Spring Assisted Hunter & Survival - Items tagged as "Over 4" fixed blade"
This type of spring assisted knife is may include camouflage, paracord, gut hooks, or jimping designed to enhance a hunter or survivalists craft. Due to the intended use these knives are normally made from a thicker stainless steel giving them a reliable heavy duty / heavy weight feel while also adding resiliency to outdoor elements. Compared to it's push button cousins these knives are opened by pushing an index-open "flipper" or thumbstud.
