OTF & Automatic Knives

The OTF Knife is one of the most versatile, lightweight, and high quality knives on the market. The first out-the-front knife was invented in 1860 and the design has been improved upon over the years to make it even better! Made popular by farmers, hunters and ranch handlers during the industrial era, the easy to use functions and accessibility helped these knives gain traction. By the 1950s, this design was seen everywhere! People could not wait to get their hands on one of these nifty pocketknives.

The design of these automatic knives and switchblades make the knives extremely effective and functional. Most OTF automatic knives come with a glass breaker pommel tool on the end to help get you out of any dicey situations. The trigger switch on the angel blade makes for a quick, one-handed deployment so you can be prepared for self defense in the blink of an eye! There are two versions of this telescoping knife, single action or double action. The single-action knives deploy automatically, but they must be manually retracted. Double-action knives deploy and retract with the flick of a push button slider. Either way, you can't go wrong with a great spring-loaded sliding knife!

Although we wish everyone could have the opportunity to try out these cool blades, out of the front knives and similar spring-assisted weapons are restricted in some municipalities. Please check your local laws prior to ordering a switchblade!
