There should be something you can pull on to retract the blade or release the tension or lock on it to put it back in.

If it's this style of knife those pieces of trim that stick out where the blade pivots. that piece on the same side as the button pivots upwards and locks it open, if you pivot that piece of trim it will unlock the blade and allow it to fold.

Fuck! I had a knife exactly like that one above and I lost it today. I loved it too, it was very good.

[Big_Tchapolini]

If its that kind of switchblade then yea the trim is what pivots. Most switch blades with single tortion springs you only need to hold the button down and fold it.

[Flamin_Pyro]

there should be the button you press in order to open it, just hold that down while you put the blade away

While on the subject, I got a switchblade in Italy a few days ago(I'm on vacation, right now I'm in Germany). It cost me 110 Euros(not cheap, like 120 American dollars). I got what I paid for though, a nice damascus steel blade, beautiful wooden handle, and it's well constructed.

How are you going to get that bitch home ? they may seize it at the airport. They sell these Italian switch blade knife kits I want to get one but they mention it could get seized by US customs.

One of my friends brought back 2 butterfly knives, and 3 pounds of illegal fireworks from Germany, so sometimes it may not be so hard to bring back stuff, even though I wouldnt risk myself doing that.

My switchblade functions as an awsome letter opener. http://www.totse.com/bbs/biggrin.gif (http://www.totse.com/bbs/biggrin.gif)

I don't really like switchblades that much i think that the blades break to easly.I would rather have my four inch butterfly.

risky). I decided to ship the fireworks because they are unique and fairly diffrent

from American fireworks. And yes, I know that you can buy fireworks in Alabama which is where I get most of my fireworks.

I hope to god you never get a gun.

Autos are mostly toys for posers, but if you must have one, get a Boker Top Lock and have a knifesmith put a good spring in it.

Moi, I'll stick with my Gerber Covert folder (designed by Fairbairn-Applegate) until I have the bucks for a Spyderco Civilian.

The only knife endorsed by Hanibal the Cannible Lector!

They are sweet blades though. I recently bought a spyder-card. It's tricky to pull out in a emergency but I can take it into a club without hassle.

How the fuck are you scared of getting caught? What were you thinking? I mean thats kinda sad. All you need to do is put your seeds in a few 1 inch "dime bags" and then tape them to your nuts or sumthing. I dont understand why people are scared or airport security, its really not that tight. The drug dogs will not smell around 2 grams of pot unless its super good stuff that reecks(sp)..... People are afraid of drug dogs. What a motherfucing joke. They cant smell through a dime bad thats under your clothes or in your pocket. Unless of course its like half quarter or more...

peace

and btw- why do you all like switchblades so much? I think they are good but they seem to all be made low quality. Correct me if im wrong, they are usually cheaply made that snap or break or shit.

OFF TOPIC:

Get a good replica pellet pistol like a berreta 92 fs or something to that effect. (Ive got a walther ppk and a crosman 795 http://www.totse.com/bbs/smile.gif (http://www.totse.com/bbs/smile.gif) they are pretty nice but I wish the ppk had more power. I wish I could afford that nice sweet 92 fs...... *DROOL*)
