Well shucks! This item is no longer available and we don't know when it will be back.

Here are some similar items that we hope float your boat:



This is the 3rd Generation OTF from Alex Shunnarah of A.R.S. Knives. This single action out-the-front automatic knife features strong, precise action and the tightest lockup we've seen in an OTF. The black Cerakote gun finished aluminum handle is super thin with grooves along the faces. The stainless steel tanto blade is polished and is retracted using the pull bar, a great new feature on this OTF knife. Pictured above is the actual knife for sale.

Please Note: These knives are built to tight tolerances and the blades have light scratches from opening and closing. This is how they are produced and part of the reason for the minimal blade play.
