Does it have an assisted opening blade? Or is it manual

If by assisted you mean a "pop-lock or switchblade", then no. There is a thumb tang that let's the user open the knife with a single hand. Hope that helps in your buying decision.

It is a manual open blade.... So far I like it... I wish it was thinner though.

It is not a "switch" blade if that is what you mean by "assisted opening blade". You have to open the blade manually and it locks firmly into position. There is a finger press release mechanism used to manually close the blade. I find the device to be solid and not too large considering its multi-use design.

This is a manual blade (no springs or assisting mechanisms) for both the main blade and seat belt cutter. There is a thumb stud for both the main knife and seat belt cutter that are relatively flush with the main body of the knife with a indent leading to it. The blade does not "lock" in the close position, but does lock in the open position. The locking mechanism is linear and respective to the blades side (the main blade and seat belt open in opposite sides).

Manual. It is not electric, which to me is better because less can go wrong with it. It opens very smoothly and closes just as nicely.

No, however there is a metal "knob" on the Hilt located at the top of the handle. Pulling back on this "knob" with your index finger and a flick opens the blade very quickly. No need for a spring assist.

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

Its manual. Its amazing. I couldn't survive without it! Not much muscle strength. Its curved perfectly so you can lean in to it. Hope that helps.

it isn't spring assisted. the action is loose enough to open with a smooth flick of the wrist but doesn't feel flimsy. the action is tight enough to keep the blade closed but loose enough for a smooth operation without sticking

It is manual. It comes with a attachment to roll it in and out. I'm very happy with it and rolling it in and out is not difficult aqt all.

Manual opening. There is a hole for your thumb that allows opening with a quick flip! I have two of these knives and they make excellent gifts!

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.

It is a manual opening. However, there is a point when opening it where it wants to open all the way.

Yes this is an assisted opening Kershaw. It is the same one I carry every day, and wouldn't leave without it. It comes in serrated or no serration. In Black or polished. It is very durable and very manly.

No it's not assisted opening, but honestly it doesn't need it. Once broken in and with practice it deploys just as fast. Not to mention this knife can take a extreme amount of abuse so maybe that's due to the fact it isn't assisted opening. That's just my opinion not a fact. Hope it helps

No, this knife has only the thumb studs & a weighted blade. With some practice, it can be opened with 2 wrist flicks, but it has no easier fast way to open.

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

No, it is not spring assisted. It has IKBS bearing system and a very smooth action. I love the knife and carry when working in shop, etc. a little too heavy for edc, but would give it five stars for design, smooth action, sharp blade.Easily opened with one hand.

No, its manual. I love mine. Easy to operate, doesn't tire my hands out and leaves the lid and can edge smooth so there is no risk of cutting yourself. It easily handles even large cans. It also doesn't take up a whole lot of drawer space.
