Picked this one up at Wally World last Sunday, wanted to give it some carry/use before reviewing.
It's a little thing, as you can see in picture 2, it is dwarfed by a ZT0561.
The liner lock is solid, no play in any direction in the blade. The small size and the curve of the handle, do not make it the easiest knife to "flick" open, but it's not really a tactical knife IMO anyway, so normal one hand opening is fine.
Textured handle is cool, no slip for sure, and the choil is a nice idea on one this small, makes for a great precision utility cutter.
Blade was SHARP out of the box, razor sharp in fact.
Bottle opener is a nice feature, not sure I will use it a great deal, since I don't drink beer, but I bought some Club Soda to test it.
Lanyard hole is also a flathead screwdriver, didn't have anything around here with that size flathead on it, but see no reason why it wouldn't work just fine.
Great little EDC knife, I'm a southpaw, and while it has a reversible clip, there isn't as much relief for the thumb of a lefty to get to the stud (common on a lot of liner locks), but it's usable for a southpaw.
Plan to reverse the pocket clip, but I have to get the right tool. I thought it was a T6, but all my T6's are to small, and it almost looks like a small hex bit instead???
Anyway, I like it, $14.95, and pretty solid, and could probably handle most day to day cutting tasks, but still small enough to get by in places where a larger knife would draw negative attention.
