There is a bar (button) at end of the handle that you press which unlocks blade which then folds in. It's easy to use, but stiff at first when it's new.There is a small knob for your thumb to push open the blade with one hand, which could be helpful in a crisis situation like we sometimes encounter sailing on Lake Erie in strong winds and need to cut tangled lines.Excellent knife for the money Amazon charges. I bought extra for affordable gifts for my nephews.

It's a metal plate that runs along the back of the knife. If you look at the picture that Amazon uses with the blade to the left and the "BG" logo facing you the unlock area is up and to the right of the "BG". It is somewhat firm to push and get it to close. It's also firm to open. Its definitely not a "flip open" knife. It seems like a two hand open and close knife. I can open the knife one handed but it isn't smooth.

The knife locks by opening the knife all the way open until it won't open any more. The lock is automatic, you don't have to do anything. To unlock there is a metal bar just above the G on the BG logo if you look at the picture. The unlock bar is stiff at first but becomes a little easier to use as the knife wears in.

The same piece that moves right when you open it you move it to the left and close the blade at the same time. I use my thumb on right hand and close with my left. The metal is under tension which allows it to go right when the blade is fully extended and lock it.

The blade of this knife does NOT lock, however when held naturally the steel protrusion you see in the picture of the folded knife is held down securely by your thumb.

Very carefully, really when you push the locking mechanism to the side I just close the blade slightly to keep the lock out of the way then with other hand close the blade. I'm sure you are doing the same. They should have a design with a button on the outside.

Yes. When the knife blade or any of the tools are pulled from their storage place in the handle they lock. A small black 'ring' is at the base of the tool handle and when pulled back the blade releases so the knife can close safely.

It's not too bad at all. I just tried it. The lever works in such a way that you don't need to pull both sides at once. You can pull the lock with your thumb and then close the blade with your other hand or against your body. On knives with heavier blades, or on knives that have loosened up a bit the blade may fall as soon as you depress the lock.

It is a frame lock. The mechanism LOOKS like a liner lock, but it is actually part of the frame of the knife.

If you mean does it have a lock button or latch of some kind, then no. You can flick it open, although it's stiff enough that it won't happen on accident. Once the blade is fully open it locks into place for cutting. Then there is a small metal piece that you push with your thumb and the knife can be put back to its carrying position.

The slide lock is on the opposite end of the knife....you probably can get it done without changing hand position from deployment mode. I just flip it around and lock/unlock for convenience. This is not a knife to be used for personal protection, so efficiency never occurred to me.

Hi, this is Mike. I have not had too change out mine yet but did look at it. If you look at the orange cutting head you will see an orange knob type lever. You will then need to slide it all the way to the unlocked position and it has black print to designate lock and unlocked position. Once in unlocked position you will need to grab the orange circular casing that holds the blade then wiggle and pull outward at the same time and it will unsnap from the main unit. The blade and the orange housing are replaced as an assembly to protect you from being cut by the sharp blade. Once that is removed simply snap in the new blade and housing into them main unit and slide the orange lever back to the locked position and you should be good to go. Hope this helps. Thanks, Mike

No, you have to open the multi tool and lock out the blade.In order to close it you have to push in the handle tabs to release to locking mechanism.

My husband bought this knife. He said "no". The blade will snap into the open position, but it does not "lock" like a traditional lock-blade knife does. Hope this helps.

with the knife open and upside down take your finger at the very backend of the blade and push the blade lock over with your finger and itr releases the blade lock

Hello - This is a very nice piece but no, the main blade does not lock. I like mine so well I bought a second for myself and have given a third as a gift. Happy Holidays

I haven't had to mis use the knife so I couldn't say. But I am very happy with it. It feels to me that it stays locked if mine were to come unlocked then I Shirley was misusing it. I carry mine everyday

The blade would break before the lock gave way. It's much like Cold Steel's Triad Lock. There's no way to accidently close this knife. If you ever handle one and try to close it, you'll instantly see what I mean. Get it. It's awesome!
