Spring assisted knives are great self defense knives. The spring assists with the opening function of the blade with out flicking your wrist or pushing  a button like a “Switch blade.”

Spring assisted knives are legal in most states.

The fact that you manipulate the blade to open the knife makes it legal and not like the switch blade or the butterfly knife / balisong were both knives can be opened without touching the blade at all.

I highly recommend Spring Assisted Knives as for an every day carry type of knife.

  • Clips to your Pocket
  • Blade Draws out Extremely Quick with little Effort
  • One-Handed Opening
  • Legal alternative to Switch blade knives
