When reach and response time matter, a slow deployment is a liability. The Assisted Open Folding Knife puts a 3.5-inch 3Cr13 steel blade in your hand with one deliberate motion — no two-hand fumbling, no delay. At 8 inches overall and finished in purple stainless steel, it carries discreetly and deploys with authority.
Who This Folding Knife Is For
This knife is built for the everyday carrier who wants a capable blade that disappears into a pocket or clips cleanly to a belt or visor. It suits commuters, outdoor workers, and personal defense practitioners who prioritize fast access and reliable construction without carrying a full-size fixed blade. The lanyard hole adds a retention option for those who work with gloved hands or in rough conditions.

Assisted Open Folding Knife Features and Benefits
- Assisted Opening Mechanism: Spring-assisted deployment puts the blade into position with one hand — critical when your other hand is occupied or time is short.
- 3.5-Inch 3Cr13 Steel Blade: 3Cr13 is a corrosion-resistant stainless alloy that holds a serviceable edge and tolerates the demands of daily carry without special maintenance.
- 8-Inch Overall Length: Compact enough to pocket-carry, long enough to provide genuine utility in both work and defense scenarios.
- Stainless Steel Handle: Full stainless construction resists moisture and wear, providing a consistent grip surface whether the handle is wet or dry.
- Belt and Visor Clip: The integrated clip secures the knife to a belt, waistband, or vehicle visor for immediate, consistent access.
- Lanyard Hole: Thread a lanyard for retention during active use or as a secondary carry method.
- Purple Finish: Distinctive color makes the knife easy to identify in a bag or kit — and sets it apart from standard tactical-black options.

Care and What’s Included
What’s in the Box
- Assisted Open Folding Knife
- Belt and visor clip (attached)
- Lanyard hole for optional lanyard attachment
Care
Wipe the blade dry after exposure to moisture. Periodically apply a drop of light oil to the pivot point to keep the assisted mechanism cycling smoothly. The 3Cr13 steel holds its edge well under normal use; touch it up with a standard pocket sharpener when needed.
Legal Notes
Assisted-opening folding knives are legal to own and carry in most US states, but state, county, and municipal laws vary on blade length, carry method (concealed vs. open), and knife type. Some venues — including government buildings, schools, and airports — prohibit all knives regardless of local law. Verify the regulations in your jurisdiction before carrying this knife.
Assisted Open Folding Knife: Frequently Asked Questions
What steel is the blade made from?
The blade is 3Cr13 stainless steel, a corrosion-resistant alloy widely used in everyday-carry knives. It offers a practical balance of edge retention, ease of sharpening, and resistance to moisture-related rust — making it well suited to the demands of regular carry and use.
How long is the Assisted Open Folding Knife overall?
The Assisted Open Folding Knife measures 8 inches overall with the blade deployed and 3.5 inches of cutting edge. That profile fits comfortably in most pockets and clears common blade-length limits in many jurisdictions, though buyers should always confirm local regulations.
What carry options does the Assisted Open Folding Knife include?
The knife ships with an integrated belt and visor clip for hands-free carry on a waistband, pocket edge, or vehicle visor. A lanyard hole is also built into the handle, allowing you to attach a retention cord or loop for secure carry during physical activity.
Is this knife suitable for self-defense?
The assisted opening mechanism and 3.5-inch blade make this a viable personal defense tool for those trained in knife handling. That said, effective use in a defense situation requires practice and situational awareness. A knife is a last-resort tool, not a substitute for distance management and de-escalation skills.
