Thus, the product offers a quite similar design to the axis lock, with a curved blade that has certain indentations on its tail. With these, the blade can easily snap into the locking mechanisms whenever you pull it out straight. And to unlock the blade, you just simply press on the metal compartment on the back of your blade. This releases the blade, allowing you to easily fold it back onto the frame. The back lock is extremely useful and convenient in normal cutting jobs with your pocket knife.
The easy and secured locking mechanism makes it a great product for most users. This, makes it more secure while using. But still, it would not work well as the other fully-locked blades. The design is mostly found on multi-purposes products such as a switchblade and the likes. That being said, the following information includes intuitive instructions to help you close your pocket knives safely and effectively.
Here are the important steps that should be followed, if you wish to close your pocket knife easily. Start by holding the knife properly in your preferred hand while securing the handle with your entire palm to ensure the best grip.
Put your index finger and the thumb on the opposite sides of the handle, the other fingers would be holding on to the rest of the handle. With this hold, your thumb and index finger will provide great support to the palm, allowing you to hold the knife firmly.
Place the pointy nose of the blade away from you and align the sharp edge to face upward. Keep this hold as you move on the unlocking step. And with your entire palm, properly secure the knife, so you can begin to loosen up the lock.
Depending on particular products that feature different locking mechanisms, there are different ways to unlock your devices.
Our guide will provide the exact instructions to close different types of pocket knives. Liner lock and frame lock — keep your current hold of the knife, then use the other hand to access the liner lock on your knife. Depend on the designs, the lock can be on both the back or the front of the handle. To unlock it, you just need to slide one or two of your fingers into the gap and push out the liner lock.
While holding down the lock with your fingers, slightly push the blade off its fixed position with the inner edge of your other palm. This would loosen the blade and allow it to be folded. Axis lock — while holding the knife in the right position, use your other hand to press down the axis and loosen the lock. Perform the same folding action with your palm. This would unlock the blade and let it fall easily. Release your hold on the axis to allow it to slide back to position, then continue closing down the blade.
Lock back — for the lock-back design, you only need to use one hand to open the lock. Simply press your thumb against the switch with your current hold on the knife and it will release the blade from its lock.
Then use your other hand to slowly push the blade back to its cover. Snap joint — keep securing the knife with one hand, and use the other hand to push the blade off its snap joint. Do it slowly and steadily as you loosen the blade. Start by changing your hold on the blade keeping all the fingers away from the front of the handle to avoid hurting yourself. Slowly push back the blade with your other hand as you close the pocket knife.
Finish when you hear the snapping sound from the blade onto the handle. This ensures your safety when using the knife, especially if you plan to pass it on to others. Hence, you should always remember to fully push the blade into its handle. And only stop when you can feel that the snap joint is locked. There are multi-tools with multiple angle gauges and drill-sizing holes that would suit carpenters and people in other building trades.
There are multi-tools that are more focused on camping, hunting , or survival, incorporating everything from axe heads to fish hooks. These range from sets that include a similar but even smaller tool to go on a keyring, or those that include a carabiner, money clip, emergency whistle, and fire-starting rod. Inexpensive: The cheapest credit card multi-tools are found in packs of ten, which you can get for less than a dollar each. There are usually one or two items of little practical use, blades need sharpening, and steel can be thin.
While you do pay a small premium for the big-name brands, these are also superbly made and, for many, worth the investment. That depends on the size of your wallet! Some manufacturers tell you their tool is Transportation Security Administration TSA compliant in the product description, some provide information on their websites, but it will always be at the discretion of airport security personnel.
It is perfectly okay to put one in your checked luggage , though. Strictly speaking, it should mean that the tool can be used for firearms or other military equipment purposes.

Before Spyderco was founded, Glesser created something called the Portable Hand pictured below.
The first market for the Portable Hand was the circuit-board assembly industry, but people also bought it for a wide range of uses in industry and the home. High performance, then and now, was what Sal wanted to provide in whatever products he sold. I also did a lot of digging through Blade Forums when I was looking for information about Spyderco, and it seemed like many people thought the spider logo looked more like a tick than a spider.
From what I gathered, Spyderco thought a realistic-looking spider might appear too aggressive and could potentially give a negative connotation to the company.
