How to Operate a Classic Italian Switchblade Knife You Tube Video.  Here is a video link that you can follow to help you open and close that Classic Italian Switblade Knife. Click here to watch the video!  We have a grand selection to choose from here at Horizon Outdoors and are always striving to find better ways to assist you on how to operate and care for your knives.  If your Classic Italian Switchblade Knife seems to open a little slow or doesn't have that *CLICK* you think it should have, here's a suggestion.  Most automatic knives when new need a little work to get them going to their fullest potential due to sitting through storage, shipping, etc...and some are even stored in heavy oil which can really slow them down.  The following is maintenance you should do on ANY automatic knives you own.  New or old.  Just flush them thoroughly with WD-40 cleaning them out well.  Tap them against your hand removing all WD-40 and any access oil, lint, debres, etc... You may want to repeat this process two or three times depending on how much oil, etc...was in the knife.  Once good and dry, use a little silicone based lube such as QuickRelase, Tuff Glide or steel lube.   NOT OIL.  Never use oil on automatic knives because that collects dust and can just slow them down.  It's great for storing knives in a wrapped environment for long term but not out there for every day use.  A lot of knives come preoiled and you want to get that out of there before pocket carry or displaying it where it will collect dust.  You can buy the Tuff Glide or steel lube at about any knive/gun store and we'll soon be carrying Quick Release here on this site or you can purchase it on line.
