Most knives in this category feature belt or visor clips, lanyard holes, or wallet-sized profiles that make them practical for daily carry. Assisted-open and automatic knives deploy quickly with one hand, while concealed designs like pen knives and comb knives keep a blade accessible without advertising it. Knowing how you intend to carry is the first step toward choosing the right knife.
These knives range from compact 2.75-inch utility blades to full 4-inch EDC folders, each built for a different carry preference and use case. Throwing knife sets use full-tang 440 stainless steel construction for balance and durability, while folding and automatic models prioritize speed and portability. Consider blade length, locking mechanism, and handle material when selecting between options.
Every knife in this category is built to consistent material standards, with blades in 3Cr13 or 440 stainless steel and handle constructions ranging from aircraft-grade aluminum to solid stainless. Safety lock mechanisms are included on automatic models, and sheath or clip carry options are standard across most designs. You're buying tools that are built to hold up, carry comfortably, and perform when it counts.
This category includes assisted-open folding knives, automatic knives, throwing knife sets, butterfly knives, and concealed carry designs like pen knives and comb knives. There are also multi-function survival tools and credit card blades for minimalist carry. Each knife type is designed for a different carry style and intended use.
Knife laws vary significantly by state, county, and municipality, particularly for automatic and concealed knives. It is your responsibility to verify the laws in your jurisdiction before purchasing or carrying any knife from this category. Advanced Safety Tech does not provide legal advice on carry laws.
Most folding and automatic knives in this category use 3Cr13 stainless steel, which balances edge retention, corrosion resistance, and affordability. Throwing knife sets use 440 stainless steel, favored for its hardness and durability under repeated impact. Blade material is listed in each individual product description.
An assisted-open knife uses an internal spring mechanism that completes the blade deployment once you begin opening it manually, typically with a thumb stud or flipper tab. This allows faster, one-handed access compared to a traditional manual folder. These knives are distinct from automatic or switchblade knives, which open at the press of a button.
Many knives in this category, including the throwing knife sets and folding EDC models, are rated for beginner to intermediate users. Concealed and automatic knives require more familiarity with safe handling practices. Each product listing includes details on skill level suitability and any safety features included.
Most throwing knife sets include nylon belt sheaths, and the majority of folding and automatic knives include integrated belt or visor clips for immediate carry readiness. Some knives also include lanyard holes for additional attachment options. Check individual product listings for specific carry accessories included with each knife.
