Uzi Defender Tac 1?

[kindred_spirits]

Any opinions on this one? I believe these are made by United Cutlery, but they say they are made in the USA. 154CM blade, linerlock, G-10 scales. Anybody have one of these? Its this one:

Anybody? For the price, this knife seems unbeatable. SMKW has it for $50.

I do not own one but fyi and IIRC United Cutlery (or the owner) use to have a mfc plant located in the USA called Arrowhead. A number of brands and models were made there. This Uzi is one of them.

Yep they are are high quality knives. I paid less than that for the one I owned but didn't keep it. Simple reason is that the liner lock started to wander. Sometimes it would hit to the left of center, sometimes to the right of center and sometimes dead center. It never failed the spine whack test though and the blade although sharp when I recieved took a hellacious edge. Enede up giving it to my brother in law for Xmas and he loves it. TOPS CQT folder is identical save for the handle cut outs so it just goes to show the mark up on these knives. keepem sharp

PS I didn't like the flipper as it didn't work as a flipper and I didin't care for the tip down carry

Thanks for the replies.

Tip down only though? Damn.

I saw this one in the SMKW catalog too. The United Cutlery brand scared me off but now I'm starting to give it a second look. Decisions, decisions...

The only thing that bothers me is the liner lock. I wonder if those who have one can chime in on it.
