is the knife spring assisted?

Yes I believe it is but only slightly to make it easier for you to open it with the leverage of your thumb on the thumb knob and your finger on the other protrusion. It's not like a switchblade, but it works well and easily, hope this helps.

Yes, it is spring assisted. It's actually a decent little knife, especially for the price. I keep mine on my desk and use it mainly as a letter opener and for opening boxes, etc.

Yes, This knife is by far my favorite "cheap" knife purchase. At first it wouldn't fully lock under spring pressure but a little "wearing in" and its flawless. Also mine came sharp as hell and ready for use. After purchasing a while back, I still carry it almost daily.

The knife springs out some, but you can open it the rest of the way with the flick of the wrist. It is very durable as well. I use it every day and it has held up well.

No it does not. It's opened solely by the flick of your finger not an "spring assisted" knife.

no but it open easier than some assisted opening knives I own such as my kershaw cryo. I find most knives that I own open much faster than assisted opening knves and its one less thing that can break.

No, but if you pull the release down you can flick the blade open. Great knife!

As other said it's not an assisted knife. I honestly don't know how Kershaw sells this knife with the flipper being flat and smooth. I love this knife and carry it every day but couldn't stand how smooth it was. I used a dremmel to create a "grip" on the flipper and i'm much happier with it.

There is no button that makes the knife spring open. You pull out the blade manually.

It is not, but the small thumb grip is very useful and isn't painful to use even after many times opening if the knife is in well condition.

No assisting spring but it opens very easily. It won't fully open with just the "flipper". Honestly, for the price, you can't beat it.

It is a folding knife. You open it like a regular pocket knife. I do not think it is a finger or thumb spring assist.. I bought a couple of these just for the heck of it. I was not particularly happy with it. It is not a good knife to do work with. But nonetheless, it is a sample of things out there. I think you were hoping for a spring assist, but the information I collected said it was a folding knife.

No. It is not assisted, but the latch system is the strongest I've ever experienced. It feels like a fixed blade when locked out. No play!

The blade will stay open until you close it, it is spring assisted, I hope this answers your question!!

The knife does not have an assisted opening mech. However it is still a very good knife for the price.. Only problem I have had with them is the belt clip screws which come out after time..

The knife has a hefty spring load to unfold and lock the knife in pace. The "switch" it's simply a sliding lever lock. Simple answer: spring loaded.

The knife is folding. It has a notch on the side you use to flip it open with your thumb but it is all manual. No springs or anything. VERY nice knife, it is large though. People give you some crazy expressions when you take it out! It is nice and heavy duty though.

No. There is a button to push on the handle. But it is not spring assisted. Iactually don't even use this knife anymore because of that reason

Not much force at all, let gravity and knife weight do the work for you. After several movements (right side, left side) you will discover how easy it really is.
