A solid automatic knife built for everyday utility. The 5-hole handle reduces weight without sacrificing grip, the safety lock keeps the blade secured when you don’t need it, and the stainless steel construction holds up to regular use without babying.
- Side-opening automatic deployment with thumb-slide mechanism
- 3.5-inch stainless steel blade — full-length cutting edge
- 4.5-inch closed length fits comfortably in a pocket or on a belt
- Safety lock prevents accidental deployment during carry
- Lightweight at 0.4 lbs — 8 inches open, 1.38 inches wide
A Working Knife That Does What It’s Supposed To
The 5-hole handle on this automatic knife isn’t decoration — it reduces overall weight while giving your fingers natural purchase on the grip. Pair that with a stainless steel frame and a 3.5-inch blade that opens on command, and you have a knife that’s ready when you reach for it and secure when you don’t.
The safety lock is a mechanical slide that physically blocks blade deployment. It takes one deliberate motion to disengage, which means accidental openings during carry stay off the table.
Who This Automatic Knife Is For
This knife works well for people who want a dependable automatic for everyday carry without a lot of extras. The 4.5-inch closed length fits most front pockets without printing awkwardly, and the 0.4-lb weight means you won’t notice it until you need it.
It’s also a reasonable option for outdoor tasks — breaking down boxes at a job site, cutting cordage on a camping trip, or general utility work where you want one-handed deployment without fumbling with a thumb stud.
Is This the Right Choice for You?
Choose this knife if you want:
- One-handed automatic deployment with a secure safety lock
- A lightweight carry option at 0.4 lbs with solid stainless steel construction
- A compact closed length (4.5 inches) that fits standard pockets comfortably
Consider something else if you need:
- A longer blade for heavy-duty cutting tasks — this is a 3.5-inch working knife, not a camp blade
- Assisted-opening rather than full automatic — check local laws before purchasing any automatic knife
How the Knife Is Built
The blade is stainless steel with a standard drop-point profile — practical geometry that handles most cutting tasks without being specialized. It opens via side-deploy automatic mechanism: engage the safety, push the slide, blade locks open. Retraction is equally straightforward.
The 5-hole handle is stainless steel as well, with the cutouts positioned to align naturally with a standard four-finger grip. At 8 inches open and 1.38 inches wide, the profile stays manageable for most hand sizes. The all-black finish reduces glare and keeps the look low-profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this knife legal to carry in my state?
Automatic knife laws vary significantly by state and municipality. Some states allow automatic knives freely, others restrict blade length, and some prohibit them entirely for civilian carry. It’s your responsibility to check your local and state laws before purchasing or carrying any automatic knife. A quick search for your state’s knife laws will give you a clear answer.
How does the safety lock work?
The safety lock is a mechanical slide built into the handle. When engaged, it physically blocks the deployment mechanism so the blade cannot open even if the trigger is activated. To deploy the blade, you disengage the safety with a deliberate thumb movement, then activate the opening mechanism. This two-step process prevents accidental deployment during pocket carry.
What is the difference between the 5-hole handle and solid handle models?
Both knives share the same blade length, overall dimensions, and safety lock mechanism. The primary difference is the handle construction. The 5-hole handle removes material from the stainless steel frame, reducing weight slightly and providing natural finger registration points. The solid handle offers a more traditional look and feel. Both are equally functional — it comes down to personal preference in grip style.
Does this knife come sharp out of the box?
Yes, the blade arrives with a factory edge suitable for general cutting tasks. Like any knife, the edge will benefit from periodic honing with a quality sharpening tool to maintain optimal cutting performance. Stainless steel holds an edge reasonably well under normal use conditions.
