Every guy has a little trouble getting it up sometimes, perfectly normal, especially as you age.

Thanks, this makes me feel better about my "knife" problem. I'm going to show this to my girlfriend too.

Infidel is a classic, I have the 3300 blk in D2, wish I had waited a month or so to get the special edition one though.

My OTF stopped firing out well and pulling on the blade didn't help. I assumed it had gunky internals and I sprayed Gun Scrubber inside. Snappy firing returned, problem solved!

When I first got my switchblade the first thing I did was do the thing it was made illegal in most states for to a plastic bottle, and that is pushing the button and having the blade "shoot" into the target. The absolute heart attack I had when it went limp, and then simultaneous stroke of genius to violently shake it and thereby fixing it was a humbling I didn't know I needed.

Everytime I see this guy I briefly wonder why a Walmart employee is reviewing knives. The logo just gets me

[EzioAuditore]

Whoever cant figure this out on their own should stay away from sharp objects let alone use an automatic otf

[bensorensen]

I think a lot of people know this trick but good reminder

[DanielFewell]

Thank you sir very helpfull fixed my knife with the flick

[aholesahole]

I have the same Infidel. Awesome knife.

[RealLeviJeanCans]

You can also close it by bumping the back end on your leg

[METAACEX]

I didn't think the flick would work but it did first try thanks man!🤘🤘

[stevennewsome]

I remember the first time I did that with mine. I INSTANTLY panicked lol.

[thedailyknifearchives]

Will flicking it open possibly void a microtech warranty???

[MysticMountainNebula]

Would 3-in-1 oil be good for lubricating an OTF Knife? Not trying to attract gunk

[MrAgentEcho]

Or you can bang the base on a solid surface. It causes the blade to retract and lock into the knife.

[thejacket]

Is it harder to pull the blade knife or close the blade

[bigpimpin]

Every otf ive seen gets stuck like this afyer about 2 days

[rachaelsullivan]

So I have almost or even the exact same knife from Benchmade and it’s consistently not opening all the way. It works correctly about 1:5 times. Is there anything I can do to get it back to how it was or has it just been too beaten up?

[Jackedhobbit]

What if your otf has regular failure to fully deploy?
