I had 0 interest in autos or double action otfs beyond the fun factor until I tried a friend's DA OTF for a week while working in a warehouse/production facility. The unbelievable convenience of immediate, safe, one handed (in either hand) deployment and retraction was a complete game changer in a fast-paced work environment where you're needing to cut things and put your knife away safely over and over rapidly. Sure, it's not a must-have feature in most EDC roles but A: it really is handy as hell and B: it can totally change your work routine in certain applicable environments. I now own a UTX70 that is one of my absolute favorite shop and craft project tools.
In warehouses and construction, off knives are a game changer. Funny that you don't see them more often, many warehouses probably require safety box cutters which makes having an otf even more bad ass
I open and close my assisted and flipper knives one handed all the time. That said, an otf takes less practice but keep in mind if they're anything like my otf they can occasionally get gummed up with dirt, sand, pocket lint ect. So they can require a bit more maintenance but ultimately it depends on your preference.
@@vincenttolman7196 agreed. She really was pressing a moot point about one-handed operation in this video. I even commented a week ago that if you can't open or close those types of lock with one hand, you should not be handling a knife.
Guys, guys...she was talking about having to use quick wit, to cut a bootstrap loose to save that girl, before she fell with the other half of the subway car, into the sink hole gorge! You have time to fuck with liner locks?!??!! The answer is no. Idk. Maybe...
@@wretchpin how long do you think it takes to open a flipper? If a person is literally *that* close to having a very bad day, I'd argue that the time it takes to retrieve a knife is much more valuable than deployment time. A knife in your pocket is going to be much better than fumbling in a bag, for example. Also, very rarely is a person literally 'right there' within arms reach when a knife may be needed, giving time for a person to open *any* type of folder, as they move towards a situation that may warrant it's use.
Ok I get ya, so you want a good otf. Google " lighting otf" and it should be the 1st link click that select your knife and order it. Aldo there about 25 to 30 dollors

Got me a cobratec OTF for under $100with shipping a couple years ago and haven’t looked back. Took a few times breaking it in and being okay with marring the finish to quickly make it the main and sometimes only knife I have on me. For work, it’s friggin perfect.

Emerald Lx No he said to his son:“we called him baba yaga.“ Son:“So he’s the Bogeyman?“ Father:“No he was the guy you sent to kill the fucking Bogeyman.“
I ordered a regular knife from tekto for about $130 I was kinda regretting it until it arrived and they accidentally sent me an A5 Spray. A $250 otf knife. I would have never bought one but now that I have it, it's a definite game changer. I have a steady rotation of EDC knives, but I can see this one being my go to.
I picked up a Lightning Elite specifically so I could deploy and make safe quickly with one hand while my toddler is running around. I love my autos, folders, and fixed blades, but the OTF gives me more peace of mind when dealing with a small child.
@@craigjomaia It takes some force to deploy. My microtech is difficult for my 18yo daughter to deploy. Stop with the fear monger virtue signaling. Any child can open a frame lock flipper with no effort.
I definitely want to get one, they're so cool. It'd be cool to have for just using it to cut stuff, god I would hate to have to use it for self defense though
I just always wanted an infidel but kept buying more pistols instead as I couldn’t justify $450 but then my bugout really reinforced my liking to bench made so I got an infidel. I love it.
Only open carry, which is stupid in my opinion. If you're going to open carry a knife in FL, it can as I understand be any length, might as well carry a big fixed blade knife (example: buck knife).
OTF are the safest knives to carry IMO. The only time I’ve ever really cut myself with pocket knives is when opening or closing them. With OTF I never touch the blade and can quickly retract it as soon as it’s no longer needed.

