The SpeedSafe® assisted opening mechanism will engage, deploying the blade fully. The frame lock will automatically engage, securing the blade in the open position.

Firmly push the lock bar to the side, away from the blade's base, to disengage the lock. Once the lock is disengaged, gently fold the blade back into the handle. Exercise caution to keep your fingers clear of the closing blade path.
- To Engage Tip-Lock: When the knife is fully closed, slide the small black "Tip-Lock" slider located near the blade's pivot point on the spine of the handle. Slide it towards the blade's tip until it covers the tip, preventing accidental opening.
