Modern Quick-Deploy Switchblades

Tekto Gear Built the Amber Knife, a Switchblade for Everyday Use

Outdoors company Tekto Gear created the new Amber pocket knife, a switchblade that was made for everyday use.

With a 3.8-inch chrome steel blade, the knife works with a quick, automatic mechanism that is activated by a dual action switch on the side. By using a double-edge blade, the knife is able to stand up to any cutting task from camping, to office work. The Amber knife has a durable and unique wood handle that holds a glass breaker, and a clip to attach the knife to pants or a wallet.

Available in a dark red or black color, Tekto Gear's Amber pocket knife is a discrete and easy to use product that is highly functional and aesthetically pleasing.
