Is there space between the handle and blade where it folds? I notice a lot of them do thinner sandwich handles, and suspend the blade.

Yes, there is space it's not really a bad knife but the issue I have with it is the lawks system, if it did away with this it would be an exceptional knife. But the lawks system completely locked the knife rendering it a fixed blade. I would seriously consider another crkt product or something else.... Kershaw is not to bad for the price range of these knives.... I guess I was to hard on the m16 but my benchmade, Spyderco, microtech, Kershaw, and other have held up to such abuse.... All in what you want and what you are using it for!

No, it doesn't, but the handle folds down. Mine is about 11and 1/4 " with the handle down.

I'm a little confused here. Is your problem half way up the handle where the handle can be folded for transport or is the problem down at the mower itself? You might give BnD technical a call for help or re-post your question with a little more info. If the problem is at the folding point halfway up, you simply have to use a little brute strength to separate the two sections of the upper portion to allow it to slip on. You might need assistance from another person. Good luck.

Yes, the handle does fold. Although this makes the dryer more compact, it is not as small as a mini dryer. I use my mini dryer when I travel because every bit of space in my suitcase counts. :)

I've never had this problem. The handles don't come off and there's only a small little space between.

Look inside the area at the end of the butt of the blade - the area where the blade is supposed to close into. You will see right in the middle against the back or butt of the blade a metal section that you need to press to the left. Once you press that section inward you will be able to close the blade into the handle. The knife is designed so that metal rib or piece keeps the blade from folding in on you accidentally. Don't worry, it took me some time to figure that out as well. Hope this helps.

Mine doesn't. When I carry it I hold it flat against me with the fold furthest from me open at the bottom and arm hinging through that. Works good.

Inside where the knife folds back in you will see a piece of metal that seems to be blocking the knife from closing. It's silver and serrated it can be squeezed flat against the handle... It should be directly under the belt clip. Looks kinda like it's out of place. It will release the blade

This knife has a thumb release like conventional folding knives that must be "held down" while the blade is folded closed. If your knife is stuck open you should unscrew the handle halves and disassemble it.

From the center of one slot to the center of the next slot is approximately 3/8". I alternated sides when I inserted the blades, so if the slots are horizontal, one blade comes in from the right, the next from the left. That gives a bit more leeway if your handles are extra large. Agree with S.K. Polley... the blade of a butter knife fits nicely.

There is a half circle thumb groove on the bottom side of the knife. You will see a piece of steel that is toothed, move it over to the side of the slat and the blade will fold. Hope this helps!

IMHO yes, the knife has such weight and bulk it is only going to effect the balance point slightly and removing the wrap would actually move it towards the middle.And now that I've been able to play with this knife a little bit longer now, I'd recommend it even a bit more than I did when I reviewed it.

There is a small metal tab inside the slot where the blade folds into. Press against the tab to make room for the blade to slide in.

I got my electric knife out this morning and it did fit between the slots. I did not cut all the way through the bread to the cutting board. I did not want to damage the board. I did have to do a little cutting on the bottom with a regular knife. I did not have to hold the sides steady so it worked out pretty well. Again, be careful with the board. Hope this helps.P. Hirt

Yes, the handle does jiggle slightly. It doesn't interfere with using it, though.

I've been using it for several months & not had an issue with the open bottom. I guess if you wanted to close it in you could cut a piece of cardboard or some material to fit the opening but I really don't see an issue with it. Handling it with normal use, your fingers shouldn't come any where near the blades but to each his own.

the middle of the handle fits pretty snug in the sheath. Unless you're carrying it upside down for an extended period of time, I don't see it being a problem, and let me say, it's an awesome knife for the price!
