What is an OTF (Out The Front) Knife?
An OTF, or Out The Front knife, is a type of switchblade or automatic knife where the blade deploys and retracts straight out of the front of the handle, as opposed to pivoting out from the side. This is achieved through a sophisticated internal spring mechanism controlled by a switch or button on the handle. Their straight-line action makes them the fastest-deploying knives in the world.
There are two primary types of OTF knife mechanisms:
- Dual Action (D/A): The most common type. A single switch is used to both deploy and retract the blade automatically.
- Single Action (S/A): The switch only deploys the blade. The blade must be manually retracted by a charging handle, which re-compresses the spring.
