Automatic Knives

Automatic knives deploy the blade with a scale release, providing the fastest and most convenient opening mechanism. This allows for instant, one-handed operation in situations where speed is crucial.

Laws regarding automatic knives vary widely by location. Many areas restrict ownership, carry, or both. Always check your local and state laws before purchasing or carrying an automatic knife. The American Knife and Tool Institute provides a comprehensive database available here as a resource for the knife community - https://www.akti.org/state-knife-laws/.

Regularly clean and lightly lubricate the pivot and internal mechanisms. Avoid getting dirt or debris inside the handle, and periodically check the tension of the spring. If you notice any issues with deployment, have the knife serviced by a professional. See our full knife care and maintenance recommendations here - https://www.crkt.com/knife-care
