The article, written by Randall Chaney for "The Armory Life," reviews the Bear & Son Double Clutch IV Out-the-Front (OTF) knife, a product from the Bear OPS division of the Bear & Son Knife company, based in Jacksonville, Alabama. The review highlights the knife's automatic-opening mechanism and evaluates its functionality, detailing the smooth double-action feature where a sliding trigger extends and retracts the blade automatically. Chaney emphasizes the knife’s quality, mentioning its D2 tool steel blade, known for its edge retention and toughness. However, he advises prospective buyers to check local laws regarding ownership and use of automatic knives. The article also provides a hands-on perspective, demonstrating the knife's effectiveness in everyday tasks like cutting paracord and cardboard while appreciating its grip and stainless steel detailing. The review concludes by assessing its user-friendliness for everyday carry and comments on its affordability compared to retail prices. Chaney also compares it to larger models like the Bear & Son American 502D Bowie, underscoring the brand's consistent quality control across different knife models.

The Microtech OTF Automatic Knife: A High-Quality and Versatile EDC Option

If you are in the market for a new pocket knife, you may have come across the term "OTF," which stands for "out-the-front." OTF knives, also known as "sliding knives" or "automatic knives," have a blade that is released and locked into place using a button or switch, rather than a traditional manual opening mechanism like a thumb stud or lever. One popular brand of OTF knives is Microtech, which is known for producing high-quality and versatile EDC options.

Microtech OTF automatic knife is designed with both form and function in mind. They are made with high-quality materials like stainless steel and titanium, which are resistant to corrosion and wear. This makes them a great choice for everyday use, as they can withstand the rigors of regular use without failing or breaking.

In addition to their durability, Microtech OTF automatic knife is also known for their versatility. Many models come with a variety of blade styles, including drop point, tanto, and spear point, which can be useful for a wide range of tasks. Some Microtech OTF knives also have additional features like a glass breaker or seatbelt cutter, which can be useful in emergency situations.

One of the main advantages of an Microtech OTF automatic knife is the speed and convenience of the opening mechanism. With a simple press of a button or switch, the blade can be quickly and easily deployed, making it a great choice for situations where time is of the essence. This can be particularly useful for those who work in law enforcement, the military, or other professions where quick access to a knife may be necessary.

Despite their many advantages, OTF knives are not legal in all areas. In some states and countries, it is illegal to own or carry an OTF knife, while in others there may be restrictions on the size or blade length of the knife. It is important to familiarize yourself with the laws in your area before purchasing or carrying an OTF knife.

If you are looking for a high-quality and versatile EDC option, a Microtech OTF automatic knife may be the right choice for you. With their speed and ease of use, durability, and wide range of blade styles, these knives are a popular choice among those who need a knife that is ready for anything. Just be sure to check the laws in your area before purchasing or carrying an OTF knife.

When it comes to choosing a Microtech OTF knife, there are a wide range of options available on the market. Some popular models include the Microtech Ultratech, the Microtech Combat Troodon, and the Microtech UTX-85. It is important to do your research and select a model that meets your specific needs and preferences.

In addition to the model, you will also want to consider the type of blade and handle material. Some common blade materials for a Microtech OTF automatic knife include stainless steel, carbon steel, and titanium, each of which has its own unique set of characteristics and benefits. As for handle material, options include materials like wood, G10, and Micarta, each of which offers a different level of grip and durability.

Okay but does Billy buy Stu a knife too and if so what kind of knife is it 🥺 (I imagine these are their engagement rings tbh)

Yeah absolutely, Billy will give Stu many knives over the course of their lives. I think I am going to have him give him one later in WoM so spoilers below if you don’t want to know what kind of knife it will be.

So Billy’s going to give Stu an OTF knife. OTF stands for Out The Front, meaning that the blade pops straight out of the front of the handle, instead of swinging out to the side like an OTS (or out the side) knife. This means that theoretically you could stick the handle against someone then hit the button and the knife would sort of stab them on its own.

Here’s an example of an OTF knife

And here’s an example of an OTS knife for comparison.

It’s a small difference but it makes OTF knives fast. You don’t need to worry about where your fingers are when you open one, you just hit the button and the blade pops out. As such they’re considered to be better for self-defense but they’re also more controversial in some places because they’re seen as more likely to be used against people.

