Sliding Knife - Gravity OTF Knives

Gravity OTF Knives

A gravity OTF knife is also not considered a slider, because the blade extends outward by force of gravity or inertia, instead of finger pressure.

The term gravity knife should primarily reference the Fallschirmjaeger-Messer as the archetypical example.
