Krate Tactical Ghost OTF Knife
The Krate Tactical Ghost OTF deploys a 3 1/4-inch D2 steel double-edge blade with a thumb slide and runs on the same dual-action mechanism as the rest of the Krate OTF line. Built around a contoured Aluminum Alloy frame with black G10 scales, the Ghost configures the platform around a symmetrical double-edge profile for operators who want a dedicated tactical blade rather than a utility cutter.

Why It Matters in the Field
A double-edge blade is a deliberate choice. It commits to a tactical role over a general-utility one — the symmetrical edge profile is purpose-built for control under pressure rather than for slicing or cordage work. The Ghost runs that geometry on the proven Krate OTF mechanism, with a ceramic glass breaker built into the pommel for vehicle egress.
For LE and military personnel who carry primarily as a defensive tool, the dual-action mechanism allows the support hand to stay engaged with whatever the situation requires while the blade deploys and retracts on a single slide.

FAQ
Why a double-edge blade?
The double-edge profile commits to a tactical role over a general-utility one. The symmetrical geometry favors point control and orientation under pressure. For operators who want a dedicated defensive blade rather than a utility cutter, it is purpose-built.
Is a double-edge OTF legal where I am?
Double-edge blades carry additional restrictions in some jurisdictions on top of the general automatic knife laws. The customer is responsible for verifying state, county, and municipal regulations before ordering. Active-duty military and LE personnel are typically exempt from most automatic and double-edge restrictions.
Does it ship to APO/FPO addresses?
Yes. tacticaledge.com ships free to all APO and FPO addresses. Automatic and double-edge knives may carry additional shipping restrictions overseas; reach out before ordering if you have questions.
Can I deploy it one-handed under stress?
Yes. The thumb slide handles both deployment and retraction, and the configuration runs in either hand.
How does D2 steel perform on a double-edge?
D2 at 58HRC is a high-carbon, high-chromium tool steel that holds two edges as well as it holds one. It is harder to resharpen than stainless but offers longer edge retention between sharpenings.
What is included?
Knife, nylon sheath, storage box, and disassembly tool.
What does the warranty cover?
Krate Tactical backs the knife with a lifetime warranty, excluding loss or theft.
