Mine isn't so good. It's a linerlock with cast metal handles. The liner lock piece is held in the handle with a single screw. The liner does not share the pivot screw. The stop pin wiggles in the handle. It is in the right place when open, and the lock is solid, but when you close it the stop pine pushes away enough to let the blade crash into one of the spacer pins. I have only had the knife for 30 minutes and there is a dent in the blade. If the stop pin did not move from the position it takes when the blade is open, it looks like the blade tip would be just outside the handle.
The knife does not indicate the country of origin, so I assume it is US made by Colonial but it would be nice for it to say so because otherwise it looks like a cheap piece of junk from China. Not the sort of decent stuff we have seen recently, but a cheap Chinese knife from 1999.
The box is amazingly nice, fitting the description of the Colonial box someone received their handcrafted (?) lockback in. I was kind of excited when I saw the box, because DANG that is a nice little box for a cardboard box that isn't going to be used later.
I was hoping it would be a small promo knife of at least moderate quality.
