Same fast automatic deployment, different handle — this one's a solid stainless steel grip with full hand contact from top to bottom. If you prefer a handle that fills your hand rather than one with cutouts, this is the one to go with. Safety lock keeps it closed until you're ready, and the blade locks open when deployed.

  • Automatic side-deploy action — one-button open, fast and positive with a solid lock-back
  • 3.5" blade with 8" overall length — practical everyday utility size
  • Solid stainless steel handle — full grip surface, no cutouts, substantial feel in hand
  • Safety lock — keeps blade secured in closed position
  • Compact 4.5" collapsed length — pocketable without adding much bulk

Full-Grip Handle, Fast Deployment

Some people prefer a handle with cutouts for weight savings and finger indexing. Others want a solid piece of steel they can wrap their whole hand around. This is for the second group. The solid stainless handle gives you a continuous gripping surface that feels planted and secure — particularly useful if you’re wearing gloves or have larger hands.

Otherwise it’s the same reliable automatic knife: side-button deployment, blade locks open, safety lock when closed, 3.5-inch blade at 8 inches overall. Nothing exotic, just well-built and dependable.

Who This Knife Is For

This knife is a good fit for someone who does hands-on work and wants a fast-opening utility blade they can rely on. Contractors, tradespeople, outdoor workers — anyone who frequently needs a knife and values being able to get it open quickly with one hand.

It’s also a reasonable choice for someone who’s tried knives with cutout or skeletonized handles and found they prefer more contact area. The solid grip feels more substantial, which some people find reassuring both for utility cutting and for general carry confidence.

Is This the Right Choice for You?

Choose this automatic knife if you want:

  • A solid, full-contact handle with no gaps or cutouts
  • Fast one-button automatic deployment with a reliable lock-back
  • A compact, pocketable knife at a practical blade length
  • Stainless steel construction that holds up with regular use

Consider something else if you need:

  • A lighter knife — the solid handle adds a bit of mass over cutout designs
  • OTF deployment — this is a side-deploy folder, not an out-the-front mechanism

How It Actually Works

Disengage the safety lock, press the side button, and the blade swings out and locks in the open position. The mechanism is crisp — it doesn’t feel slow or mushy. The lock-back holds the blade firmly in place during use so there’s no movement or play when you’re cutting.

At 4.5 inches collapsed and 0.4 lbs, it carries easily in a front pants pocket or jacket pocket. The black finish on both blade and handle keeps it looking clean even with regular handling and light work use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the practical difference between a solid handle and a 5-hole handle?

The 5-hole cutout design reduces some weight and gives your fingers natural resting points in the holes. The solid handle gives you more contact area across the entire grip — useful if you have larger hands, wear gloves, or simply prefer a handle that feels more substantial. Mechanically the knives are identical. It comes down entirely to grip preference.

How secure is the safety lock on this knife?

It’s reliable. The lock keeps the blade from deploying unless you intentionally disengage it first, which is important for pocket carry. It’s a deliberate two-step process — release safety, then press the deployment button — so accidental activation in your pocket isn’t a concern. The blade also locks open during use and doesn’t move or flex.

Is this knife legal to carry in my state?

Automatic knife laws differ by state, county, and sometimes city. Some jurisdictions allow ownership but regulate blade length for carry. Others have broader restrictions on automatic mechanisms entirely. Check your state’s specific statutes on automatic or switchblade knives before ordering, or consult a local legal resource. Laws do change, so current local sources are your best reference.
