Mini tsek

[trimcut123]

I have owned a mini tsek for about a year now. It has the satin finish and plain edge in Gin-1. I picked it up for about 70$. At first i loved it. It was my edc for almost a year. This knife is worth the money. But i have come to find out, it is definatly a medium use knife. Under hard cutting pressure from the left side( although im right handed) i noticed the liner lock popping torward the handle. However it did not disenguage. It still has no blade play in any direction after a year. The handle is also the perfect size to fit into small places.(engine/car work) CONS Blade chipped easily in afew spots near the tip trying to remove a staple from cardboard. It is just to thin for heavy duty work. Also it is too light and small to do a good job at chopping or cutting wood over 1/2 inch thick. I had two other knifes both were mini afck with liner locks. M2 steel and 154cm. Both locks failed after a few weeks. One just from dropping the knife and the other from daily use. They will lock up, butg there is vertical balde play. Very noticable. If you grab the handle and shake it back and forth you can hear the blade bouncing from back stop to the liner. All in all the tsek is the best buy and is still as flawless as the day i purchased it.
