Frequently Asked Questions
Is this knife legal to carry in my state?
Automatic knives have varying legal restrictions by state and locality. Check your local and state laws before purchasing or carrying this knife. Some states prohibit automatic knives entirely while others have blade length or carry restrictions.
How does the double-action mechanism work?
The spine-fire system deploys the blade when you push the firing button forward and retracts it when you pull the button back. Both actions happen automatically with spring assistance for smooth operation.
What maintenance does this OTF knife require?
Keep the mechanism clean and lightly lubricated. Avoid getting debris in the blade channel. The diamond-like carbon coating helps reduce maintenance needs, but periodic cleaning ensures reliable function.
Can the pocket clip be moved to different positions?
Yes, the deep-carry clip is reversible and configured for tip-up carry. You can move it to either side of the handle to match your preferred carry orientation.
What cutting tasks is the CPM-S30V steel best suited for?
CPM-S30V excels at precision cutting tasks and maintains its edge well through extended use. The 58-60 HRC hardness provides excellent edge retention while remaining tough enough for general EDC tasks.
