Extreme Ratio

BF1,
How do you unlock?
Great knife, tough, stout, locks up tight, light, easy to carry.
Can't unlock with one hand.

Heck if I know but looks like a liner lock to me from the photo.
I can get my thumb into my Gayle Bradley One using one hand.
? can't with the BF1 ?

EXRTEMA or Extreme ?

Extrema. For the love of Scagel people, it's Extrema.

Is this brand even a good brand? I know nothing about them and most of the models look like something out of zombie hunter catalog.

Its a long standing quality brand.

Its "design philosophy" certain is up to debate, but that is true for any brand.

They make good stuff. The biggest two issues are the thickness of the stock edge inclusive. (Especially around the belly of an edge) and also alot of their knives come with sheaths that just are not compatible civillian clothes.

Check out this terrible sheath.

Did a search and found one just last week from one of my favorite channels. Dutch bushcraft knives.

This model at least doesn't look too bad. But would say it's a special case for use. I would not edc it.

This Rao2 was for a long time thought to be the world’s strongest folding knife. Apparently its point of failure is not the lock, rather the aluminum frame. (It is still stupid strong)

I known these tests are stupid. Skip to 13min to watch failure mode of the Rao2.

Ok, back to the original topic. Since no-one has a has an answer.
Solved:
1. Open/close cycle with two hands a few hundred times.
2. Loosen the pivot (sucker was tight), now I can one hand it just barely.
Guess, I should have hung in there longer.
