Got one of these for the truck. The shark design catches some attention, but what I actually like is how smooth the assisted open is and how solid the aluminum handle feels in hand. It's a compact folder that's easy to carry and doesn't feel cheap when you use it.
- Assisted open mechanism — blade deploys fast and locks up solid with one hand
- 3-inch 3Cr13 steel blade — holds a working edge for everyday cutting tasks
- 7.5-inch overall length — compact when closed, full-sized feel when open
- Aluminum handle with flying shark design — lightweight, comfortable grip, and easy to spot in a bag
- Includes belt/visor clip — keep it on your pocket, belt, or clipped to the visor in the car
A Compact Folder That Opens Fast and Carries Easy
Assisted open folders are one of those tools that, once you’ve used one, it’s hard to go back to a standard thumb-stud knife. The spring assist gets the blade out quickly and locks it up reliably — useful when you need one hand free. This one is well-sized for everyday carry: compact enough to clip and forget about, but with a 3-inch blade that’s actually useful when you need it.
The flying shark design is a nice touch. Not over the top, just an interesting profile milled into the aluminum handle that makes it a bit more distinctive than a plain black folder.
Who This Folding Knife Is For
People who want a reliable everyday carry folder that’s easy to get in and out of a pocket without thinking about it. The assisted open is good for anyone who opens packages, cuts rope, or does light utility work regularly and wants a blade that’s ready quickly.
The belt and visor clip makes it practical for people who spend time in a vehicle — delivery drivers, contractors, or anyone who wants a knife clipped to the visor for quick access. The shark design also makes it a reasonable gift option for someone who wants something with a bit more personality than a plain folder.
Is This the Right Choice for You?
Choose this folding knife if you want:
- A fast-opening assisted folder for everyday carry or vehicle use
- A lightweight aluminum handle that won’t add bulk to your pocket
- A distinctive design that stands out from generic black folders
- A belt or visor clip included out of the box
Consider something else if you need:
- A heavier-duty blade with higher-grade steel for demanding work tasks
- A longer blade — this tops out at 3 inches when open
How It Works Day to Day
The assisted open mechanism is the main reason to choose this knife over a standard folder. Press the thumb stud and the spring does the rest — the blade snaps open cleanly and locks up without wobble. For everyday tasks like opening boxes, cutting zip ties, or slicing through packaging, it’s quick and reliable.
The 3Cr13 steel blade is a practical choice for a carry knife at this price. It’s not the hardest steel out there, but it sharpens easily and holds a working edge through normal daily use. The aluminum handle keeps weight down — the whole knife is under 0.25 lbs — so it’s comfortable to carry all day without noticing it.
The clip is solid enough to stay put on a belt or jeans pocket. The visor clip option is handy if you spend a lot of time driving. Available in gray or green — the green version is a bit easier to find if it slides into a bag.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between an assisted open knife and a switchblade?
An assisted open knife requires you to apply initial pressure to the thumb stud or flipper to start the opening — the spring then finishes the motion. A switchblade opens automatically from a button press with no manual input. This matters legally in many states, as switchblades are restricted in more places than assisted open folders. That said, laws vary, so it’s worth checking your local regulations before carrying.
Is 3Cr13 steel good for an everyday carry knife?
It’s a solid entry-level stainless steel that works well for everyday tasks. It won’t hold an edge as long as premium steels like S30V or D2, but it sharpens easily with a basic sharpener and handles typical daily use just fine — cutting boxes, rope, food, and similar tasks. For the price, it’s appropriate and practical.
How does the visor clip work?
The included clip is designed to attach to a car visor, keeping the knife accessible without digging through a bag or console. It’s a spring-tension clip that holds the knife securely enough for normal driving conditions. If you spend a lot of time in a vehicle and want a knife within easy reach, it’s a convenient option.
Does the blade lock open?
Yes, the blade locks open via a liner lock mechanism, which is standard on most quality folding knives. When open, the blade is held firmly in place — it won’t fold back on your fingers during use. To close, press the liner lock tab and fold the blade back into the handle. It’s a straightforward and reliable system.