Something about this just seems like Stu to me. It’s a modern design, it’s fast, it’s brutal, (it’s the type of knife the Joker carries in the dark knight returns lmao), and I think that’s what Billy would be thinking about when he picks it out.

In terms of specifics I’m thinking something like this

Or better yet something serrated like this

It doesn’t have a super long blade, neither of these is longer than 4 inches, but the pocket knife Stu gives Billy is pretty short too. It's not a one-stab kill kind of knife, if the user wants to cause real damage they either need to be precise and target tendons and arteries or they need to stab a whole lot. It's portable though, and you could definitely use it to romantically slice your boyfriend.

Hey, so I was thinking again about how weird it was that when Ace was executed he wasn't wearing his signature boots when suddenly an idea occurred to me:

What if the reason they took away his boots and gave him those moccasins instead was because he had knives in his boots?

And I don't mean just tucked into the shaft of the boot, because that would be far too easy to remove—what if the knife was built into the boot itself?

What if he had OTF (out-the-front) knives (also known as sliding knives) built into the toes of his boots, and the reason they were taken away was because he had stabbed (or tried to stab) a guard (or maybe even the warden) with them...

Just like they took the knife he'd had hanging on his belt, they also took his stabby boots.

Shattered Memories - Prologue

Okay, let's be serious. English IS NOT my mother tongue (it's Polish which kinda... sucks at some points ig) so if you find ANY MISTAKES, write to me (a comment or whatever). I'm translating that fic from Polish to English OTF. Why I am writing about recom! Quaritch? Hmm, let me think. I saw ATWOW 4 times and I OBSESS OVER HIM. Jesus, I know that man is bad (I hope he'll get a redemption arc), evil, etc., but, Lord have mercy, look at him. He's gorgeous as a Na'vi. Man. So I decided to make a history that takes place and time AFTER ATWOW (if you didn't watch that movie - oopsie but that story contains spoilers).

[1,028 words]

Pairing: Na'vi Quaritch x Na'vi Fem OC

TW: blood, death mention, cursing

A/n: I hope you'll enjoy! Bold words are in Na'vi.

tswin - a queue, a braid

vrrtep - a demon

ikran – a banshee

palulukan – thanator

A trace was fresh. In the air was the delicate scent of yerik, the Pandorian kind of deer. Nuyia stalked carefully, trying to be quiet. An animal wasn't that far away and was probably grazing near a watering hole, perhaps even closer.

The girl stood up and quietly jumped onto the branch, clearly seeing the tracks in the mud. She began to follow yerik, literally crawling. A drop of water fell on her forehead and ran down her young face. When she was closer to the herd of animals, she took of her bow from her shoulder. She bit her lower lip and concentrated on the hunt. Nuyia held her breath.

Suddenly, yerik raised its head, and startled with a loud scream. This happened before she fired an arrow and killed the animal. Nuyia examined the trees, trying to spy something or an enemy. And finally, she saw it.

The passenger of ikran that Nuyia saw above the treetop fell. Ikran was screaming and the unconscious or dead blue body was covered with bruises.

She hissed, her tail moving aggressively from left to right. Nuyia saw an avatar, a dreamwalker. Again, she took her bow and aimed at the motionless enemy. The dreamwalker was a tall man in a tank top and combats with a scabbard and a small belt pouch attached to his belt loop. A knife had probably fallen out in the fall. Nuyia looked around and found the knife. It was different from the Na'vi knives, more rectangular. The blade was also different - smooth on one side and serrated on the other. A handle was artificial and smooth. Disgusting. She made a face and threw the knife away, cursing.

She should kill him. She must kill him. He was a demon. A badly injured, unconscious, fuckin', demon. He was bleeding terribly from many wounds - on his head, arms, chest. She looks at him with hatred in her big, yellow eyes.

“If you… If you wanna kill me, then do so, sweetie.” He muttered suddenly, smirking at the same time. The man’s voice was hoarse and tired. His eyes were strange – not yellow, more like greenish-yellow. She hissed in reply, and the man laughed weakly. A few seconds later he fainted again.

Nuyia seriously wanted to kill this abomination, this damned dreamwalker who was definitely an enemy. He couldn't be good. Sky People weren't good enough to live.

