Select Blade: Identify the desired blade for your task – the clip point for general cutting or the spear point for fine detail work.
Open Blade: Locate the nail nick on the selected blade. Place your thumbnail into the nail nick and apply gentle, steady pressure to pivot the blade outward from the handle until it fully extends and the slipjoint spring holds it in place.
Perform Task: Carefully use the open blade for your intended cutting or piercing task. Always cut away from your body and maintain a firm grip on the handle.
Close Blade: When finished, hold the knife firmly and apply gentle pressure to the spine of the blade. Carefully pivot the blade back into the handle well until it is fully recessed. Ensure fingers are clear of the blade path during closing.
