Can this knife be locked into a closed position with no blade sticking out?

Yes the blade can be retracted so no blade is exposed although the mechanism isn't actually locked.

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.

Yes. I just tried it. The knife will go into the sheath with the blade facing either direction..

That would happen of the bade is too tight. A little bit of loosening up and a spot of oil does the job but I find that the initial groove does not hinder the knife opening later. This is because it is not an assisted opening and kept quite tight.

If you look in the inside at the back of the knife you should see a little tab. If you push that in the knife will close. I hope this helps.

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!

If a knife blade sticks out, just angle it instead of having it stick straight up. Then the blade will not be above the top of the base.

No. There is a small slider on the outside opposite the clip that you have to slide up to unlock the blade for closing. You can see it in the product picture.

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

I have never tried but I think the slot fits but you cannot close the knife with the filled blades in it.

There is a little groove with ridges in the area it closes shut at. It is quite tough just an FYI but I suggest using your thumb and you just pull enough on it until you can pull the blade From the locking position ( its easy to see when its unlocked) Then voila!!!

There is a spring in the handle that will lock the blade in the open position. It is located in the cutout area of the handle. Just push the spring to the side and the blade can then be closed into the handle. It is similar to a knife which the blade is locked in the open/extended position.

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.

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.

inside the knife, near where the blade enters the handle of the knife, when the knife is open, there is a rigged part that is in-line to the blade... you push that to one side and the blade will close...

You might be able to unscrew it. However it doesn't stick out far and i like it, but beware if you plan on using the knife holder mine came attached, but it was on up-side-down and there is no way you can turn it right side up so, any knives put in it would obviously fall out.

There is a small tab below where the blade ends. You have to press this to the side to allow the blade to close. It is the locking system for the blade and keeps it open. Make sure it is pressed all the way to the left before you push the blade back. If that doesnt work, I am not quite sure what would be weong with it.
