Automatic Knives

AUTOMATIC It's important to first note that these types of knives are restricted to Active Duty Military and Law Enforcement, and federally regulated. Be certain of permissibility in your location including state or local governments and within your reporting bodies. These are folding knives, which open at the push of a button. An especially important feature to have if your disability, occupation or profession has the potential of limiting your mobility or freedom to access a knife through traditional means. The blade is deployed out from the handle side like traditional folding knives, but the blade is spring open assisted to a fully locked position. These are primarily manufactured for Law Enforcement, Military and Government Agency distribution.
