The Schrade 1159305 Uproar delivers reliable out-the-front automatic deployment in a compact tactical package. This OTF knife combines D2 tool steel performance with aluminum construction for consistent operation across demanding applications. The part-serrated blade configuration handles both precision cutting and aggressive material processing.
What Makes This Different
The Uproar features dual-action OTF mechanics that deploy and retract the blade with the same firing button, eliminating the need for separate controls found on many automatic knives. D2 tool steel offers superior edge retention compared to standard stainless options, maintaining sharpness through extended cutting sessions. The black oxide coating reduces glare and provides corrosion resistance beyond uncoated carbon steel alternatives.
Key Features
- 3-inch D2 tool steel blade with part-serrated edge for versatile cutting performance
- Dual-action out-the-front mechanism with single-button operation
- Flat Dark Earth textured aluminum handle provides secure grip in wet conditions
- Black oxide blade coating resists corrosion and eliminates reflective surfaces
- Compact OTF design allows one-handed deployment and retraction
- Dagger-style blade profile optimized for penetration and control
- Textured handle scales prevent slippage during extended use
Field performance centers on the D2 steel's ability to maintain a working edge through rope, webbing, and cardboard without frequent resharpening. The OTF mechanism functions reliably in tactical scenarios where blade deployment speed matters. Law enforcement and military personnel value the one-handed operation for situations requiring the support hand to remain free. The aluminum construction keeps overall weight manageable for everyday carry while providing structural integrity for demanding cutting tasks.
