Spring Assisted Knives – Assisted Opening Folding Knives
Spring Assisted Knives – Fast Opening Without the Complexity
Spring assisted knives—also known as assisted opening knives—offer a perfect balance between manual folders and automatic knives.
With a quick push on the thumb stud or flipper, the internal spring takes over and deploys the blade smoothly and quickly, giving you fast access without the need for a button or switch.
What Is a Spring Assisted Knife?
A spring assisted knife uses an internal mechanism that helps open the blade once you start the motion.
Unlike automatic knives, assisted knives require manual pressure to begin opening, making them widely accessible while still delivering fast, satisfying deployment.
