Closing the Blade:

To safely close the blade:

• Locate the frame lock, which is a portion of the handle frame that has moved inward to secure the blade.
• Using your thumb, push the frame lock outwards, away from the blade's tang. This disengages the lock.
• Carefully fold the blade back into the handle using your other hand, keeping your fingers clear of the blade path.
• Ensure the blade is fully seated within the handle.

Using the Pocketclip:

The deep-carry pocketclip is designed for right-handed, tip-down carry. To attach the knife to a pocket or belt:

• Slide the clip over the edge of your pocket or belt until the knife is securely held.
• Ensure the knife is positioned so it does not interfere with movement or present a hazard.

• Always sharpen away from your body and wear appropriate hand protection.
