Tac-Force EMS / EMT Spring Assisted Rescue Knife Black with Wood Scales 3.5"
The spring assisted EMS tactical rescue / survival 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 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 8.25", this Rescue Knife is not for the timid.
The textured anti-slip handle of this spring assisted knife, which features a durable Stainless Steel Frame with Pakkawood Scales, provides a secure, lightweight grip along with an aggressive look. The 3.50" single-edged bayonet-style blade and is made of 440C Stainless Steel providing the longevity and durability found in some of the most expensive cutlery! Add to all this, a handy / removable pocket clip as well as a Glass Breaker and a Seat Belt Cutter and you have a knife perfect 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 Super Knife rescue / tactical spring assisted knife fits the bill!
