The Vulcan series is named after General Electric's M61A1 Vulcan is a 6-barrel 20mm cannon of the gatling-type. It fires standard M50 ammunition at 6,000 rounds per minute and is integral part of the armament of modern fighters such as the F-15, F-18 and of course the F-16. This knife also features full steel liners enclosed in glass reinforced Zytel handles. The blade is .125" thick with a spear point tip. You just press on the back of the blade and whip the handle slightly and the knife comes right out. This is a manual open--not spring assisted. It also has a reversible clip and double thumb studs. A great knife from an outstanding company.
