How a spring assisted folder works

In a spring assisted knife, a small spring helps the blade finish opening after you push it a short way with your thumb or a flipper. Once open, the blade locks in place until you release it. That gives you a quick, one-handed draw without the full motion of a manual folder. It is a handy feature for work, camping and everyday carry.

Black blades, G10 handles and rescue styles

The Spring Assisted Black Blade Stainless Folding Knife at $21.97 has a dark finish that hides scratches. The Spring Assisted Tactical Folding Knife Black is the same price and has a plain, no-fuss look.

If you want more grip, the Resilient Stainless Spring Assisted Folding Knife G10 Handle and the Tough Spring Assisted Folding Knife G10 Handle are each $22.97. The Tactical Spring Assisted Rescue Folding Knife is $21.97, and the Finger Grip Stainless Spring Assisted Folding Knife has grooves for your fingers.

Choosing a folder that fits your hand

Start with how you carry. A pocket clip keeps the knife where you can reach it, so check that the clip sits on the side you prefer. Handle material changes the feel, since G10 is textured and stays secure when wet while metal handles feel slicker. A black blade looks sharp and cuts glare, while stainless is easy to wipe clean. Because rules about spring assisted knives vary by city and state, look up the local laws before you buy or carry.

Who these folders suit

A spring assisted knife is a good fit for people who open boxes, cut cord and tackle small repairs all day. Campers keep one in the glove box, and commuters carry one on a keychain or in a bag. At this price range it also makes an easy gift, since you can buy two and keep one in the car and one at home.

Care for a folding knife

Lint and grit collect around the pivot, so blow it out now and then. Add a drop of oil to the pivot to keep the opening action smooth. Do not force a stuck blade, and let it dry fully before you close it.

Rules to check before you carry one

Local laws differ on spring assisted knives, so read the rules for your city and state before you carry one in public. Most of these folders also have a lock, which holds the blade open while you cut.

Close the blade with your fingers clear of the edge, and keep the pivot clean so the assist stays smooth. Keep the knife away from children, and store it closed when you are not using it.
