Frequently Asked Questions
Is this knife legal to carry?
Automatic knives have varying legal restrictions by state and locality. Check your local and state laws before carrying. Some states prohibit automatic knives entirely while others allow them for military, law enforcement, or with proper permits.
What makes the AXIS mechanism different?
The AXIS mechanism uses a spring-loaded bar that moves forward and back rather than side to side. This allows for ambidextrous operation and creates a stronger lock-up than traditional liner locks.
Does the serrated edge require special sharpening?
Serrated edges maintain their cutting ability longer than plain edges but require specialized sharpening tools or professional service when they do dull. The serrations on this blade are designed for cutting fibrous materials.
Can I remove the pocket clip?
Yes, the deep-carry clip is removable and reversible for tip-up carry on either side. The clip position cannot be changed to tip-down carry.
What comes with the knife?
The 5700SBK includes a MOLLE-compatible Cordura sheath for tactical gear integration. The knife also features a lanyard hole for additional retention options.
