Mtech USA Tinite Wharncliffe Spring Assisted Tactical Pocket Knife Gray / Black Ash Marble 3.5"

Mtech USA 3CR13 Stainless Steel Wharncliffe Spring Assisted Tactical Rescue / Pocket Knife Gray with Black Ash Marble Acrylic Overlay MT-A1030GY

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 8" ( 3.5 inch Tinite Coated Blade ) ,and weighing only .31 lb (5.6 oz) due to its weight saving / environmentally resistant Tinite Coated Aluminum Scales means this Spring Assisted Knife exhibits all of the Function for a perfect everyday carry.   

The Blade and Handle of this spring assisted knife both feature 3CR13 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 3.5" Razor Sharp Wharncliffe style blade adds an aggressive undertone that shows this knife means business. Add to all this, a handy Pocket Clip and an and you have a knife that is perfectly suited for many tactical and rescue situations but can also serve perfectly as an EDC Everyday Carry.

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 Stiletto Spring Assisted Knife fits the bill!
