is this knife double action?

No, the knife is not double action. It is spring assisted out the front and then the blade locks in place. To retract the blade you have to push a safety button and then use the button on the knife to retract.

The SCHOTF3B Viper Out-the-Front Assisted Opening knife from Schrade features a double-edge blade with a black finish. The handle is dark gray finished aluminum with a safety, pocket clip and glass breaker. To deploy the blade, simply push on the slider near the base of the handle to get the blade moving and the spring assist mechanism will take it the rest of the way. To retract the blade, release the lock and pull down on the slider to lock it back in place. It is assisted automatic deployment and manual retraction.

No the knife is a single action OTF requiring you pull back the firing mechanism. Still for the price highly recommended. Try the Taiwan lighting OTF knife that is double action for about $40

I'd suppose you could call it so. It opens once tiger button is released and thumb button will retract the blade. spring is very touchy ,VERY EASY release, but it does have safety and is VERY SHARP, also totally illegal to carry in most states!! It's a collector item and I don't recommend carrying on the street!! Hope this is of some help, check your local knife laws.

I it only comes with one blade, in order to get the double blade effect you will need to purchase two

It is that type. My example worked very roughly when trying to close the knife. Disappointing. I can't say whether my experience is unique or typical, of course.

Yes, they are both the exact same knife. Remember that the handle on this knife is very big. You might not like it if you have small hands.

No It's not a dual action. They typically say right in the description if they are

My knife has a curved blade....I liked it so well I bought another for our second home.model seems to read 5.6603.15..don't know if the curve is a big deal or not.

Yes. It's very finely serrated, and shows more when the knife lies with the blade to the left instead of the right.

No, but has very smooth action. I was use to assisted opening and now that I have broke this knife in it opens just as fast.

It is similar, however it has a different mechanism which makes it legal. Instead of a switch you push on the top side of the knife toward the front(it's actually part of the blade) and it opens.

Yes, that is just the shape. It is a very good all around knife. A good weight.

No, it's a single blade. The reciews i read before i bought this one suggested the double blades are messy and the single work just as well. i agree, This one works great.

No it is not! It is only a 1 handed knife. The blade is long but the handle is for 1 hand only! But this knife is one of the best knives you can get!

I believe it is but I've never physically owned one or compared the two. This one however is a great knife and I recommend it.

I believe so, the blade isnt thin like fillet knife ( though it is as sharp). I bet you could find youtube videos of the knife in action. After all it is an " as seen on TV" product.

This type of blade is a straight-back blade. It only has one sharp side and it is double-edged.

It has both. This is not your Fathers Swiss Army knife. I am impressed with it

It should have two blades, and yes, we have had the same problem with ours; I did a little bending of the blades, as I noticed when they are installed in the handle, there is a gap between them. So the bending seemed to coax them closer together. Never the less, this newer item isn't as good as the old one we had, which lasted for years and was a dependable knife.
