Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the USMC M-A3008BK an automatic switchblade?
A: No. It is a spring-assisted knife. It requires manual pressure on the flipper tab to initiate the opening, after which the spring takes over. This distinction makes it legal in many more areas than automatic switchblades.
Q: What is the benefit of the Wharncliffe blade shape?
A: The straight edge of the Wharncliffe blade transfers full force directly to the material being cut, making it exceptional for utility tasks like opening boxes, cutting rope, or scoring materials without the blade slipping.
Q: Does this knife have a pocket clip?
A: Yes, it includes a sturdy, black-coated stainless steel pocket clip mounted for "tip-down" carry, keeping it secure and accessible in your pocket.
