Tac-Force Black Panther Karambit Spring Assisted Tactical Knife w Glass Breaker 3"
The spring assisted karambit 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 karambit style 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 !!!
Springing open to an impressive 8" and weighing in at 6.7 oz makes this knife great as an EDC ( everyday carry ).
Featuring Jimping Combined with a Stainless Steel Black Frame and Embossed Panther Black Aluminum Scales provides a lightweight, secure grip along with an aggressive look. The 3" single-edged Karambit style blade is also made of 440C Stainless Steel and Finished in matte black providing the longevity and durability found in some of the most expensive cutlery! Add to all this an integrated glass breaker molded into the butt of the knife, a handy / removable pocket clip, as well as a lanyard hole / retention ring and you have a knife that is perfect as a utility knife but also can double as a tactical / survival knife 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, this tactical spring assisted knife fits the bill!
