adjust the 4-position pocket clip for your preferred tip-up, tip-down, left, or right-hand carry.
