Written by: FZEDC· Hong Kong

A small tab on the blade that you press to flip a folder open.

刀身上的小凸片，按下即可甩开折刀。

A flipper is a small protrusion on the back of the blade that sticks out of the handle when the knife is closed. Pressing it with the index finger swings the blade open, often helped by smooth bearings.

When open, the flipper usually also acts as a guard in front of the fingers.

拨片（flipper）是刀身后部的小凸起，刀合上时会露出刀柄。用食指按压它，刀身就会甩开，常有顺滑的轴承辅助。

刀打开后，拨片通常还充当手指前方的护手。
