Overview
The Emerson Auto Commander by Kershaw was introduced at the 2009 Blade Show and features the CrossFire Auto Lock design by Grant and Gavin Hawk."Hold the knife carefully in your right hand with your thumb against the CrossFire slider. To deploy the blade, move the slider towards the spine of the knife, then pull it down towards the butt of the knife. With the blade deployed, move the slider left (away from the knife's spine) to lock the blade into place for secure use.
To close the knife, pull the slider toward the spine, then toward the butt, and fold the blade into the handle. Then move the slider up and over to engage the CrossFire Lock."
