Frequently Asked Questions

How do assisted-opening knives differ from manual knives?

Open-assist knives differ from manual knives because they have internal spring-loaded mechanisms that allow for rapid, easy deployment. 

These quick-open knives have a finger flipper, thumb stud, or both. When pressure is applied, the blade opens virtually instantaneously with very little effort required.

What's the benefit of an assisted‑opening knife?

Many knife enthusiasts enjoy the convenience of a one-hand-opening knife, as it can be deployed quickly and easily. Not only are they practical, but using AO knives is a lot of fun! The rapid redeployment action is satisfying, and they feel great to operate.

Are assisted‑opening knives safe to use?

Assisted-opening knives have locking mechanisms to prevent accidental opening and are generally safe when used properly, but it’s important to be especially cautious due to the incredibly fast opening action. These are tools, not toys!

When deploying the blade, hold the handle firmly and make sure your fingers are out of its path of travel. We recommend practicing with your assisted‑opening knife regularly so you feel comfortable and confident deploying it in real-world situations.
