Beginner question: How to close a Rostfrei
I know this will sound rediculous but this is the first "auto" knife I have ever had. Just got it. Small Italian type stiletto I think. It says Rostfrei on the blade. When I pushed the button blade deployed quickly. NOW, I can't figure out how to close the blade.

Can't seem to make it swivel. Do I have to hold down the button while I do it? Any clips of this?
Re: Beginner question: How to close a Rostfrei
No need to hold down the button (although you may want to hold it down when pushing the blade back into the handle to save wear and tear on the sear pin)
Here is a clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7shXI8EPzMA
It may just be stiff and require a little force to make it swivel until it breaks in a little. If the bottom of the front top bolster is not curved, you have a picklock, which requires manually pulling up the locktab with your finger.
