A little metal tang pops over to the right, in the slot the blade goes in. Push it to the left and close blade.
Some blades you have to push slightly backwards, to allow the springy thing to unlock, it's a safety feature to stop the blade from accidentally closing on you.
I think that was slightly incoherent but try pushing (or pulling) it back PAST wide open. Maybe.

Tried that too. Going to take off belt clip to see if I can get a better grip.
My Adderall appears to be working out Just Fine. If I weren't busy being sick, I would be busy being extremely productive. Sorry you lot, LOL.
Got my kid adderall, went from being a 2.2 student to a 3.8. Amazing stuff.
I have at least 30 tiny screwdrivers and hexes and not a one works. Finally used my nail clippers for a wedge and got them closed.
Will probly have to do that several times to loosen up the metal, I would suggest oiling it too.
Yeah, not a good idea to put my thumb between a blade and anything. Besides I would be so mad if I cut off my thumbnail, my #1 most useful tool.
What is piling?
It is kind of turning out rather well, honestly. I thought I'd hate it because I tried it years ago and decided to stick with a different stimulant which is now utterly unaffordable to me. That was really early on, though, and now that I've been through the rollercoaster of all that stuff, it seems to be working out Just Lovely, and it appears I can take it twice a day, not what felt like 700 times.
I was one of those "dreamy no trouble" ADHD girls, who just sat in the back of the classroom drawing horses and then scaring teachers with my test scores. But, I was kinda an underachiever, until I went to college, but I wish I'd been medicated for Math, I would have wound up being a doctor (which was my real desire) instead of a Social worker. But, since I was "non-troublesome," I was unidentified.
It was only when my pdoc gave me a (weak) stimulant to treat my untreatable by anything except lithium depression that I found out. The husband came up to me and asked "Am I being too hard on you?" (about closing doors, screwing on lids, etc. he was very vocal about my lack of skills there, LOL) and I was like, "Uh, it might be my meds? He gave me something that helps me focus? But it's not the whining, I tune that out Upfront, like a broken speaker," that I figured it out, LOL. Well, my doc confirmed it after hearing about what I did in school. He was like, "Yep, you're too smart, so you just over- under- focused" and I was like "Yep."
I will be THRILLED to be done with the stimulant saga though, because when something works, it WORKS for me.... Until insurance matters come and bulldoze my life. LOL. Ritalin gave me an intense desire to have Adderall work, let me put it that way, glad to hear it worked for your kiddo. I am far from perfect, but can organize okay on the right stimulant. My dad was kinda the same way, he was perfectly happy to "live" by taking clothes out of the dryer, etc., instead of folding them. My mom had some special "magic" to fix him, but her wiles did not work on ME and etc. LOL.

This worked, I am so sweaty now I'll have to go shower.
Or, clipper oil. Use a q-tip to apply to the blade and open and close it half way several times.
Thank you everyone for the help. Swore I ordered a knife with no lock! Looked for those specifically.
It was just an excuse to see my fancy professional week old manicure!
