Thinking about buying one of these. Seems really cheap, only problem I could think of with it is a bad liner lock. I've never heard anything about browning knives. Anyone have experience with them?

I bought a cheap presentation knife from Browning, the cocobolo model. http://www.browning.com/products/catalog/knives/detail.asp?value=008G&cat_id=322&type_id=305

I've used it as a gentlemans folder, and for light work, it does a pretty good job. I wish the blade wasn't so slender. I don't particularly care for the majority of their designs, but the model I bought works for me.

I have several Browning lockbacks. They are well made in Japan. The AUS-8 blades get very sharp. I like Browning. They generally make practical rather than tactical designs. They particularly cater to hunters.

I sold this one recently, very high quality.
Browning never puts their name on junk which is more than I can say about Winchester or Colt.

The price is so low because it is a closeout of a discontinued model. The Barracudas sold for about twice that when it was current. High quality Japanese manufacturer. It's an excellent deal. I'd recommend it.

That is a beautiful knife. And I normally dont like multi blades at all. Yeah, I couldnt find barracudas on the browning website. Wonder why they were discontinued? Ordered the knife last night. Look forward to testing out a new brand name.

I don't know about any of their folders, but I've owned a few of their fixed blades and the quality's quite good. IIRC Browning doesn't actually make any of their knives, but they do seem to get good companies to make them for them. I know TOPS is making some of their fixed blade designs for them now.
For the money I'd say go for it.
