Tac-Force Black Karambit Spring Assisted Tactical Rescue Knife w Seat Belt Cutter & Bottle Opener 3"

Tac-Force TF-972BK Black 440 Stainless Steel Karambit Spring Assisted Tactical Rescue Knife w Seat Belt Cutter

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 5.5 oz ( .33 lb )makes this knife great as an EDC ( everyday carry ).

The textured anti-slip handle of this spring assisted knife, which features a Stainless Steel Matte Black Frame with Orange and Black Aluminum Scales combines Jimping and Weight Saving Cutouts to provide a Lightweight, Secure grip along with an Aggressive look. The 3" single-edged Karambit / Combination style blade combines a Serrated and Straight Razor with Grip enhancing Jimping and is also made of 440C Stainless Steel and Finished in Matte Black.  This makes the knife Excel and Rope Cutting and also provides the longevity and durability found in some of the most expensive cutlery! Add to all this, a handy Integrated Bottle Opener / Removable Pocket Clip, Seat Belt Cutter, as well as a lanyard hole / Retention Thumb Ring and you have a knife that is perfect as a Utility Knife but also can double as a Tactical / Survival knife 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, this tactical spring assisted knife fits the bill!
