List
All Automatic Knives
It's important to first note that these types of knives are restricted
and Federally regulated. Be certain of permissibility in your
location including state or local governments and within your
reporting bodies.
These knives are automatic, which open at the push of a button.
An especially important feature to have if your disability, occupation
or profession has the potential of limiting your mobility or freedom
to access a knife through traditional means.
Most blades are deployed out from the handle side like traditional
folding knives (some models open directly from the top), and the
blade is spring open assisted to a fully locked position. These
are primarily manufactured for Law Enforcement, Military and Government
Agency distribution.
By purchasing an automatic knife from eKnifeStore.com you agree
to the following Federal Laws and regulations.
