Six ways to open a multi-functional edc lockback knife

     Using each of the fingers with the thumb used twice, we can open a small lockback knife like this Cold Steel Micro Recon 1 Spear Point . This is a micro functional edc knife with the blade measuring only 2 inches. What separates it from other lockbacks is that is has what is called a 'Triad Lock' which makes sure that the blade will never disengage when deployed and used. Its like you've got a full tang knife in your hands, not worrying that the blade will suddenly or accidentally fold and cut your fingers. A tanto version is also available here. It can be used as a keychain knife, a survival kit knife, or a back-up knife. 


     The pinkie had a little bit of difficulty opening it but its persistence pushed it through. One hand closing is also demonstrated either with the blade pointing up or down. Notice the rubber ring at the bottom of the knife? it is used for 
  1. Pulling out the knife from the pouch.
  2. Extending the grip to the pinkie, making it more maneuverable.
  3. Making sure the knife will not fall from the hand while in use.
  4. Used for hanging or attaching the knife to something.
  5. Spinning the knife or rocking it back and forth in your index finger while you are privately relaxing at home or passing time in your camping trip. Your knife then functions like a fidget spinner, a stress reliever and anxiety calmer.
     Such a great addition for your edc.
