Using this Gerber knife is easy. To open the blade, use the dual ramped thumbstuds for a quick one - hand opening, whether you're right - or left - handed. The pocket clip can be set to carry the knife tip up or tip down according to your preference. When closing, make sure to disengage the plunge - lock safely. For safety, always use the cross - bolt safety when not in use. To maintain the knife, clean the blade with a dry cloth after each use. Avoid using it on hard materials that could damage the 420HC blade. Store it in a dry place to prevent rust, especially as the handle is made of glass - filled nylon.
