If you have been considering purchasing an automatic knife, you may be feeling overwhelmed by all the options available. An automatic OTF, (or switchblade as they are sometimes known as) is characterized by a blade that is released from the front of the knife by using a button or switch.
Amongst those OTF blades, there are two options. Dual and single action. Dual-action OTF blades are both deployed and retracted by using a button or switch. A single-action mechanism uses the button to release the blade and requires manual action to fold the blade back into place. Neither one is either better or worse so it really just comes down to preference.
Now that we understand the basics, let’s cut into the best auto knife for your money.
Tough, durable, and versatile The Skar is a great investment for anyone looking for an automatic OTF blade. Its sleek design features a blacked-out aerospace aluminum handle and a double edge tanto dagger. Its flat and serrated blade edges give it a vast range of use, and its D2 steel CNC construction ensures longevity and durability. At $199.99, it will last you for years to come, and it will quickly become your favored automatic knife.
Rapid is one of the most versatile OTF blades you can get. Constructed with both a flat and serrated edge this knife can stand up to any situation you throw at it. In addition to its versatile blade design, Rapid also features a deep carry clip for safe easy access and a glass breaker. With the latest dual-action design, this knife is ready to spring into action when you need it. Furthermore, it’s made with 400 steels for easy sharpening and stain resistance and at $169.99 you’re getting everything you want in an automatic knife.
Lightweight and discreet, the Kalliope by Tetko is one of the most elegant CNC milled knives available. Computer Numerically Controlled milling allows for greater precision during manufacturing which increases durability. Furthermore, this dual action blade is made of D2 steel which is often used in tools due to its toughness. While this increases the blade’s ability to hold an edge, it also makes it more difficult to sharpen, so it’s important to keep the blade oiled when not in use. Priced at $110, this OTF blade gives you an exceptional bang for your buck.
For an excellent all-purpose knife that is under the $100 price point, the rugged Skale is one of the best options on the market. Small enough to fit on your keychain yet powerful enough to assist you in your daily tasks, the Skale rings up at $89.99. It’s a dual-action, double edge, dagger style OTF blade that is small and easy to use. It’s made of the typical 400 series steel that is easy to sharpen and resists staining.
Hopefully, you feel well versed in the various automatic OTF blades on the market. Now you can take what you’ve learned to get yourself the best OTF knife for your mone
