Krate Tactical Parallax OTF Knife
The Krate Tactical Parallax OTF deploys a 3 1/4-inch D2 steel dual-edge blade with a thumb slide and runs in a contoured aluminum handle. Same dual-action mechanism and ceramic glass breaker as the rest of the Krate OTF line, configured around a symmetrical dual-edge profile for operators who want a dedicated tactical blade rather than a utility cutter.

- Ceramic tip glass breaker: Built into the pommel for emergency situations.

- Right-hand and left-hand use.
- Includes nylon sheath, storage box, and disassembly tool.
- Lifetime warranty from the manufacturer (excludes loss or theft).
Why It Matters in the Field
A dual-edge blade is a deliberate choice. The symmetrical edge profile favors point control and orientation under pressure rather than slicing or cordage work. The Parallax runs that geometry on the proven Krate OTF mechanism, in an all-aluminum handle that drops the G10 scales for a cleaner profile.
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
How does the Parallax differ from the Ghost?
Both are dual-edge OTFs in the Krate line. The Parallax runs an all-aluminum handle in black; the Ghost runs an aluminum frame with black G10 scales. Mechanism and blade are otherwise the same configuration class.
Is a dual-edge OTF legal where I am?
Dual-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 dual-edge restrictions.
Does it ship to APO/FPO addresses?
Yes. tacticaledge.com ships free to all APO and FPO addresses. Automatic and dual-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 dual edges?
D2 at 58HRC 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.
