Ocaso Knives OTF Auto Lucent Large Black Pinstripe Straight Handle M390 Blade

The Ocaso Knives OTF Auto Lucent Large Black Pinstripe Straight Handle M390 Blade is a refined out-the-front automatic built for users who value precision engineering, premium materials, and understated design. Developed by custom knifemaker Andrew Demko, the Lucent reflects a thoughtful approach to modern OTF construction, delivering fast, effortless blade action in a slim, lightweight form that carries discreetly and performs with authority.

This Large model features a dual-action out-the-front automatic mechanism that deploys and retracts the blade smoothly with a confident thumb slide. The 3.5-inch harpoon-style blade offers excellent piercing capability and a strong cutting profile, making it well suited for everyday carry tasks that demand reliability and control. Crafted from premium Böhler M390 steel and hardened to 59–61 HRC, the blade delivers exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability. A clean satin finish highlights the precision grind and reinforces the knife’s professional aesthetic.

The handle is constructed from anodized 6061-T6 aluminum, keeping overall weight to a remarkably light 2.2 ounces while maintaining strength and rigidity. The black pinstripe straight handle design adds a subtle visual contrast while providing a secure, comfortable grip. Jimping along the top and underside of the handle enhances traction during deployment and retraction, ensuring confident operation even in demanding conditions. With an overall length of 7.9 inches and a slim 1.2 mm blade thickness, the Lucent Large balances full-size capability with excellent pocketability.

An ambidextrous deep-carry pocket clip wraps cleanly around the handle, contributing to the knife’s sleek, modern profile and allowing discreet carry on either side. In the pocket, the Lucent appears modest and unassuming, avoiding the bulky presence often associated with out-the-front automatics while still offering premium performance when called upon.

Precision-made components by Bestech are expertly assembled in California, ensuring smooth action, tight tolerances, and consistent quality throughout. The result is an OTF automatic from Ocaso Knives that pairs high-end materials with thoughtful design, offering refined performance in a clean, modern package built to be carried and trusted.
