Yes it is spring assist and opens very quickly. Good knife for the money. Cannot go wrong for the price.

Yes but it is easier with both hands. However I do not keep the blade locked. The spring is tight enough that the blade will not open without a definite press on the blade tang.

it is not a spring assisted knife and is legal in california. The torsion bar system is not a switchblade.

There is a little bit, but that's to be found with most knifes in this price range. You can tighten the screw, but it will affect the draw speed of the knife when opened and may even prevent it from opening up all the way if tightened to much.There isn't enough side-to-side play that I wouldn't recommend it. It's definitely a great knife, regardless of the spring assist, which sets it apart from most others at this price point and size.

Do you have the scissor locked all the way open? The first few times I used it, it seemed open all the way, but wasn't I had to make a conscious effort to click it open. ( Same as the knife blades.) when the lock engages, it tensions the spring. Good luck

It works just like any other knife with the piece of metal in this picture is on inside right side of the v This knife is probably against the law for you to carry if you can't even close it Sorry to be so blunt but it is a spring assisted knife which in most states is illegal to carry unless your a first responder Please be careful it is not a toy

While holding the knife in your right hand, simply push your index finger on the right side hook. It will flick open quickly just like a switchblade (Although these are LEGAL and considered "spring assist" instead of the ILLEGAL "switchblade"). You can also use the thumb stud, but it's a little harder to do I think.

No it is not. It has a nob flick open (typically pushed out by your thumb if opened by a single hand), there is no assisted mechanism on this knife. The opening is smooth but I found it to be a bit awkward, I have many thumb open knives like this one and it is just something about the design that feels off in my hand but only when opening, once open - the knife is absolutely fantastic in almost every way. (But you probably are familiar with benchmade)Cheers

no the spring is an integral part of the blade and by taking out the spring you would have a blade that does not stay in the knife body.

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!

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.

Yes it is spring assisted. Once it moves it immediately opens all the way. How fast does it open? Well it is spring assisted so it opens pretty fast.Hope that helps.

No. The mainspring that hols the blade open applies pressure on the blade through opening but does not assist in the opening.

Thank you for your question. Spring assist folders are typically legal, however, you would need to check the laws of your state, county, city and any other local ordinances to know for sure whether this knife is legal. The spring assist action and the length of the blade would both need to be looked at for legality. You didn't mention where you are located, but I would hope that a folder like this would not be illegal. Sorry I couldn't be more help and answer your question with a definite answer, but hopefully this helps a bit. Nathan The McInnis Group, Inc.

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.
