Hi-just looking in the recent lockback thread and there was much consternation about russlocks and one handed opening.
My easy to follow instructions will soon have you flipping the russlock ambidextrously like a pro. Amaze your friends!Impress the girls!Don't let that beach bully kick sand in ...oooops wrong ad.
first look at the hands in the pics
No tricks -its easy with the Charles Meaklas(completely false name)intensive russlock course.
Dynamic Leverage is the key.
Grip your russlock loosely in your fingers.Use the little finger to grip it firmly against the base of your fingers(near the lifeline)and gripping the lowest point of the bolster. Your thumb should engage the very tippy most point of the lever. In this position the blade should move outwards opening towards and flush with the heel of your palm. There should be no chance of cutting yourself at this stage .Keep going you're nearly there.As the blade opens grip the knife more securely.
You have past the point of no return and the blade should click open. This should all be done in one smooth action.
"I sprained my wrist and its been killing me for 2 days but I can still open my russlocks thanks to Charles Meaklas and "dynamic leverage"." Jon Meakin -satisfied russlock owner.
