Telum Aftershock Tactical Automatic Knife 3-1/2" Tanto Blade Black

The Telum Aftershock is a Rock Ridge Outdoors tactical automatic knife built for operators who need reliable, no-nonsense deployment. This 3-1/2" tanto blade automatic knife combines aggressive design with practical engineering—a push-button opener that deploys fast and locks solid when you need it. The D2 black titanium-coated blade and contoured G10 handle give you a tool that's equally at home in a go-bag, on duty, or in your truck.

The Aftershock's tanto profile cuts clean and holds an edge, while the flat grind keeps it working through tough jobs. At 4.5 inches closed, it carries discreetly but deploys with authority. The reversible tip-up pocket clip works left or right, so you can carry it your way. A slide safety lock on the back prevents accidental button activation—lock the button in open or closed position and keep things secure until you're ready to move.

Rock Ridge Outdoors built this knife with a blue titanium-coated liner as a nod to law enforcement. The coil spring mechanism means full opening with a single push and a satisfying snap. If you're after a tactical automatic knife that doesn't overthink the job, the Aftershock delivers straightforward performance in a rugged package.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Telum Aftershock legal to own and carry?

Automatic knives are legal in some states and prohibited in others, and regulations vary by locality. We strongly recommend you research your local, state, and federal laws before purchasing. Bosque Outdoors cannot provide legal advice—contact your local law enforcement or a firearms attorney to confirm the knife is legal in your jurisdiction.

Can I carry this knife tip-up and tip-down?

The pocket clip is reversible, which means you can flip it to carry tip-up on the left or right side. The clip itself will not flip the knife to tip-down carry; it is designed for tip-up carry orientation.

What does the slide safety lock do?

The slide safety lock on the back of the knife locks the push-button in place—either in the open or closed position—so it cannot be accidentally activated. Slide it to lock or unlock as needed.

What kind of blade steel is this and how does it hold an edge?

The Aftershock uses D2 steel with a black titanium coating. D2 is a tool steel known for good edge retention and corrosion resistance, especially with the titanium coating. The flat grind supports cutting performance across a range of tasks.
