I just received my microtech today and I'd say I'm pretty experienced with knives but trying to deploy it for the first time was impossible without pinching the blade to open it. I've used thumb stud deployers and framelocks before but this one confuses me. It opens only in a specific spot... Any ideas?

Microtech Socom Bravo Mini Deployment Issues
- Thread starter Bonin
- Start date
Had the same issue with the Socom Elite, it wasn't an issue with the knife rather a skill issue on my end. Try wedging the tip of your thumb between the stud and scale, and use the scale as leverage to push the blade out sideways, rather than pushing up. Once I got this technique down I found I was able to pop open my Hinderers with ease too, which up until this point were impossible for me. Here's a pic of my thumb position.
Ah thank you, I wasn't too sure if it was a skill issue but it was lol. I have no issues now!Had the same issue with the Socom Elite, it wasn't an issue with the knife rather a skill issue on my end.
