FAQ

Is gravity knife the same as OTF knife?

No. The terms can appear near each other in search results, but they describe different mechanism ideas and should not be merged into one claim.

Why keep this page neutral?

The term is mechanism-led and sensitive, so the page focuses only on product-type explanation and related category routing.
