Why Your OTF Knife Keeps Misfiring (2-Minute Fix) Media

Published: 3 days ago

"My OTF is broken." We hear it multiple times a week, through emails, texts, and walk-ins at the showroom. After 10 years of selling OTF knives, we can tell you right now: 99% of the time, it's not broken!

We're walking you through exactly how to diagnose and fix the most common OTF issues: misfiring, blades coming off track, sluggish action, and even completely stuck blades.

We're sharing the same processes we use in-house at EKnives, including the one product that fixes almost everything (and yes, it's going to rub some people the wrong way). We'll show you how to reset your blade, clean out debris, and keep your OTF running like new, without ever taking it apart.Whether you just got your first OTF and it misfired out of the box, or you've been carrying one for years and the action is getting stiff, this is the only guide you need.
