OTF Knives are sometimes called switchblades, OTFs, or just out-the-front knives. Out the front automatic knives are available in single-action or double-action. Their fast deployment makes them ideal for anyone who needs quick, one-handed access to their pocket knife.
Out the Front knives, or OTF's as they are often known, are knives which when triggered, push the blade right out the front of the handle. There are two main types of OTF switchblades; single and double action. Single action push the blade out when triggered but then must be reset or recocked before they can be triggered again. Double action, or D/A, are knives which use the trigger to push the blade out and then use the same button to pull it back in again. Out the front knives are a form of automatic knife and so if you are looking to purchase and own one of these great knives, you must follow the laws of your area as they pertain to auto knives. OTF's are a lot of fun to own and to carry.
