Assisted Opening Survival Knives
An assisted opening knife uses an internal spring mechanism to fully open the blade once it has been partially opened by the user. Easy to use with just one hand, this may quickly become your favorite knife.
When the knife is in the closed position, the blade is held in place by means of 1 or 2 torsion bars. As the user applies manual pressure to the thumb-stud to open the knife, a mechanism such as a torsion bar moves along a track in the liner and rotates the blade into the open position
These assisted opening knives are not switchblades, which open with the push of a button, these assisted opening knives require the use of pressure at the flipper or thumb-stud to open. Once the blade has been opened about a quarter of the way the spring mechanism will open it the rest of the way.
Assisted opening knives are a perennial favorite for their easy use and extra measure of safety. An assisted opening knife is a great for daily use. Compact and easy to carry, they will go anywhere you go.
You also have the additional reassurance that once closed these knives will stay closed. This gives you the confidence to carry it in your pocket or with your survival gear. It is very unlikely that your assisted opening knives will ever open in you pocket or your kit.
We stock assisted opening knives from Buck, Columbia Knives, Gerber, Kershaw, SOG and Smith and Wesson. As with any precision manufacture tool, for best results and long life always keep your knife clean and very lightly oiled.
Titanium nitride:
Sometimes known as “TiNi”, it is an extremely hard ceramic material, often used as a coating on titanium alloys, steel, carbide, and aluminium components to improve the substrate's surface properties. Applied as a thin coating, TiN is used to harden and protect cutting surfaces. It also imparts a non-reflective finish.
