The Karambit Style Automatic Dual Action Out the Front Knife is an automatic out the front knife which means that the blade shoots out of the end of the handle from within as opposed to swinging out of the side of the handle like switchblades and stilettos. The switch to deploy the knife is at the pommel near the finger hole. If you push the switch down the blade deploys and pushing the switch the other way will cause the knife to retract. This is a Karambit style knife which can be seen in the curve of the handle and blade of the knife as well as in the inclusion of a finger hole in the design. The handle is zinc aluminum with carbon fiber inlays and the blade is an elegant silver steel blade; strong and durable. The blade has geometric arc-like detailing which adds further depth to the design. The Snow-capped Karambit Style Automatic Dual Action Out the Front Knife comes with its own black nylon sheath with a belt loop.
