So you want to know more about knives. Or you want to own a good
one for your everyday tasks. But the moment you started inquiring about EDC
(every day carry) knives, you saw a wide variety of terms that you don't
understand, such as Lightning OTF. And you would like some
clarification. Well, you are in the right place.
What Are They
OTF refers to the Out-The-Front mechanism of opening and closing
the blade of a knife. The lightning OTF knife refers to the sharp and smooth
trigger mechanism of the blade, best for regular tasks. These knives are not
famous for battling ferocious beasts in the jungle but their quickness and
sharpness are more than sufficient for a beginner in the knife world.
Why Choose Them
These distinct advantages make them the best choice for anyone
in the market for a good EDC knife:-
Quick Deployment
The trigger at the spine of the handle makes it easy to deploy
as well as retract. It is a straightforward action, punctuated only if
something lodges unnaturally in the trigger space. It is easy to clean too
which keeps the mechanism lightning fast. It is also safe and won't flip open
automatically (thus preventing injuries).
Easy To Sharpen
Compared to many other blades, a LightningOTF blade is quicker to sharpen too. This means the user
can keep it in top shape at all times at home itself.
Extra Factors
Apart from its comparatively small size, lighter weight, sharp
blade, it is also much more cost-effective than many other popular types of
knives. Moreover, the aesthetics are pleasing and it is available in a variety
of colors, sizes, materials, making it perfect for even the most demanding
knife owners.
