is the handle metal or plastic??

[shilotem]

I bought this knife and put a little Loctite on the screws as many have suggested. I wanted to warn people not to tighten the screws down to hard as they strip out easy. They just scree into the plastic housing/handle. It's kind of a cheapo knife but hey what do you expect from a 30 dollar knife.

Is this legal in California ?

@JMO916

The difference between I regular OTF and spring assisted OTF is, that on a regular OTF it's powered by a button/switch making it a full automatic knife and a spring assisted is that you actually have to put pressure on the blade to activate it making it totally legal in all stated unless your city says otherwise. Most officers(and people) are becoming more aware of this law....

The 2nd gen looks so much more comfortable to hold.

@SwissStallion51 plastic.

[JMO916]

So what is the main difference between otf and 'spring assisted' otf? I feel an uneducated officer would be easily confused. The lever/switch thing looks to be attached to the blade and that's good considering California law, Do you have to overcome a decent amount of pressure to open it or is there pressure biasing blade closed at first?

@SwissStallion51 It's very stout aluminium, so to answer your question, metal.
