An OTF (Out-The-Front) knife is a type of automatic knife where the blade deploys and retracts straight out of the front of the handle. Unlike traditional folding knives, the blade of an OTF knife doesn't pivot. Instead, it slides linearly within the handle and is propelled by an internal spring mechanism activated by a button or slider. This unique design allows for rapid, one-handed operation, making OTF knives a popular choice for quick access and specialized applications. Explore the mechanics and advantages of OTF knives and discover why they are a sought-after tool for collectors and everyday users alike.

Discover the classic appeal and rapid deployment of switchblade knives, also known as automatic knives. Featuring a blade that swiftly springs open from the handle with the press of a button, lever, or switch, these knives offer convenient one-handed operation. Our selection includes iconic styles like the stiletto, characterized by its slender blade and often elegant handle, historically favored for its piercing capability and stylish design. Explore the unique swinguard models, distinguished by bolsters that pivot to protect the hand upon blade deployment, often featuring a secure lockback mechanism. For a distinctive and secure operation, consider our leverlock switchblades, which utilize a lever to both open and lock the blade. Whether you're a collector drawn to the rich history and craftsmanship or an enthusiast seeking a reliable and fast-deploying tool, our range of switchblade knives offers a variety of designs and mechanisms to suit your preference.
