SMITH & WESSON POWERGLIDE

New from Taylor Cutlery, the Smith & Wesson PowerGlide brings back the design of the "Paratrooper" knife with updated materials & technology. Gone is the all metal handle - Zytel has been used for lighter weight and better grip. The lever arms are now geared for smoother action and higher strength, and the blade shape has been updated for a more modern utility design.

To open the knife, simply split the handles and draw them apart. The gears will begin to move the knife blade forward until they reach the halfway point. Push the handles back together to complete the opening sequence and the knife is now locked in the open position. This knife cannot close until the handle is opened again - a tremendous safety advantage over most folding knives. To close, simply reverse the process.

Each Smith & Wesson PowerGlide comes with a cell-phone style carrying clip-holster, allowing the knife to be worn securely while hanging from equipment.
