   I shall try to dig up the video clip. Basically, stick the point into   
   something hard, then grip the knife in a forward grip with one of the   
   fingers on or near the liner-lock. Twist clockwise and flex simultaneously.   
   The liner lock will give. Not everytime but often enough for it to be an   
   issue. I have done it just holding the blade in my left hand. With a   
   plethora of other choices I see no reason to take that particular risk.
