This is the closest you can get to a street legal switch-blade. With spring-assisted technology, the SWAT Special Ops Tactical Knife opens quickly and easily with one hand. This fine edge knife can be deployed using the index finger for a sudden release of the blade by flipping the lever at the top of the knife. Of course, when a job calls for more deliberate actions, you can also open this knife in the traditional way, using the thumb stud. The SWAT SPRING ASSIST Special Ops Tactical KNIFE features a black, high carbon 440 stainless steel razor-sharp blade. A sharp knife is not only more useful than a dull knife, it's also safer to use. With a strong, sharp blade and lightweight aluminum handle, you can make the cuts you want quickly and efficiently. Whether you're finishing up a weekend around the house or heading up a mountain rescue operation, this strong yet lightweight and easy-to-use knife is one that you can be proud to own and will give you long lasting pleasure.
