Automatic Knives and their Features
Automatic knives are useful for people who enjoy carrying a knife for security or protection where hand functionality might be limited. When purchasing an automatic knife, there are a few choices to consider. There are basically two types of blade deployment in automatic knives: Out-the-Front actuation and Out-the-Side actuation.

Out-the-Front actuation automatic knives come in two choices. Single action deploys the blade out the front of the automatic knife with a manual retraction feature. Double action deploys the blade out the front of the automatic knife with an automatic retraction feature.

Out-the-Side actuation automatic knives are manufactured in three difFerent release mechanism styles and all feature manual retraction. The button release mechanism is simply depressed to deploy the blade out the side of the automatic knives. The bolster release mechanism is achieved by rotating a forward piece of material on the automatic knife handle around the blade's pivot point, generelly counter-clockwise. The scale release mechanism deploys the blade by rotating the entire side of the automatic knife. The pivot point may be located at either end of the knife. Single action Out-the-Side automatic knives have no way of actuating the blade other than automatically. Double action Out-the-Side automatic knives actuate the blade both automatically, as well as manually.

Automatic Knife Conversions
Many of the brands we offer are not originally manufactured as automatic knives. 888 Knives R Us has many offerings of brands which have been converted to an automatic deployment system, combining the quality and beauty of manually deployed knives with the ease of an automatic opener. The knife is taken apart and a spring placed within the handle which allows for the automatic blade deployment. Many of these knives then become a Double Action as they can be deployed both manually and automatically.
