Mantis Knives Vicious Circle Neck Knife Black/Abalone

The Vicious Circle is an unusual folding knife that functions in a suprising way. When the knife is worn by the neck cord, firmly grasp the circular handle with the forefinger and thumb. By pulling downard and twisting at the same time, the blade will swing open and lock, as it hits the end of its travel. Continuing the downward force will seperate the blade from the bail, allowing the open knife to be deployed independently as needed. Closing the blade is made possible by first applying pressure on the delocking lug, while folding the blade into the handle. To reattach the bail, the bail must be inserted counterclockwise until seated around the pivot point, then swung closed until clicking into place. The Vicious Circle is now complete. Make sure that the loop on the neck cord is kept small to prevent disengagement. The end with the hook allows you to adjust the length of the neck cord.
