Every Type of OTF Knife Explained (Which One is Right For You?) Media
Published: 3 hours ago
OTFs are one of the most misunderstood knives in the EDC world.
Most people think they're dangerous to carry, hard to operate, or that they all work the same way. They don't. We're breaking down the THREE different types of OTF knives, how each one actually works, why one is way safer than most people think, and which one is right for the way you carry.
We also cover the side-opening automatics (the "switchblade" most people picture in their head), the legality questions we get asked every day at the showroom, and why double action OTFs might actually be some of the safest auto knives you can carry.
