Take a screw driver and slightly bend the metal flange in between the farm so that it aligns with the blade when open. If that doesn't work I gues you need trend it back

Your knife should flip open an lock immediately. With the knife in your right hand and the dimple sticking up use your index finger to open the blade. It should snap into place. Once the blade is open it should lock into place there's a small metal strip that holds it into place when open. Press the strip and the blad can collapse.

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.

First of all the last that two that answered shouldnt have responded if they choose to be so rude. Ignore them. This knife has a liner lock. You push the thin piece of metal ti the side where the blade originally came out of the handle. Good luck!

I assume it's locked up also? I'd contact the maker. They seem concerned that their product works well. They responded to my review about the poorly designed locking mechanism so they might just send you a replacement. Worth a shot!

Yes, the knife locks in the open position, the release in where the blade was, it is easy to open and close one handed while also the lock works exteremly well. This knife was my most trusted tools while on deployment, and was able to handle everything we through at it.

I personally have not come across this problem with my knife. I have put force on the back of it after seeing your question, and it did not unlock.

Maybe, but you have to depress the lockback and hold before putting closing pressure on the blade. Sometimes the lockback switch is stiff and it needs some oil and working in a number of times. I hope this solves the problem. This is a Great knife!!

Once the blade opens and locks, look inside the handle where the blade was contained. Right where your thumb is should be a piece with ridges on it. Push that to the left and it will remove the lock from the blade.

If the lock has slipped to the otherside of the blade you will probably have to get a star screwdriver to open the knife and reset the lock.

When you pull the blade out, it locks. If you're holding the back of the knife away from you (blade in your left hand), the lock is at the base of the blade. You push that down and slowly close the knife. If that doesn't work, you may have a defective knife. Hope that helps!

On the blade end of the handle there should be a little black plastic piece blocking the knife from closing. Push that back to the side it comes from

keep pushing the razor blade back, it will have a few clicks more even after it is already inside. once it has stopped moving it will release the knife blade. the razor blade also has to be completely closed to open and close the knife blade

Sounds like the lock mechanism might be bent. Once it's open it should spring open and stay open until you squeeze it closed and put the lock in place to hold it closed. Are you running your hand or glove over the lock lever forcing it to close and lock when squeezing?

Do you have the scissor locked all the way open? The first few times I used it, it seemed open all the way, but wasn't I had to make a conscious effort to click it open. ( Same as the knife blades.) when the lock engages, it tensions the spring. Good luck

I had the same problem with mine, its just a matter of breaking it in, when I depress the blade lock, (On the back of the knife) I had to relay make sure that it was fully depressed, to release the blade, i just kept working it until it became easier. Little WD40 helped as well. I Love my SOG, its my EDC. Good Luck

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

Unfortunately, as with most, if not all Victorinox folders, the blades do not lock open. Please be careful. This is the main reason I do not rely on these knives in the woods. I just can't afford that kind of accident. My preferred folder in my pack is an Opinel.
