HOW TO USE:

• Retrieve: Carefully take the Kershaw Valve 1375 from your pocket using the deep-carry clip.
• Open: Place your index finger on the flipper tab located on the back of the blade. Apply light, consistent pressure outward and downward. The SpeedSafe assisted opening mechanism will engage, swiftly deploying the blade to the open position.
• Confirm Lock: Visually confirm that the frame lock has fully engaged. A portion of the handle will shift to securely wedge behind the blade's tang, preventing it from closing accidentally.
• Perform Task: Use the sharp drop-point blade for your desired cutting or slicing task. Always cut away from your body and maintain a firm grip on the contoured handle.
• Close Safely: To close, grasp the knife firmly. With your thumb, push the frame lock bar (the piece of the handle that has moved to block the blade) sideways to disengage it from the blade's tang.
• Fold Blade: Once the lock is disengaged, carefully guide the blade back into the handle recess using your other hand or by gently swinging the knife downwards. Keep fingers clear of the blade path.
• Store: Once fully closed, return the knife to your pocket using the deep-carry clip for secure and discreet storage.
