OTF Knives
An OTF knife — out-the-front — deploys the blade straight through the top of the handle. Slide the thumb switch forward, the blade fires out the front. Pull it back, the blade retracts. That linear action is what makes an OTF mechanically distinct from every side-opening automatic on the market. The blade doesn't swing. It drives. And that difference changes everything about how the knife carries, deploys, and handles in real-world use.
We carry both double-action and single-action OTF knives across a range of blade lengths, handle materials, and price points. Double-action models deploy and retract with the same thumb slider — the most popular configuration for everyday carry. Single-action OTFs fire the blade out under spring power but require a manual reset, trading convenience for stronger lockup and greater deployment force. Whether you're looking for a compact EDC out-the-front knife or a full-size tactical OTF, understanding which action type fits your use matters more than any brand name on the handle.
