Product Description
The Smith & Wesson SWOTF9BS is an out-the-front assisted-opening knife designed for fast, convenient blade deployment without the automatic mechanism found on traditional OTF switchblades. Its slim profile combines an AUS-8 stainless steel dagger blade, aluminum handle, safety lock, pocket clip, and integrated glass breaker.
The 3.6-inch AUS-8 stainless steel blade features a double-edge dagger profile with a partially serrated edge. The combination of plain and serrated cutting surfaces provides versatility for everyday cutting tasks, while the black finish gives the knife a clean, tactical appearance.
The OTF assisted-opening mechanism uses a blade slider to deploy the blade from the front of the handle. A safety lock helps prevent unintended deployment, while the aluminum handle keeps the knife durable and relatively lightweight.
OTF Assisted Opening
Unlike an automatic OTF knife, the SWOTF9BS uses an assisted-opening mechanism. The blade slider engages the internal spring-assisted mechanism to move the blade out the front of the handle. This gives the knife the distinctive OTF format while using a different deployment system than a traditional automatic OTF.
AUS-8 Dagger Blade
The 3.6-inch AUS-8 stainless steel blade features a double-edge dagger profile and partially serrated edge. AUS-8 offers a practical combination of corrosion resistance, toughness, and edge retention for an everyday-use knife.
Integrated Emergency Features
The SWOTF9BS includes a glass breaker at the rear of the handle, adding useful functionality for emergency and preparedness applications. A pocket clip provides convenient carry, while the handle safety lock helps keep the blade secured when not in use.

Knife Depot Take
The Smith & Wesson SWOTF9BS is an interesting alternative to a traditional automatic OTF.

The AUS-8 dagger blade, aluminum handle, safety lock, pocket clip, and glass breaker round out a practical feature set.
Our take: A distinctive OTF assisted-opening knife that combines a 3.6-inch AUS-8 partially serrated dagger blade with an aluminum handle and integrated glass breaker.
