is this knife spring assisted?

Yes, very much so. I sit around and play with it it (open and close) quite a bit just for that reason.
1411273
Yes it is and it works very well. Stays closed when it is suppose to & opens quickly & easily when YOU want it to.

Check out Kershaw speed safe. Its an over center cam. When closed, stays closed. Some pressure on the back of the blade and its assisted open.

Yes, mine recently broke (spring popped out of place) but it is an easy fix with the proper toolsI would recommend this as a starter EDC knife for light use but I am personally upgrading to a SOG Trident soon.

Yes, and no. SpeedSafe is Kershaw's rendition of "spring assisted." Function-wise, yes it opens like a spring assisted. However, some states have restrictions on spring assisted knives, yet to my knowledge, Kershaw's SpeedSafe is legal in all 50 states.

No, it's a manual-opener. Cold Steel does not sell assisted/automatic opening knives as of yet...

No it is not assisted, although it is very smooth. It is D2 steel, not S30V

No it comes out the front like a ww2 paratrooper knife , their is a cam and gear system , the handles pull apart at the back and the blade pivots out the front . But it is mechanically done and is very awkward. If you are looking for a spring assist out the front knife the scrade viper 2 would be a much better option.

No...it is a spring assist blade. The user must apply some pressure on the actuator to initiate the opeing of the blade

No, not spring assisted. You can adjust the tension on the pivot screw, so you can flick it while pushing on the tab of the blade with your forefinger. BTW, use a little locktite 242 or a TINY bit of clear fingernail polish to lock the threads on the pivot screw where you want them - good to go!

Yes. The lock is the dark slider at the right end of the knife in the illustration. It is spring loaded, and unlocks only when the slider is pushed forward or backward. As long as no pressure is applied in either direction, the blade is immobilized, and cannot move.

No. But the blade is secure when closed. It never opens on me on accident being an open assisted knife.

Do you have the scissor locked all the way open? The first few times I used it, it seemed open all the way, but wasn't I had to make a conscious effort to click it open. ( Same as the knife blades.) when the lock engages, it tensions the spring. Good luck

You can... But I strongly recommend not getting this. The spring system does not hold the angle very well and you will ruin the edge of your knife with this. Good idea, Horrible implementation. I would get something else if I were you. I threw mine in the garbage.

It is not, but the small thumb grip is very useful and isn't painful to use even after many times opening if the knife is in well condition.

The knife has a hefty spring load to unfold and lock the knife in pace. The "switch" it's simply a sliding lever lock. Simple answer: spring loaded.

This knife is spring assisted. With the spring force and thumb force it opens in less than a quarter second, which has always been fast enough for me and fast enough to surprise anyone who asked to use a knife.

Yes it is spring assisted and opens really fast. I have many different knives, but I use this one as my daily use. I use it everyday and am very happy with it.

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.
2209568
No. It is not assisted, but the latch system is the strongest I've ever experienced. It feels like a fixed blade when locked out. No play!

Yes, but it's hard to operate because of it's position. There is a second way to open it with a place on the blade. I wouldn't advise your getting this knife. I returned my first one and got a replacement that is slightly better. I would not recommend this knife period.
