A reliable knife does a lot of jobs — cutting tasks, outdoor prep, emergency situations, and as a last-resort self-defense option. Whether you want a compact folding knife for your pocket, a fast-deploying automatic for quick access, or a disguised blade that doesn’t advertise itself, this lineup covers the range. These are practical, functional knives built for people who actually use them.
Every knife ships with the hardware you need to carry it. Automatic and OTF models deploy with a single motion. Folding and assisted-open styles stay legal in more jurisdictions. Check your local laws before you order — blade length limits and automatic knife restrictions vary widely by state and city.

Folding knives and assisted-open models require a deliberate two-step action to deploy, which makes them the safer everyday carry choice in most states. Automatic knives — including OTF (out-the-front) models — open with a single button press, trading some legal simplicity for faster deployment. If you're new to EDC knives, a solid folding blade is the straightforward starting point. If you already know the laws in your area and want faster access, the automatic lineup is worth a look.
Some situations call for a blade that doesn't look like one. The pen knife, comb knife, credit card knife, and plastic brush knife all function as everyday objects while concealing a usable blade. These aren't novelty items — they're legitimate carry options for people who want a backup option that draws zero attention. Blade lengths are shorter on these models, which actually keeps them legal in more places.
Every knife we carry is a functional tool, not a display piece. Blades are 3Cr13 or 440 stainless steel — steels that hold an edge under real use and resist corrosion. Handles are built for grip, not just looks. If you have a question about a specific model before you buy, our team is available. Orders over $25 ship free, and if something arrives not right, we'll make it right.
Q: Are automatic knives legal to buy and carry?
It depends on where you live. Federal law allows automatic knife sales across state lines, but many states and cities restrict carrying or owning them — some ban them outright. Blade length limits also apply in many jurisdictions. Research your specific state, county, and city laws before purchasing any automatic or assisted-open knife.
Q: What's the difference between an OTF knife and a standard automatic knife?
OTF (out-the-front) knives fire the blade straight forward from the handle when you press a button — the blade doesn't fold to the side. Standard automatic knives open with a side-deploying blade similar to a folding knife, just spring-assisted. OTF models tend to be more compact for the blade length and are popular for tactical EDC, but they're regulated the same as other automatics in most states.
Q: What blade steel do these knives use?
Most folding and automatic knives in this lineup use 3Cr13 stainless steel — a solid mid-range steel that holds a working edge, resists rust, and sharpens easily at home. Throwing knives use 440 stainless, which is slightly harder and well-suited for impact resistance. Neither requires special maintenance beyond occasional cleaning and sharpening.
Q: Can I carry a disguised knife like the pen knife or comb knife legally?
In most states, yes — disguised knives with shorter blades fall under standard knife carry laws. However, some states specifically regulate "dirks," "daggers," or knives designed for concealment differently than ordinary folding knives. Check your local statutes. The credit card knife and pen knife have blades under 3 inches, which helps in many jurisdictions, but verify before you carry.
Q: Are throwing knives meant for self-defense?
No — throwing knives are sport and target practice tools, not self-defense weapons. They require significant skill and training to use accurately, and deploying one in a self-defense situation isn't practical or realistic. If personal defense is your goal, look at the folding or automatic knife options in this category instead.
