Tops cqt-303

[JD Mandrell]

This one's been on my "look for" list awhile, but wanted to see one in person before buying. Finally found one in a store last week, and ended up bringing it home.



Perfect fit and finish, both angles of the tanto blade are shaving sharp, and the serrated part is well done also. Was a little stiff on opening until I got it home and put a small drop of oil in the pivot and after a little more "flicking" it now opens very smooth, and there is zero blade play in any direction.

The only negative I have, is when I reversed the pocket clip for a southpaw, one of the 3 screws, the metal was VERY soft and the torx driver stripped the inside of the screw head on the first turn. The other 2 screws were just fine and had no problems, so I'm assuming that screw was just a bad one. 2 screws seem to hold the clip just as well as 3, so I'm not to worked up about it. I may contact TOPS to see if they will send me a replacement.

Other than that, totally happy with this folder, great knife!
