Frequently Asked Questions
What is an OTF knife?
An OTF (out-the-front) knife deploys its blade straight out the front of the handle instead of pivoting open like a folder. The Benchmade Infidel 3300 is a double-action OTF, so the same switch both fires and retracts the blade.
How does the Benchmade Infidel 3300 OTF mechanism work?
Slide the switch forward and the Benchmade Infidel 3300 fires its D2 dagger blade out the front and locks it open. Pull the switch back and the blade retracts fully into the aluminum handle. The double-action design needs no manual cocking between deployments.
What blade steel does the Benchmade Infidel 3300 use?
The Benchmade Infidel 3300 uses D2 tool steel, a high-carbon, wear-resistant steel that takes a keen edge and suits the knife's dagger-style tactical role.
