Guardian Tactical GTX-025 OTF - Blue Aluminum - Stonewash Elmax Tanto Blade - 12-4521BL

Elmax OTF with Aluminum Handles

The Guardian Tactical GTX-025 is a compact automatic OTF (out-the-front) knife built for users who want fast, reliable deployment in a small package. The double-action mechanism fires the blade out and retracts it with a single slide of the thumb switch, making it well suited for daily carry or field use.

Blade

The 2.75" tanto blade is made from Elmax steel with a stonewash finish. Elmax is a powder-metallurgy stainless steel that balances high edge retention, good toughness, and strong corrosion resistance, making it a reliable choice for hard use. The tanto shape adds a reinforced tip that holds up well to piercing and harder use.

Handle

The handle is machined aluminum, giving the knife a lightweight yet rigid frame. At just 2.26oz, it carries almost unnoticed in the pocket while still offering a durable, corrosion-resistant housing for the internal mechanism.

Carry

This is an automatic OTF knife with a slide-actuated firing mechanism and a lock built into the mechanism to keep the blade secure once deployed. The pocket clip is set up for right-hand, tip-down carry only.

Made in the USA.
