Tac-Force "Midnight Ops" Spring Assisted Knife – Purple TiNi Blade & Skull Handle
Product Description
Make a bold statement with the Tac-Force TF-951PR/PE "Midnight Ops" Spring Assisted Knife (often designated as the TF-951 series purple edition). Built for reliable everyday carry (EDC) and rapid response, this tactical folding knife delivers heavy-duty utility with an unforgettable visual profile.
The knife features a 3.25-inch 3Cr13 stainless steel tanto blade finished in a vibrant, metallic purple TiNi (Titanium Nitride) coating. This premium finish provides superior resistance against wear, scratches, and corrosion. The blade is laser-etched with the "MIDNIGHT OPS: STEALTH TACTICS - GUTS" emblem, marking its place in Tac-Force's elite tactical line.
Deploying the blade is instantaneous thanks to the ultra-smooth spring-assisted opening mechanism. Simply press the integrated flipper tab or thumb stud for rapid, one-handed deployment, which locks solidly into place via a heavy-duty liner lock.
The 4.5-inch stainless steel handle features a textured black bolster for structural integrity, a central stylized skull emblem, and a sleek purple-accented honeycomb hex grid pattern. The reverse side features a sturdy, low-profile stainless steel pocket clip alongside a built-in lanyard/carabiner slot for versatile carry options.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the main benefits of a purple TiNi blade coating?
A: Titanium Nitride (TiNi) is a high-performance ceramic coating bonded directly to the stainless steel. It significantly increases surface hardness, guards against scratches, reduces friction during slicing, and offers exceptional rust protection compared to traditional blade paints.
Q: Is a spring-assisted knife considered a switchblade?
A: No. A switchblade opens automatically with the press of a button on the handle. A spring-assisted knife requires you to manually start opening the blade via the flipper tab or thumb stud before the internal spring takes over.
Q: Can the pocket clip be moved to a different side or position?
A: This model is designed with a fixed, heavy-duty tip-down stainless steel pocket clip configured for right-hand carry to maximize stability and structural slimness.
