OVERVIEW
Form meets function.
The Zhànshì (Warrior) OTF Knife is a full size fully automatic double action OTF (out the front) Knife that comes standard with CNC aviation aluminum handles. The all CNC construction of the Zhànshì makes for a precision fit & finish not only on the exterior of the knife but also on the inside operating components as well. Aviation aluminum is strong, lightweight and elegant in appearance and feel.
Perfect in every way.
When it comes to a hard use tool like the Zhànshì (Warrior), ergonomics are everything. The Zhànshì’s handle shape strikes the perfect balance of form and function becoming an extension of the operator when in use. The Zhànshì (Warrior) fits comfortably in forward, reverse, and scythe grips. The modern “Tire Tread” textured grip on the handles keeps the knife firmly seated in your hand while performing chores. Jimping is strategically placed around the handles to give you added grip while your fingers are wrapped around the knife. The curved Tanto blade in the Zhànshì is stunning and reminiscent of a traditional Japanese Tanto blade with a few modern enhancements including jimping along the spine of the blade and sharp lines leading into its armor piercing point.
Details that matter.
Inside the Zhànshì (Warrior) OTF knife, you will find our new dual spring technology where two springs give the Zhànshì its authority and consistency while firing. We have also redesigned the button (trigger) for better grip and position when deploying the blade. The button features sharp details and smooth action while being less obtrusive in your pocket. The Zhànshì’s pocket clip makes for a fast draw and easy retrieval whenever you need to put it to work. Other fine details include a “battle tested” glass breaker and sleek screw design to complete the Zhànshì’s distinguished look. The Zhànshì (Warrior) will most certainly please even the most discerning of aficionados.
All RavenCrest Tactical OTF knives are extremely safe to operate and use.
RavenCrest Tactical OTF knives come with a built-in safety that will not allow the blade to fully deploy if anything is obstructing its path. Once in “safety mode” the blade will need to be reset by pulling the blade all the way into its locking position making it fully functional again.

This knife was exactly what I was looking for. I customized it to fit my needs and was pleased with the result. I will be recommending this knife, as a build their own, to my coworkers.

BUYER BEWARE! I ordered a build-your-own Zhanshi OTF knife because I wanted the knife blacked-out. While building the knife everything looked as I wanted it as pictured in the online model. When I received the knife there was a weird date of “11/2022” engraved right below the Ravencrest tactical emblem on the pocket clip. When I reached out to customer service about what looks like to be a mistake on my order, the woman in customer service informed me that this was the manufacturer’s stamp and would not help me further. Why would you put a random date on the only part that is visible when the knife is clipped in my pants pocket? The weird date of “11/2022” engravement was never shown in the online picture model as I was building my custom knife so buyers beware! Pictured knife pocket clips will not come as shown.
What confuses me further is that I also own an older RCT-1 Raven OTF knife from ravencrest tactical and that knife’s pocket clip does not have a randomly engraved date on it.

LOVE this knife! Tank tough is true too. I use this as my work knife and beat the living shit out of it. Broke the tip off (drop point) ground it to a tanto and kept going. Is it weird that I bought another for when I go out I have a “nice looking ” one in my pocket?🤣🤣 Can’t beat the RCT!
