Can anyone tell about this knife ?
Is it a good folder ?
Good steel?
Any info would be nice !:confused:
 
I got to play with one that a friend of mine has (fellow member Uncle Ace) and I was very impressed with it for the price. It locks up very solid, no noticeable blade play, and feels good in the hand. The steel is 420HC which is OK, not great but OK, and the only thing I didn't like about it was the handles flexed quite a bit when you gripped the knife tightly, and I don't like that feeling much. If I found one on sale, I would buy one, just to keep in the truck... :thumbup:
 
locomike said it best, really. I can tell you I've carried mine mostly on weekends and it's done everything I needed it to (chop veggies in the kitchen, open boxes, slice bread & pizza, etc.) If it came with a liner inside the handle to lessen the flex, I'd feel more confident about using it for heavy-duty, but for 30 bucks at Wally World, it's a great buy.
 
someone just posted in general knife discussion but they weren't happy with the one they ended up with...maybe a lemon? might be worth following that thread too to see if you get any good info...i think the subject was "this buck was crap" or something like that.
 
fyi, that other thread was moved the the buck forums by the moderators. good luck.

I think the OP to that thread got a lemon. I have the Omni folder and it's been a great knife, especially for the price. I think that was the general opinion of most of the other replies too.
