Wholesale Knives

Streetwise Security Products carries wholesale knives across six distinct categories, with over seven pages of SKUs available to authorized dealers. Disguised everyday carry knives include comb knives, lipstick knives, pen knives, and brush knives — designed to look like ordinary objects while functioning as concealed blades. OTF (Out-the-Front) automatic knives from Armed Force Tactical and ElitEdge are available in standard and mini keyring formats. Butterfly knives and trainer butterfly knives cover both the tactical and practice markets. Tactical fixed-blade designs include the Karambit, push dagger, and rescue knife styles. Specialty EDC knives include the Military Medallion Rescue Knife and Kubotan Hidden Knife. Streetwise is a member of the American Knife and Tool Institute (AKTI), reflecting our commitment to responsible manufacturing and dealer support across the knife category.

Wholesale knife pricing at Streetwise starts as low as $1.92 per unit for disguised everyday carry designs like the Comb Knife, making them among the most accessible SKUs in our entire catalog. Mid-range tactical and specialty designs — including butterfly knives, karambits, and rescue knives — typically wholesale between $4 and $8. Premium OTF automatic knives from Armed Force Tactical wholesale from $7.55 to $16.10 depending on model and size. Most knife SKUs retail between $9.99 and $39.99, with disguised and novelty designs offering some of the best margin-to-price ratios in the collection. Volume discounts activate on orders of $500 or more, with weekly specials on rotating SKUs.

Knife laws in the United States vary significantly by state, county, and city — and this category requires more dealer diligence than most. Fixed-blade and folding knives are legal to sell and carry in most states, but blade length limits and carry restrictions (concealed vs. open) vary locally. Automatic knives, including OTF designs, are regulated in a meaningful number of states and restricted or prohibited in others — including California, New York, and several other jurisdictions. Butterfly knives are prohibited or classified as dangerous weapons in some states. Disguised knives, such as comb and lipstick knife designs, may be subject to concealed weapon statutes in certain jurisdictions regardless of blade length. As a wholesale dealer, verifying the laws in your customers' locations before selling or shipping is your legal responsibility. Streetwise maintains a Selling and Shipping Restrictions page with current guidance, and we do not ship to prohibited locations. Streetwise is also a member of AKTI, which provides ongoing legislative resources for dealers navigating knife law.

The best wholesale knives for resale depend on your sales channel. For gun shows, flea markets, and in-person events, disguised everyday carry designs — comb knives, lipstick knives, and pen knives — are reliable impulse buys at accessible retail price points, with wholesale costs starting under $2. OTF automatic knives are strong performers for dealers targeting tactical and EDC buyers, offering higher per-unit margins and consistent demand from serious knife enthusiasts. Butterfly trainer knives are a lower-risk entry point for dealers in markets with butterfly knife restrictions, since trainers typically have a blunted edge and face fewer legal barriers. For dealers building a full knife category, stocking a mix of disguised carry, OTF, and fixed-blade rescue styles covers the widest range of buyer intent without requiring large per-SKU volume.

No. Streetwise Security Products has no minimum order quantity on knives or any product in our catalog. You can order a single unit to test a new SKU or place a large bulk reorder — there is no threshold to meet. Orders under $50 include a $2.50 handling fee. The low per-unit cost on disguised carry and entry-level designs means dealers can test multiple knife styles with minimal upfront investment before scaling the SKUs that perform best in their market.

Yes. Streetwise offers blind dropshipping on knives and most products across our catalog. We ship directly to your customer with no Streetwise branding on the package. A full CSV product feed — including SKUs, descriptions, pricing, images, and dimensions — is available from your dealer dashboard. One important note: because knife laws vary by jurisdiction, it is your responsibility as the dealer to ensure that any knife you list for dropship sale is legal in the states and localities where your customers are located. We do not ship to prohibited locations.

OTF stands for Out-the-Front — a mechanism where the blade deploys straight forward through an opening in the handle with a single button press or switch, rather than folding out from the side. OTF knives are popular with tactical buyers, EDC (everyday carry) enthusiasts, and collectors because of their fast deployment, compact form factor, and distinctive look. For dealers, OTF automatic knives are a reliable premium SKU — they carry higher retail price points than standard folders, attract repeat buyers, and have strong search demand online. Streetwise carries OTF designs from Armed Force Tactical and ElitEdge ranging from full-size models with belt clips to mini keyring versions, wholesale priced from $7.00 to $16.10. Note that automatic knives including OTF designs are regulated or prohibited in some states — review applicable restrictions before stocking.

A butterfly knife (also called a balisong) is a folding knife with two handles that counter-rotate around the blade's tang, allowing the blade to be opened with one hand using various flipping techniques. Butterfly knives are popular with collectors, martial arts practitioners, and enthusiasts of manual dexterity skills. A butterfly trainer knife uses the same handle mechanism and weight distribution but has a blunted, non-sharpened blade — making it legal in many jurisdictions where live butterfly knives are restricted, and safe for practice and skill-building without the risk of injury. For dealers, stocking both versions serves two distinct buyer types: the collector or experienced carrier who wants a functional blade, and the beginner or hobbyist who wants to learn flipping technique. Streetwise carries both the 9-inch Butterfly Knife and the 8.75-inch Butterfly Trainer at competitive wholesale price points.
