Pacific Solutions KS4261BK-1 Spring Assisted Tactical Rescue Knife Brushed Black 3.75"

Pacific Solutions 440 Stainless Steel Spring Assisted Tactical Rescue / Pocket Knife

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 8.5" ( 3.5 inch Blade ) ,and weighing  .30 lb (5 oz) due to its weight saving / environmentally resistant Aluminum Scales ( Including Pocket Clip ) means this Spring Assisted Knife exhibits all of the Function for a perfect everyday carry.   

The Blade and Frame of this spring assisted knife both feature 440 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 Razor Sharp 3.5" Combination Serrated and Razor Tanto style blade adds an aggressive undertone that is also perfect for cutting rope string etc. Add to all this, a handy Pocket Clip, Built in Glass Breaker, and an integrated Seat Belt Cutter and you have a knife that is perfectly suited for First Responder or Military Use.

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 Spring Assisted Knife fits the bill!
