Speed or control? The choice is yours. Schrade's MAGIC dual action manual & assisted opening knife gives you the versatility of opening your knife with your own power, or getting a little spring assist to give you quickness when time is of the essence. Simply set the selector switch to M for Manual or A for Assisted, then use the thumb studs or flipper to release the black finished, partially serrated AUS-8 steel clip point blade. The handle is made of a gray ridged aluminum that offers secure grip and light weight. Jimping along the spine gives an added safety feature. There is a lanyard hole for customizing your knife or allowing for additional carry options, and a tip-up carry pocket clip on the back.
