Opening and closing these types of blades needs to be done correctly to ensure your safety and the protection of the blade. These knives are not manual folding knives that have to be pulled out each time. Snap-on knives have a switch or snap button on the spine of the handle right where the blade meets the handle. To open the blade, you need to hold the knife away from your body, and with one hand, if you hold it with two hands, then your other hand might get poked as the blade flicks open.
Then, with your index finger, push down on the snap, and with your other fingers out of the way, the blade will fling open and lock into place.

Kershaw frame-lock folding knives have an automatic flip-open mechanism and a manual close feature. To open the blade, you need to hold the blade away from your body and hold it with one hand. Your index finger will trigger the button; as mentioned before, the other fingers must be out of the way so that the blade can spring open without restriction. When the blade is fully extended, the frame lock should slide into place behind the blade, locking it firmly in place. To close the blade, all you need to do is flip the knife over so that you can see the interior of the knife and slide the frame lock to the left until the blade is released.
Then using your index finger again, push the blade closed while watching that your other fingers are not in the way. This is by far the most popular type of locking mechanism in the world.

To open the knife, hold the knife in one hand and point it away from your body. Then with your index finger, push down on the snap or switch button with your other fingers out of the way, then the blade will fling open and lock into place. You must push the liner lock to one side to let the blade move freely to close the blade. Flip the knife onto its back, and then push the liner out of the way with your thumb. After that, you can push the blade closed with your index finger.
There is a small indentation on the blade into which a tiny steel ball on the frame or liner lock fits as the knife is opened or closed. This provides friction and a light "stop" that biases the knife to the closed position and ensures controlled open and close.
