I have had this knife for nearly 2 years now, and it has remained a reliable every day carry.

It is light and easy to carry. The pocket clip makes it very quick to open and keeps it out of the way.

The blade keeps a good edge if sharpened every couple of months.

After my house burned, I went inside to retrieve some items and found this knife sitting on my desk. It was one of the only knives I grabbed and hasn't failed me yet.

Recently bought this knife and it came sharp as a razor out of the box...been using it for around 2 months now and its still pretty sharp even though i didn't sharpen it (normal cutting of rope for camping and sharpening sticks for pegs)..it comes with an amazing grip that has never been slippery to me, a utility arch and a belt clip...unfortunately the clip cant be taken out (i don't like them)but it doesn't feel uncomfortable anyway. The lock mechanism is great and allows you to open and shut the blade with just one hand. Really recommend this knife especially if you find one for cheaper.

Bought this used (but it has never been carried or used to cut anything) for 90. The knife is fantastic, could have been sharper out of box and the sheath was not great either, but it feels great in the hand and is excellent as a last ditch boot knife.

Great knife. My friend liked it so much he bought one. I prefer the plain blade to the serrated.I also like the double locking device. I take it hiking along with my Bucklite Large fixblade.Good price even here in South Africa.

A knife that doesn't rust - had to have one.
As I carry a knife everywhere, I needed something that I could swim with. After 2 years in the water, not a speck of rust is to be found. Amazing.

I picked this knife up used at a great price and didn't expect much. It is light, slim, and fits my hand nicely.
The blade shape gives a lot of useful cutting edge and the handle feels really nice when using it for all tasks, large and small.
I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get a good edge on it.
A few minutes on the stones gave me a razor.
I was worried that it wouldn't hold the edge. It holds pretty well, about like a well heat treated 440C.

The only thing I don't like about this knife is that the pool water has left a white deposit in the recesses of the handle that I can't get out and I can't take it apart because it is riveted together.

I had to wait a few months for this kinfe, but it was worth the wait.

Specs say that it is a 3 1/8" blade. It looks much longer than that, but measures pretty close to that number. The blade is thick, but with a deep hollow grind, it isn't all that heavy. I do have worries about the durability of the tip, but this was not designed as a utility blade, you shouldn't use it as one. The shape makes it very easy to make precision cuts and I have no doubt that it would be very bad for an attacker.

The handle is a little on the small side for my large hands, but feels very secure. The bottom front of the handle will stop any possibility of your hand from sliding forward during a hard thrust. The top lock takes some getting used to, but has its advantages over a liner lock. The G10 is very grippy. No chance of this thing slipping out of your hand when covered with fluids .

I can't say anything bad about this knife other than I personally would have liked it to be a bit bigger and I am worried about the blade tip breaking off. I would recommend it to anyone that is willing to carry it as a defense knife only.

For the money, there's not much that can compare for this much bang for your buck. The only issue I had was the thumb-studes coming loose a few times, but nothing a little loc-tite couldn't fix. the blade opens very quickly, and it's just large enough to handle most every day tasks. It's fairly light too, and offers a very ergonomic feel for medium sized hands. I've had this little knife for a few years now and it hasn't let me down. I have to sharpen it every few weeks, but it holds an edge fairly well. I also love the bead blasted finish on the blade. Solid 9/10 overall I've had few blades exceed my expectations in this price range!!

Great knife, tough as nails. 1095 is an excellent steel that can really stand up to hard use and keep an edge. I like the handle and the sheath also. It's a better knife than some costing two or three times as much.

What a neat little knife! Cheap, but cuts pretty well. Not much good for big tasks, but for general light utility tasks, it is not too bad. I have a few here and there to open a box, scrape off tape, cut a string, that sort of thing. Stays closed until you need it and is light enough to forget you have it on you. Not a bad little knife.
