For Knife Newbies - How to Close the Most Common Pocket Knives

If the part that you need to push over to the side (the lock bar) is stuck, you might need to use a hard piece of plastic, or wood, or if desperate use a flat screwdriver, to push it over to the side so that you can begin closing the knife.
