The Hendrix Triton Dagger Knife is a sleek and compact OTF, which offers powerful double-action deployment with a side loaded thumb slide. The M390 premium steel dagger blade has a satin finish and offers you outstanding strength and edge retention so that is sharp and ready at a moment’s notice. The textured, aircraft grade aluminum handle offers a lightweight build and a reliable grip in your hand. I really like this automatic because it also comes with a nylon belt sheath that is MOLLE compatible.

Whether you’re on a mission or need it for day-to-day tasks, you can always count on an M48 pocket knife and the M48 Lightning Strike Automatic OTF Knife definitely lives up to the reputation. With its ambidextrous sliding button, the blade can be rapidly deployed or retracted at a moment's notice, catering to all quick-response scenarios. The razor-sharp blade excels at both piercing and slicing, making it versatile for a variety of tasks. Complementing its sharp edge is a sturdy handle featuring a textured, ridged design for a no-slip grip, regardless of the environment. This 9 1/2” knife (5 3/4” when closed) incorporates a glass breaker pommel, an essential feature for emergencies, and a low-profile pocket clip for seamless carrying. With its sleek design and practical features, the M48 Lightning Strike Automatic OTF Knife is the reliable pocket partner you've been seeking.

When Gerber set out to design the Propel Automatic Knife, the process was peppered with critical feedback from military and law enforcement personnel. It was tasked with answering the needs of some of the most demanding, abusive, and unpredictable environments the world has to offer. This automatic is a one-handed opening workhorse with a 420HC steel, partially serrated tanto blade that can cut through anything. A black oxide coating adds corrosion resistance and low reflectivity. The black, G-10 handle provides a sure grip and durability in a slim package. The Propel provides the unshakable confidence that can only come from carrying a knife you truly believe in and a Gerber never, ever disappoints!

Made in the USA, the Benchmade Casbah Automatic is lightweight, making it an easy everyday carry pocket knife. It has a 3 2/5”, CPM-S30V steel drop point blade with a black finish and a 58-60 HRC. The automatic has a black, textured Grivory handle, and it features a deep-carry, reversible pocket clip and a lanyard hole.
