okay guys this is how you open and close
the gerber paraframe
i'm having a lot of difficulties right
now getting my
phone to focus so i apologize
but this is the basic gerber paraframe i
got it on amazon like four years ago
um it's like the ten dollar version it
has like a two inch blade
and so to open it
you just look for the
indentation right there on the blade
while it's folded
and grab the indentation and just open
it just pull it open it's very easy
keep pulling don't be afraid and if you
heard that click
that meant it snapped into place
and this is how you close it and this is
the part that gives people difficulty
let's see if i can get this to focus
yeah so i'm looking at the inside
part of the handle in other words
here's the regular orientation you want
to
look at it from
this vantage point
there you've got the blade here
and under the blade where it starts to
connect with the handle
you have this metal piece right here
and that metal piece is a safety
mechanism
that's keeping the blade from folding so
what you need to do
is simply grab it
and lift it up i see that
it's right there it's blocking the blade
this is where the blade
and the safety mechanism meet
all you have to do is just gently and
i'm not using a lot of force here
lift it up and once you lift it up like
that
just start folding the blade again you
don't use a lot of force don't be afraid
because you shouldn't be afraid because
you don't have to use a lot of force
and then just start folding
and now it's out of the way and you fold
it
right in and there you go
