Guardian Tactical - Scout Black Dark Stonewash S/E

About this item

Guardian Tactical Scout OTF Automatic Knife | Black Aluminum Handle, Dark Stonewash ELMAX Clip Point Blade The Guardian Tactical Scout is a USA made, double action OTF (out the front) automatic knife built for everyday carry. It pairs a 3.375" ELMAX steel clip point blade with a lightweight black aluminum handle, and at 3.13 oz it carries easily in a front pocket.

Why the Scout Stands Out The heart of the Scout is Guardian Tactical’s patented ball bearing drive system. One push of the thumb slide fires the blade forward, and one pull brings it back, with the same smooth, consistent action every time. The slide is designed for easy one handed use, so it stays comfortable even with frequent use throughout the day.

The blade is ELMAX, a premium powder steel known for holding an edge a long time, resisting corrosion, and standing up to hard use. A hollow grind and plain edge give you clean, controlled cuts for everyday tasks like opening boxes, cutting cord, and general utility work. The dark stonewash finish hides scratches and wear well.

The black aluminum handle is machined for strength without extra bulk. Jimping adds grip and control, and the shape stays comfortable during longer use. A titanium pocket clip holds the knife securely for tip down, right hand carry, and the triple ball bearing glass breaker on the butt end adds emergency utility.

Common Questions What does double action OTF mean? The blade both deploys and retracts using the same thumb slide. Push forward to open, pull back to close.
