Falcon KS4525BK Trailing Point Matte Black Spring Assisted Fishing & Hunting Knife 4"
The spring assisted fishing knife is quite a remarkable blade. Developed because of laws and municipalities that bar or prevent one from legally owning and/or carrying automatic switchblade knives, it is the perfect solution!
This Falcon spring assisted knife, in contrast to a standard automatic switchblade knife, is not opened by pressing an activating button (the button is what gets an automatic knife classified as illegal) , it is opened by using the index-open "flipper", which creates a full hand guard when it is open.
The beauty of this spring assisted feat of engineering lies in its pivot area where a wound up internal spring has been nested that assists in the opening of the knife. It is this spring that differentiates this spring assisted knife from its automatic switchblade / OTF cousins as well as the standard folding, manually-opened, lock blade knife.
To summarize the internal spring featured in this knife assists and finishes the opening process once the index flipper is pushed. That's right !!! Once the blade has reached a 30-40 degree angle, it automatically slams open the rest of the way with the force of a switchblade !!!
Springing open to an impressive 8.25" this is not for the timid.
The handle of this spring assisted knife, which features a durable Stainless Steel Frame with Aluminum Scales, provides a Heavy Duty, Secure grip along with an aggressive look. The 4" single-edged trailing point style blade is also made of 440C Mirror Stainless Steel providing the longevity and durability found in some of the most expensive cutlery! Add to all this, a handy / removable pocket clip and you have a knife that is perfect as a utility knife but also can double as a tactical / survival knife that is conveniently suited to most tasks!
As a legal alternative to a push button automatic knife, an impressive unique knife for your collection, or an incredibly useful tool, perfect for daily use, the Falcon tactical spring assisted knife fits the bill!
