How could it not be? It's endorsed by MCPoeticTendency!

[aceofblades]

Yes, it is a bad knife. It has bad steel and materials and will not keep an edge. Might I recommend a kershaw leek? They are a screaming deal at a GREAT price, and can be had at walmart for a wonderful price.

[Gollnick]

Is it a good knife? I doubt it.

Is the design a ripoff? Yes.

Should you buy one? No.

The website in question also fails just about every test of legitimacy: no actual person's name, no explaination of ownership, no real e-mail address, no street address, no phone number. The domain name was registered less than two weeks ago... and is probably just the latest in a long series of throw-away names used by the owner; register a name, use it for a few months until the name gets a bad rep, then throw it away and pick out a new one. The domain registration gives a yahoo e-mail address, probably another throw-away. The domain registration gives a phone number that's listed to True Mt Zion Holiness Church in Houston, TX. And get this: The registrant's postal address is a vacant, for-sale house in North haven, CT, your's for $334,900... move-in ready; you can take a video tour of assistedknife.com via the links below.

The website itself is hosted on a discount web-shopping ISP.

So it wouldn't be a good idea to buy anything from the site?

Like it would rip me off or something??

[Dragon_Man]

With so many honest dealers on the web why take the risk? Try 1sks, New Graham, Knifecenter, Knifeworks, etc.

you will probably get what you order,

but you will get what you order. if you catch my drift....


i would count on that particular knife to have significant blade play, poor lock up, and a marginal action. autos have little parts in them and are under spring tension (usually), and if proper care is not taken in design and assembly you are gonna have problems.

After reading Gollnick's excellent analysis, you still need to ask this?

[aceofblades]

Just trust us on this pal, do NOT buy from there, do not get that knife.

[Jos]

It's a nice knife. You can stick it in a rock, and He Who Pulls It Out will be KING!

In response to Gollnick's informative analysis of a now obvious fly-by-night website:

At this point, I can only figure that you are either messing with us all, or you are the densest person I can recently recall interacting with.

Perhaps you shouldn't be purchasing sharp objects at all.

You won't find the XCALIBER at those sites.

[mblackfu]

if the shipping cost more than the knife , it most likely isn't a good knife. Is it worth the money may be a better question .

[0billie0joe0]

I think i'm going to go for a Benchmade Griptilian 551 now.

I'll see if anyone in Canada is ever going to sell one lol. Whats the chance of it getting across the border??