But… She couldn't. She couldn't kill this blue, tall man with the strange mark on his left arm. Besides, he was hurt, and hurt badly enough that Nuyia, as a healer and former student of Unipey from the Tipani clan, should help and take care of him. Even if he was evil. A dreamwalker. A Sky Person.

Finally, she sighed, leaned toward him, and grabbed his muscular arm. She gave way to his weight, moaning and calling her ikran. Nuyia heard a familiar sound and saw Atan - her own banshee. Atan has blue, yellow and purple stripes on his body. She smiled when she saw him. She walked slowly towards him and took a robe from the bag attached to the saddle. Nuyia grabbed the unconscious man and tied him to the ikran and the saddle. His upper body was wobbling back and onward, so she jumped and used the rest of the robe to bind the demon to her.

She said Atan to go home. Ikran squawked loudly then soared.

“Great Mother Eywa, what have I done?” She thought while she was flying to her house and holding a stranger. “And what I ought to do with that vrrtep?”.

Nuyia lived alone in small, old particularly dilapidated school building where Rene Harper taught the young Na’vi English, math, and other things. She didn’t remember him – he died before she was born, but she knows his story from her own mother – he was killed over twenty years ago by Commander Falco, the former RDA chief.

Atan landed in front of the house, Nuyia untied a rope and jumped. She untied a stranger to and dragged him to the house. He was extremely heavy. She noticed that the demon was more muscular than a normal Na’vi man – his shoulders were broader than usual, and his waist was very trim. His physique resembled a triangle. Nuyia laid him down on her sleeping mat. Then she searched for drugs, herbs, and fabric to make a bandage for his wounds. When she found out what she needed, she was shocked to discover that he was really hurt. More than she thought. Nuyia saw a large purple bruise on his chest. She cursed and took a small wooden cannula and a bowl.

She took her curved knife made from palulukan fang and bit into the bruise. The blood became visible. Nuyia quickly bit the cannula. The blood flowed slowly into the bowl. At the same time, she dressed other wounds that were less serious than the one on the chest. She made a bandage from scraps of fabric and bandaged his head.

“He has a strange haircut. Really strange. And stupid. His hair doesn’t really cover his tswin properly.” She thought.

Nuyia applied the ointment, his body struggled in pain and he regained consciousness.

“Wha… Who the hell are u?” He said quietly. “Are u tryin’ to kill me? What the fuck are u doin’?!”

He tried to sit up but she put her small hand on his shoulder and pushed him up.

“Lie down, demon. And don’t get up again if you want to live longer,” she hissed at him aggressively. “You should be glad I didn’t kill you in the forest.”

He tried again to sit up.

“I said LIE DOWN!”

He grinned.

“I hope you’re not tryin’ to kill me, sweetie. You shouldn’t.”

“If I wanted to, I’d have to kill you before. You are weak. Like a baby, so don’t test me. Lie down, I will bring the food.” She grunted, then left the house.

“I really shouldn’t save his life. Great Mother Eywa, why? Why am I so stupid? Why did I help that demon? Why… Why again?"

Microtech warranty has a special section for sending your knife in for work if it’s got blood on/in it. I always considered that a big downside to the OTF design, if you have to stab a mother fucker with it, cleaning the knife later will be a bitch (and apparently possibly require shipment back to Microtech).

DLC - Battle of the Bands Prediction

Since there might be a direct any day now, I decided now would be a good time to post my idea, unfortunately didn't have the time to draw anything but I think I can write it out well enough

The Battle of the Bands prediction is just that, a literal battle of the bands. What with OTF getting new members (and heavily implied to be important to the DLC), Harmony appearing in game and the wall outside of Hotlantis being covered in band member signatures, I feel that the bands of Splatoon are getting a lot more important to the actual story.

My prediction is that the DLC will be based on a big music festival, similar to the Deep Sea Rave. Everyone's there, frome old Splatoon 1 bands to the new kids on the block, C-Side. Ink Theory and Bottom Feeder's are of course at each other's throats and the tension between Front Roe and Disspair is thick enough to cut with a knife. Despite the egos and diva tendencies being on display, the event seems to be going rather smoothly.

Until a brand new band debuting at the festival arrives. It's all boy band, and everyone seems immediately enamored with them and their sound, even though to us the player it seems a bit...generic? It gets to the point that the new band is getting more attention than anyone else, even completely commandeering other bands sets for their own. Something is very wrong.

