MTech USA Gray Tinite Coated Cleaver Spring Assisted Stainless Steel Pocket Knife w Rainbow Accents 3.5" MT-A1078GY

MTech USA Gray Matte 440 Stainless Steel Sheepsfoot / Cleaver Spring Assisted Knife with Tinite Coating and Rainbow Accents

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!

The spring assisted knife, in contrast to a standard automatic switchblade knife, is not opened by pressing an activating button or lever (the button / lever 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. Once the blade has reached a 30-40 degree angle via a manual push of the flipper, the spring is activated causing the blade to slam open the rest of the way !!

Springing open to an impressive 8", this Spring Assisted Cleaver Knife is the perfect size for an everyday carry.

The handle of this spring assisted knife, which features a durable Stainless Steel frame with Aluminum Scales and Textured Multi Color / Rainbow Accents provides a secure, lightweight grip along with a smooth look. The 3.5" single-edged razor Sheepsfoot Cleaver style blade is Gray in Color with a Tinite Coating giving it a Unique Satin Finish.  The Blade is also made of 3CR13C Stainless Steel providing the longevity and durability found in some of the most expensive cutlery! Add to all this, a handy / removable pocket clip / Lanyard Attachment Hole and you have a knife that is perfectly and 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 Spring Assisted Knife fits the bill!
