Hey guys,

Im looking to get an assisted open or OTF knife for black friday.

What are some good vendors to browse for deals?

For assisted opening, i'm looking at the Kershaw Blur..
Not sure about OTF models...

Thanks.

Personally, Assisted OTF knives are really basically useless, even in a knife fight (better then nothing, but there are so many better choices).

So the first question is what is the purpose for this knife? EDC, whittling, camping, nail trimmer, skinning, self-defense, pig sticker, etc.....

The problem I have with Assisted OTF is the blade locking system, most will let you down when you need them most. In a knife fight, hitting a rib with an OTF can be a big problem (blade releasing and retracting or breaking the blade lockup). It is also easier to break the blade off from the handle because it is the weakest mechanically.

Obviously for knife fighting a fixed blade is the best choice (my favorite is the Gerber Mark II) but not always the easiest to carry. The Mark II is great in the field/woods but not good at the mall so my EDC carry is the Gerber Covert Applegate/Fairbairn knife.

I have several Kershaw Knives, they are high quality and they stand behind their knives. They make an OTF called the Ripcord but it is not assisted so once open is more like a fixed blade.

There are tons of good knives out there, KA-Bar, Gerber, Boker, Kershaw, Microtech, Benchmade, CRKT, SOG to name a few.

My favorite knife.
 

Can't go wrong with a Blur...also the thermite and cryo ii are very good. I personally would step up to
A ZT 0350. Come down a day early and we can go hit a store that has a good selection.

This will be for EDC...

I like the Kershaw Thermite a lot.  A member here made the custom scales.

..I'm not seeing that one @ $38

Neither am I.  Getting $54.

 

Must have been a temporary coupon. I still see $10 off $50 at checkout so its $48. There were two $10 off items when I ordered.

Also check out going gear they have a store near Cobb parkway