We play as ethier a groupie for an already established band or maybe a member of a small up and coming band that got their set stolen by the new band and it's our job to get to the bottom of this, as only we notice that these boys seem...off.

As you go through the DLC, you start fighting the boys of the band one by one, even having a few fights with older bands as well. You notice that which ever boy from the new band fights you, they're back on stage not a second later.

You get deeper, behind the food stalls and the the band vans and the venue organizers and find a pretty large lab hidden deep in the streets of Splatsville. You enter, and anyone who's seen the end levels of Octo Expansion definitely feels like their experiencing a bit of deja vu. You start to find rows and rows of clones of the members of the new boy band, as well as evidence that maybe Tartar had completed that ultimate lifeform after all. There's also evidence implying that maybe the Marigolds are also in on this cloning scheme.

These machines seem to be running off of power eggs, and the machines the boys used to fight you dropped golden eggs after you defeated them. All signs point to Grizzco being behind this, but Mr. Grizzco was defeated, so who...

Y'all know who...

That's as far as I've gotten with this prediction. The reasoning for cloning the boys or using Grizzco assets to make the band? All part of the little clone's to somehow overthrow the true Judd. The exact reason still escapes me, but knowing Splatoon, it's certainly gonna be very very wacky.

And I wouldn't have it any other way

The Power and Precision of Spring-Assisted Knives

Spring-assisted knives are an exceptional tool, known for their ease of use, speed, and reliability. These knives have gained popularity among outdoor enthusiasts, emergency responders, and collectors. If you're looking for a versatile and efficient cutting tool, spring-assisted knives offer a range of benefits. Here’s why these knives stand out. What Are Spring-Assisted Knives? Spring-assisted knives are designed with a mechanism that uses a spring to assist in the blade deployment. Unlike traditional folding knives, which require manual effort to open, these knives feature a spring that helps the blade open quickly with just a slight push on a thumb stud or flipper tab. This mechanism ensures that the blade is ready to use in an instant, making these knives a great choice for situations where speed and convenience are key. Benefits of Spring-Assisted Knives

Quick Deployment The most notable feature of spring-assisted otf knives knives is their quick blade deployment. With the push of a button or flick of the wrist, the blade springs open, ready for action in mere seconds. This makes them ideal for situations where quick access to a blade is necessary, such as in emergencies, outdoor activities, or tactical scenarios.

Enhanced Safety Spring-assisted knives come with built-in safety mechanisms to prevent accidental blade deployment. The locking mechanism ensures that the blade stays securely in place when closed, reducing the risk of injury. This feature makes them safer for everyday carry and use, providing peace of mind for the user.

Compact and Lightweight Spring-assisted knives are available in a variety of sizes, many of which are compact and lightweight. This makes them easy to carry, whether clipped to your pocket, belt, or bag. Their portability and convenience make them an excellent choice for those who need a reliable cutting tool on the go.

Versatile Use These knives are perfect for a wide range of applications. Whether you’re camping, hiking, hunting, or simply need a reliable tool for everyday tasks, a spring-assisted knife can handle it all. Their versatility makes them an excellent investment for those who value functionality in their gear. How to Choose the Right Spring-Assisted Knife Choosing the right spring-assisted knife depends on your personal needs and preferences. Here are a few factors to consider:

Blade Material The quality of the blade material plays a significant role in the knife's durability and sharpness. Look for high-carbon steel or stainless steel blades, as these offer excellent edge retention and rust resistance.

Locking Mechanism Ensure that the knife has a reliable locking mechanism to keep the blade secure while in use. Popular lock types include liner locks, frame locks, and axis locks, each offering its own level of security.

Handle Design Comfort and grip are essential for safe and effective use. Look for knives with ergonomic handles made of materials such as aluminum, titanium, or G-10, which provide a solid grip even in wet or slippery conditions.

Blade Length and Style Consider the blade length and style based on your intended use. For general tasks, a blade length of 3-4 inches is ideal. For specific tasks like tactical or self-defense, a longer, more robust blade may be required. Are Spring-Assisted Knives Legal? It’s important to check the laws in your area regarding the legality of carrying spring-assisted knives. In many places, these knives are legal for personal use, though some regions may have restrictions on carrying them in public spaces. Always ensure that you're following local regulations before purchasing or carrying a spring-assisted knife.
