I’m sure you’ve all seen the iconic humble Swiss Army Knife and wondered how it works so many functions into such a small frame. You may have even asked yourself how do you close a Swiss Army Knife? You’ve come to the right place. Here, I’ll tell you how to close your Swiss Army Knife like a pro with a few simple, easy-to-follow steps.
It’s important to remember to handle your Swiss Army Knife with care: don’t put too much force when using it or closing it, otherwise you could risk breaking it. With that in mind, the first step is to find the appropriate locking tool for your model of knife.
For most knives, this is a small latch located in the center of the knife. This latch is designed to rotate and open when pressure is applied. To open the latch, push inwards on each side of the latch simultaneously until it clicks.
Once the latch is open, you can now rotate the handle until the blade folds back into the frame. When it is completely folded in, the handle will lock in place in the open position. Then, simply click the latch back into place. Voila! You have closed your Swiss Army Knife.
If you have a locking knife – like a Victorinox SwissTool – you’ll need to be a bit more careful when closing the knife. Make sure the blade is fully folded into the frame before you engage the locking mechanism. To engage the locking mechanism, simply push down on it with your finger until you hear it snap into place. This will keep the blade from re-opening until you unlock the mechanism.
It’s important to practice this process with your particular knife several times so that you can become comfortable and familiar with the locking and unlocking mechanisms. After a few tries, you’ll have a Swiss Army Knife that you can close like a pro in no time!
The process for closing your Swiss Army Knife is simple and easy. All you have to do is find the appropriate locking tool, push the latch, rotate the handle so the blade folds back into the frame, and click the latch shut. For knives with a locking mechanism, make sure the blade is safely folded into the frame and then engage the locking mechanism. With a little practice, you’ll be a pro at closing your Swiss Army Knife in no time.
