Good, Solid Knife
By Alex from Boston, MA on 3/4/2009
Pros:
Comfortable Grip, Durable, Sharp Blade, Smooth Locking Mechanism
Best Uses:
Camping, Combat, Home, Hunting, Survival
Describe Yourself:
Outdoor Professional
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

All around good solid knife. The serrated edge is especially useful as well as the body shape of the knife. The one thing you may want to do if you are wearing this knife on the belt clip often is put some locktight tape in the screws.

Nice knife, fits comfortably in my hand. Love the locking mechanism that keeps the blade fixed in the open position, it will not close accidently. Wish it came with a pouch.

Phenomenal knife for the price. Opens extremely quickly without having to rely on springs or torsion bars. Very useful size. Blade is sharp, but needs to be touched up with a sharpening stone slightly more often than other knives. Great knife overall.

One of the best knives I've had
By Max from Philadelphia, PA on 2/19/2007
Pros:
Comfortable Grip, Sharp Blade
Cons:
Rusts easily
Best Uses:
Backcountry Camping, Campgrounds, Day Trips, Survival
Describe Yourself:
Casual/ Recreational
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This is a very high quality product, one of my favorites. Unfortunately I lost mine a while back, but I'm definetly considering purchasing this same one again. I've used many knives before and none of them have worked as well, looked as good, or felt better in the palm of my hand. The ONLY problem I ever encountered with it was minor rusting of the blade's face and loosening of the clip. Regardless, this is truly a great knife, and worth ever penny.
