MTech USA Olive Drab Green Heavy Duty Spring Assisted Bowie Knife 4"

Mtech USA Heavy Duty Xtreme Ballistic Model 440 Stainless Steel Spring Assisted Tactical Bowie Knife with G10 ODG ( Olive Drab Green ) Scales and Matte Black Blade

The spring assisted 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 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 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 !!!

Springing open to an impressive 9" ( 4 inch Blade ) ,and weighing  1/2 lb (8.1 oz) due to its Heavy Duty Stainless Steel Blade and Frame, this Knife is not for the Timid.

The Blade and Frame of this spring assisted knife both feature 440 Stainless Steel Construction providing the longevity and durability found in some of the most expensive cutlery and further add to the utility offered by this Spring Assisted Knife.  The 4"  3mm Thick Razor Drop Point style blade is finished in Matte Black adding an aggressive undertone and a unique look. Add to all this everironmetally resistant and durable G10 Scales as well as a handy Removable Pocket Clip and  Lanyard Attachment Hole and you have a knife that is perfectly suited for everyday use.

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, this Spring Assisted Knife fits the bill!
