 Worth Every Penny |
| Review Date: March 8, 2007 |
| Reviewer: Chris Turco, Scottsdale, AZ |
| I use utility knives on a daily basis. This means I rely on my knife to help me get my work done and this knife exeeds every expectation I could ever want. Fast opening and opens in any position without hassel and wont open in your pocket by mistake. If its choosing between this knife and another choose this one even if its twice as much money..... its worth every penny!!!! |
Good for the money

| This knife is great because it opens quick with one hand. Oil the joint every few months to keep the action quick. My only complaint is the edge holding. It's made of 440HC which is easy to touch up with any sharpening tool and will give you a very nice edge. I usually have to sharpen mine every month with low to moderate use. I carry mine on my belt every day for 3 years now and I love it though. |

A bit pricey compared to other knives in its size/genre but its quality justifies the extra cost in my opinion.
Pros:
- All-metal construction.
- Simple locking and safety mechanisms -- should wear well.
- Blade is solid. Absolutely no play side-to-side or up and down in the pivot.
- Lifetime warranty.
Cons:
- On the expensive side.
- No sheath (figured I should throw another con in).
Other notes:
The first time I used the knife the blade did not fully open and lock. I was thinking "uh oh", but the knife just needed the oil distributed a bit better in the pivot. From the second attempt on it has been perfect every time.
I saw someone in another thread complaining about knives with the open handle backs (no back spacer). Meaning when the blade is extended you can look all the way through in between the handle plates (scales). They said when carried in their pocket, coins and such would get stuck in the back of the knife. This knife also has an open back. Not a problem for me, but it may be for someone else.
The belt clip can be removed. It is held on by 3 tiny allen screws. |
