Can anybody please give me any ideas about this knife I saw one review by (Cutlerylover) and he made it like it was totally worth it. I was Just wondering if anyone else had any other ideas. Thank you in advance.
 
I have one of those? what exactly do you want to know?

I haven't used it yet, so I can't say much about it. the thumbstud is very hard to open the knife with, but the flipper is good. it can be closed with one hand without much trouble.

Mine was almost impossible to open with the thumb-stud initially. Just kept working it and it finally got a bit easier. Never did adjust the pivot.
Not a big deal, since the flipper is really the better way to open it.

Not a bad little knife. Has a good solid "feel" to it. Quite thin, so it rides in the pocket easily.
I'd consider it a light duty EDC, or maybe a "gentleman's folder".

Decent for the sub $60 price.

Thanks that what I really look for in a folder a nice fixed feel.Heavy feel but not over weighted unnecessarily. How does it feel when you open it does it pull the knife.

Not really. The spring is sufficient to get the blade out, but not overly strong. Combined with the flipper, it gets the job done, but gently.

I received 2 of these knives. It is a very cool knife but I will be letting both of them go. The reasons are that it's just too heavy for me, it's difficult to close with one hand and while the spring is sufficient to open the blade, it is quite weak. I just don't think I would choose to carry this knife and I do use my knives so it just doesn't make sense for me to keep them. A positive note I would add is that due to the weakness of the spring, it is relatively quiet to open which in many cases is preferable.
 
hey man thanks but I was just wondering would you be willing to sell it. If so post some pics I might be intrested. Thanks
 
if you use your thumb on the lock and your pointer/index finger on the flipper to start closing it you can do it with one hand.

I don't understand how it can be too heavy, but I like heavy knives. I wish it had been thicker and bigger.

Considering the dimensions of the knife, it is quite heavy. But some folks like that.

Not implying schoolbus's intent was to advertise (I didn't take it that way), but with his comment and eespro98's reply, you're dangerously close to getting a warning from a mod.

I think its a good light duty edc. yes the spring is a little weak but you can take it apart and stretch the spring and it will give a lil more kick. as far as one hand closing i use my leg to close it w one hand. so if your looking for an easy one handed closer id go with a framelock design but if it doesnt bother you its great other wise . also the double lock is great for the extra safety. the jipping is good very grippy. maybe a lil much for some people.
 
Yeah thread is a little old but would like to chime in. I have had one of these for years, must admit its one of the rare instances that I bought a knife cause I saw it in a movie. Just looked badass in "Shooter" when Wahlberg was palming it. Got it and love it, it is a little harder to close one handed then others but with just a little practice it becomes pretty easy. One of my favorite assisted openers, and I personally love the weight to it but that is just me.
 
The knife is good, but its got some design flaws. Its that thumbstud, poorest positioning choice ever. It too close to the handle to get a decent amount of purchase for a good push. It just eats into the thumb. Its all flipper for me. I cant not edc this knife.
