How do you close this knife? The very first time I opened it, it is stuck in the open position. Trying to press the blade back down does not work.

on the underside of the knife there is a serrated secondary piece of metal; press it in toward the handle and fold the blade down; it is a locking device and apparently you found out it works well and won't release until you release it!! good luck and have a great weekend...

There's a spring clip that locks it open. Look into the slot that the blade folds into. Right up at the base of the knife blade there is a little lever that you can push to the left to release the lock. Cheers.

There is a rigid plate on the inside of the handle. Pull it to the side and push the blade down

The knife slides out of the sheath smooth as butter. I see Kyle had an issue with the spring coming out of the detent but I just looked at mine and I don't think my spring could come out unless I put some serious effort into it. Slides in and out of the sheath very smooth, no need to ever press the button, not to lock it in or take it out (but you can if you'd like)

If you look at the knife from "underside", you will see a grooved metal bar, silver in color. If you push that grooved section to the left (towards the belt clip side of the knife), the blade will be able to close. Please be careful as the blade is sharp.

Haha, a common problem if your not familiar. There is a metal tab that runs along the inside of the handle. Push it to the left then slowly and carefully close the blade forward and shut

There is a button near the blade, inside the handle. Its the lock. Push it and you will be able to close the blade

There is a tab inside of the body of the knife. It will be right by the end of the blade, touching the part that is still inside the handle. This is the blade lock, which is (coincidentally) locking the blade into place. You need to push it to the side to free the blade.

As soon as the mechanism is retracted the blade will fall out of its place in the handle. I also tried to ''flick'' the blade open without use of locking mechanism and was successful in doin so. As far as ''gravitational pull'' opening the blade that's not going to happen it has to be operated manually in some fashion. You won't be disappointed if you purchase this knife, I have not once used it however it's still my favorite knife. Solid construction sharp as a razor, thin ( without the clip) I keep mine in my wallet. Hope this helps!!

There is a tiny switch behind the push bar to close it, That's a lock. Slide that little switch back towards the rear of the knife. the blade is probably locked

I need to open and close my knife one handed. It didn't work for me so I sent it back. It was a shame because I really liked the knife.

not quite a trick. . . if you look in the casing of the knife from the blade side, you'll see a little spring-it has teeth on it. it's bent over to lock the blade in place (keeps it from closing on your hand). push it to the left and fold the blade shut.

Underneath the blade, where the blade closes into, there should be a locking pin. Pull the locking pin to the side and the knife will close.

If you hold the blade upside down and release the lock the blade will fall open. That's how mine came right out of the box. Not sure about loosening or tightening the screws and what affect that will have though as I've never tried. In my opinion this knife is great and worth the try, as you can always return it.

Theres a lock on the inside of the knife. You slide the lock out and close the blade manually.

Well, that didn't happen to me, so I can only guess. Maybe the sheath heated and cooled during transport and has trapped the knife.Or something was jammed into the sheath when the knife was inserted at the factory.My knife slides loose after a firm tug on the strap or handle.Sorry I don't know more.Maybe a call/Email to CRKT might help.www.CRKT.com

Looking at the knife with the blade facing you. There's a rigid thumb slot. Move it to the left and knife will close.