Emerson wave style equipped knives are definitely faster than an auto. People freak out when they see how fast they deploy. Auto you have to take out of your pocket then deploy but Emerson wave style knives deploy as they are leaving the pocket. Still love otf knives though. Better cool factor
You do know that manual flipper knives can be opened and closed just as easy as these knives right? You absolutely do not need an OTF for one handed operation.
My flipper wont open in my pocket by accident, need any replaced parts such as springs, and in a race to take out of pocket and deploy for emergency and rescue scenario, im pretty sure the time to push a flipper is about the same as what it would take you to place your finger on the switch and push the switch, your doing the same motion, just for a different purpose, switch. Flip. Same thing, just ones more convenient then the other. And the other is more delicate and complicated. Just saying, theres a reason Cold Steels bad ass foldiers arent otfs, but they do make flippers.
Why an OTF knife? 1. It's soooo cool! 2. When you deploy an OTF the response is always the same.. *sucking in a breath thru the teeth* and then saying: "ooooooooo...". 3. The convenience and perceived deployment immediacy of an instantly appearing blade is intimidating and a bit sinister which puts the cool factor off the chart. As a hand gadget there is nothing else that goes from zero to 100 with breath gasping action when you casually fiddle with it. Nothing else compares. Awesomecoolz! 😃 Much Luvz for all! ❤
I started strapping a knife to my side the second time I had a knife pulled on me. I was about 15 and Both times were from kids my age who had lost a fair fight. Without elaborating I will tell you them pulling out a knife on me when they were in a semi-conscious state did not help their situation much. It's been about 45 years now that I've been carrying a knife. So at this point I feel qualified to share my opinion. Any situation where you have to deploy your knife in a rapid fashion believe me when I tell you that 10th of a second you might save with an OTF is not going to be what decides the outcome. However if you are still set on that 10th of a second I suggest you carry a knife with that Ernst Emerson wave feature . It's designed to literally deploy AS you're pulling it out of your pocket provided you use the right motion. In my opinion the one advantage you get with an OTF is you have the option of a double edge.
One thing people don't mention about OTF's is that you don't know it's a knife for sure until the blade comes out unless they are showing it off before hand and with that said when a person normally goes to pullout a knife the fight goes from the person trying to hurt the other person to both people being fixated on the blade (usually in the form of fighting for control over it) an OTF mitigates this by giving them less reaction time to attack or stop said blade effectively but it's all about preference but Ideally of course if you plan to defend yourself with anything you would have some training

It's not a critique on Balisongs. I've never handled one so that's how I'm expecting it would go down. To see people who have trained with them you could tell it's a very steep learning curve.

@@jesseyoxheimer5590 Yes, depending on how they're used and how much they're used, if put through some heavy abuse then the locking mechanism will give pretty quick, and if you frequently have to open and close that'll start to fail more and more often within a far shorter period of time than a folder
I don't think they do, I just tried to buy a Stiletto from them and it's got "restricted" and 4 categories you have to select from which I don't understand to try to buy it. 🤨 So I couldn't buy it, I think it has to do with state lines or something.😣
Your like john wick when your driving to silence cause you haven't yet picked a song cause your holding your knife. Thinking about what song you'll pick while enjoying your purchase and new cool thing(fine or moderately priced materials extremely well crafted or crafted to last well enough.. and when you get out of your car you'll be saddend cause you can't fiddle with a knife in front of gen pop everywhere.
My SIDE-OPENING AUTOMATIC equally ONE-HANDED--- yes, I also close it one-handed... For that matter, all my folding knives are one handed (Victorinox the only exception), weather automatic or not. Plus I have the advantage of being able to deploy it silently. Second, speed is indeed slightly quicker on my OTF's. Third reason is mall ninja/Keyboard Warrior stuff.
Pennsylvania and all other states where these are illegal to carry should really change that. I legitimately don’t see a reason for them to be illegal.

Excellent Review.....
Do y'all ship automatic knives across state lines?
Draco yes
I don't think they do, I just tried to buy a Stiletto from them and it's got "restricted" and 4 categories you have to select from which I don't understand to try to buy it. 🤨 So I couldn't buy it, I think it has to do with state lines or something.😣
Just got a stiletto otf and it is sooooo stiff, put wd-40 and it still stiff
John Wick;”Yeah, I like applesauce.”.
Really wish I could but they're illegal here in my state 😢
Shingeki no Propane damn
Your like john wick when your driving to silence cause you haven't yet picked a song cause your holding your knife. Thinking about what song you'll pick while enjoying your purchase and new cool thing(fine or moderately priced materials extremely well crafted or crafted to last well enough.. and when you get out of your car you'll be saddend cause you can't fiddle with a knife in front of gen pop everywhere.
LOL love the mandalorian reference!
My SIDE-OPENING AUTOMATIC equally ONE-HANDED--- yes, I also close it one-handed... For that matter, all my folding knives are one handed (Victorinox the only exception), weather automatic or not.
Plus I have the advantage of being able to deploy it silently.
Second, speed is indeed slightly quicker on my OTF's.
Third reason is mall ninja/Keyboard Warrior stuff.
Pennsylvania and all other states where these are illegal to carry should really change that. I legitimately don’t see a reason for them to be illegal.
