Knife Type

Folding knives, flipper knives, and assisted-opening knives make excellent choices for everyday carry. Folding knives are compact and convenient to carry, as the blade folds into the handle, allowing for safe storage in your pocket or gear. Flipper knives are a type of folding knife, featuring a flipper tab that allows you to open the blade quickly with one hand. They are smooth and fast, which makes them a favorite for knife fans and pros.

Assisted-opening knives use a combination of your hand and a spring mechanism to deploy the blade quickly. They’re ideal for situations where you need fast access to a blade. Off-Grid Knives makes everyday carry knives in all three styles. We use tough steel like Cryo D2 and 154CM, strong G10 handles, and deep-carry clips. These knives offer the strength of fixed blades with the convenience of easier carry. Whether you're opening packages, cutting rope, or need quick access to a blade, our EDC knives are built for everyday use

An assisted opening knife uses a spring to help the blade open quickly. You only need to press the thumb stud or flipper tab with light pressure. Since it's not fully automatic, it's legal in many areas where switchblades are restricted. It works fast and is easy to use, which makes it popular for self-defense, first responders, and people who carry a knife every day.

Off-Grid assisted knives have strong springs and secure locking systems. This keeps you safe and makes the knife reliable. Whether you're in an emergency or just want a knife that opens fast with your thumb, our assisted knives offer speed, control, and tough build quality.

For outdoor activities like camping, hunting, or survival, fixed blade knives are the gold standard due to their strength and dependability. However, folding and assisted knives can serve as great secondary tools for quick access and utility tasks. Our fixed blade knives are built for rugged outdoor use, offering high-carbon steel, anti-slip grips, and full-tang construction for tough jobs like wood processing, shelter building, or food prep.

Assisted and flipper knives can be excellent additions to your pack for lighter tasks or as a backup. For example, an assisted knife provides fast access in emergency situations, while a flipper knife offers quick utility on the trail. Off-Grid Knives are designed to excel in the wild, giving you peace of mind when you’re off the grid.

The main difference is how the knife opens. A flipper knife features a small tab on the back of the blade that you pull to deploy the blade. In contrast, a thumb stud knife has a small knob on the side of the blade that you push with your thumb to open it. Flipper knives often include ball-bearing systems, allowing for faster and smoother opening. This makes them a popular choice for those who prefer quick, one-handed operation.

Off-Grid’s flipper knives are quick to deploy, user-friendly, and stylish. They feel good in your hand and work well in real situations. If you want a knife that opens smoothly and safely, a flipper knife is a great choice for everyday carry, tactical use, or collecting.
