Is this knife spring assisted opening?

no, but it has a quillon that you can snag on you jean pocket and open just as fast.

No it's not but it opens so easily it may as well be, You can either hook it on your pants pocket while you draw the knife (quickest opening I have seen on any knife) or you can flick the thumb stud, You may have to adjust the screw for smoothest opening but it works really well, I'd rate it almost as fast as a GOOD spring assisted knife like my SOG Flashback.

It is not spring assisted, it does open easily with one hand and flick of the wrist though. it is a very sharp knife and the edge is easily maintained.

No its not. Like the previous review said it easily opens with one hand. I use the thumb stud mainly. Its a right hand only thumb stud too. Just a warning

It opens like a regular folding knife. However it is assisted. This has one of the stronger assisted opens that I have seen. It opens pretty fast and with total ease.

No. There is a button to push on the handle. But it is not spring assisted. Iactually don't even use this knife anymore because of that reason

No it is not. But it has a very smooth action. Opening it is easy and fast just a flick of the wrist. I carry this knife every day and love it I use the heck out of it as well. It gets opened at least 6 times a day.

The knife springs out some, but you can open it the rest of the way with the flick of the wrist. It is very durable as well. I use it every day and it has held up well.

No, no spring assist. There is a slight detent that holds it closed. Once you open it slightly past the detent the blade can easily flick open all the way. The action is very smoothe and the blade locks up tight.

there is no spring action, but instead the knife can be flipped out by pressing on a little piece at the bottom of the blade....when you put pressure there the blade swings open

Yes, and no. SpeedSafe is Kershaw's rendition of "spring assisted." Function-wise, yes it opens like a spring assisted. However, some states have restrictions on spring assisted knives, yet to my knowledge, Kershaw's SpeedSafe is legal in all 50 states.

Yes it is spring assisted. Once it moves it immediately opens all the way. How fast does it open? Well it is spring assisted so it opens pretty fast.Hope that helps.

It is not a spring assisted open.The only 'spring' is the liner lock that keeps the blade locked when extended and provides friction to keep it shutIt is one hand openable

It is not a "switch" blade if that is what you mean by "assisted opening blade". You have to open the blade manually and it locks firmly into position. There is a finger press release mechanism used to manually close the blade. I find the device to be solid and not too large considering its multi-use design.

No, but it opens very nice and smooth. I think that I will get more. These are very solid and a good everyday knife and for the price you really can't beat it.

No it is not. It has a nob flick open (typically pushed out by your thumb if opened by a single hand), there is no assisted mechanism on this knife. The opening is smooth but I found it to be a bit awkward, I have many thumb open knives like this one and it is just something about the design that feels off in my hand but only when opening, once open - the knife is absolutely fantastic in almost every way. (But you probably are familiar with benchmade)Cheers

This product is not spring assist, but it very easy to open or flip open by quickly moving your wrist outward away from your body. its kind of like backward slashing when using a sword...
