The H&K Nitrous Blitz is a pretty sweet spring assist. Honestly, my favorite thing about this knife has got to be the swedge—it looks sick, and it sets the knife apart from your normal everyday folding knife in terms of looks. In terms of function, though, the Nitrous Blitz is equally amazing. The knife uses a “spring assisted Nitrous mechanism” that is “built directly into … Continue reading
I don’t think I’ve met a knife enthusiast who doesn’t like Zero Tolerance. Zero Tolerance knives are extremely tough and functional, and when you pair that with a great design, you’ve got yourself a pretty amazing blade. While I’d say that ZT makes more manual folding knives than anything else, the company also makes some really great spring assisted knives. Some of them you’ve already … Continue reading

The overall length comes to 7.20 inches with a 4-inch handle and a 3-inch blade. The aluminum handle has great texturing that provides a secure grip, and … Continue reading
SOG had quite a bit of new product at SHOT Show for 2014. One of the company’s new spring assisted knives for this year is the SOG Zoom: The Zoom is pretty similar in appearance to the SOG Tac, particularly in regard to the shape and material of the handle (aluminum). The Zoom also has the addition of a smaller index groove for added control. … Continue reading

Take … Continue reading
A while back, I posted a clip of an HTM Darrel Ralph that was spotted on TV. However, there are lots more HTM spring-assisted knives that deserve some attention. Take a look at a few of them: I really like HTM blades. HTM stands for Hand-Tech Made, and HTM knives are all individually handcrafted. HTM utilizes a lot of different designs in its knives, … Continue reading

It is sleek and fits nicely in hand and in pocket, but it also has a 3-inch blade with 14C28 steel that can handle a wide range of cutting and … Continue reading
