Elk Ridge Spring Assisted Knife 3.5in 3CR13 Stainless Steel Drop Point Steel Blade Pakkawood Handle Black/Wood

Elk Ridge Spring Assisted Knife 3.5in 3CR13 Stainless Steel Drop Point Steel Blade Pakkawood Handle Black/Wood. The razor sharp blade is made from 3Cr13 stainless steel and is deployed with the push of a button utilizing the assisted opening system. The liner lock secures the blade once the desired tension is reached and assists in providing a smooth one-handed opening. Once the blade is open the liner lock engages the self closing mechanism and locks in place. A liner lock is defined as a system in which the knife's blade moves against a block preventing unintentional release. Many people like to call this a "spring assisted" knife. Well we just made that a little clearer. The term "spring assisted" in this context refers to the opening system used to release/lock the blade once the desired tension is reached. Because of the tremendous force needed to release a blade from a folder most people find that letting go of the handle trigger initiates the opening action of the knife. It's as simple as letting your fingers press down on the blade/handle button three or four times to achieve a spring assist.
