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 diferent
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, genereally
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.

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.
