It’s a lot easier, and seems safer after reading the instructions, to step on the bottom, twist your palm away from your body, grab the top and rotate your palm back toward your body while lowering your hand. The blad will form into the 3 loops while closing on it self. Add a twist tie if you wish to secure it.
