This knife is larger in person than it looks in the pictures, I think mainly because of the handle design. It is lightweight though thanks to the titanium handle, so it isn’t that noticeable and I think it’s a nicely proportioned knife that looks good. It’s put together well, although not on the same level as Civivi or Kizer, there isn’t anything glaringly wrong and the overall level of fit and finish is good. The action works well, with the rear flipper easily able to open the blade, which solidly locks into place. The button lock is slightly on the gritty side but works well enough and I’m sure it will break in with more use. Blade centering is similarly good, and the clip works well and isn’t overly stiff. Budget knives have really gotten very good over the last 10 years and while this doesn’t do much to stand out from competitors, it’s a solid knife that’s built well and I don’t see any reasons not to recommend it if you like the aesthetic.
On this knife, the release button is positioned for a right hander's thumb or a left hander's pointer finger. As a lefty, I've found it's not always easy to depress a release button on a pocket knife with the pointer finger. With this knife, I can press and whip the blade out easily. The holes along the handle aide with grip. The blade is good and sharp, and I'm real happy with it.
For a great price, I get a fantastic tool that feels expensive and well-made. Love it!
Awesome material and design! The titanium handle fits my fingers perfectly and feels so secure in hand. Not cheap at all!
I like this knife. D2+Titanium is my favorite low budget combo. This knife is solid, the action works great, and it does pass the spine whack test. It is light and after you sharpen it, it is razor sharp! The swell in the handle fits well into the hand. For the price it is a great knife, for just a few dollars more there are much better knives. Blade has no wiggle in any direction. Pocket clip works well but it is a little tight. The only and biggest complaint I have is no sharpening choil, you will get the infamous smile the first time you sharpen this knife. There is also lots of button stick.
UPDATE AFTER CARRYING THE KNIFE AT WORK FOR A WEEK :Now . . . I'm not complaining . . .The pocket clip screws loosened some and it would have been a good idea if they had made them a bit longer because there is some threaded handle thickness there that they are not taking advantage of . Just saying if you carry this knife a lot you may want to put some purple loctite on the screw threads . Purple is enough for tiny screws .Also the edge is now pretty dull . I used the heck out of it but no abuse . I will reprofile the edge geometry to a less obtuse angle , as I do with nearly every knife I buy , and that will extend the edge life some .I'm still happy with the location and action of the button lock release ; it's just fine.I still LOVE THIS KNIFE !GREAT STUFF !ORIGINAL REVIEW :Seriously .I'm speechless .Well . . . almost .I have been looking for this knife (design, shape, size, sculpted Titanium handle) that I have had in my imagination for about ten years and more.Finally someone produced it ! ! !At this price it was too good to be true but I ordered it anyway .It is completely legit as the "youngins " say . (collecting and using knives is a major interest / hobby of mine ).There is just nothing I could find to gripe about and I am super picky .PS : edge nicely ground and sharp all along the edge and the point. No rolls or dings . Arm hair shaving sharp . No play in pivot . Drop shut action . No lock stick . Pocket clip good from factory ; not too tight ; good and stout clip thickness (not weak) ; clip is steel (magnet sticks to it). Pivot on bearings and not adjusted too tight / is adjusted correctly.No unfinished areas on handle ; everything is very nicely chamfered and finished . Same with the blade .Update ; I found that the edges of the big "speed holes" in the handle have a raised edge that could have been debured but they are not sharp in the least ; there is ALMOST nothing there ; if anything they add a bit of traction when gripping the knife (just wanted to warn the super picky people like my self) .The dip in the spine of the blade near the pivot is a great place to put one's thumb for that type of cut . That swoop isn't just for looks .Flipper action is great.and no the button lock will not be accidentally pressed in various hand positions while using the knife . The button is low (not too low) and takes a very intentional press to unlock the blade .
Not practical for use in any way
Great little knife at an amazing price. The D2 steel blade cuts through any obstacle like well, a hot knife through butter ! With the super smooth flipper action it allows you hours of fidget time for those like me with a little of the a.d.d . Overall I highly recommend this knife whether using it in the kitchen, your latest backpacking excursion or for an edc tool. It’s definitely up to the task and meet your needs day in and day out.

For easy work it's o.k. not perfect condition ( the scales not even, a dent in the middle of the edge, the backspring not even with the scales, the point the backspring forms the 'hammer' is 0.15 mm .....and other little things) but overall for small jobs on work o.k. above all for this price.
Our family enjoys camping and fishing. This was nice with the case it came in. The case was a nice surprise. I can actually store 2 knives in it.
The knife is easy to open and shut. Fits nicely in my hands, which I say are on the smaller size. The blade was nice and sharp to start off.
So far mainly used to cut the worms up into smaller pieces and went thru the suckers like a hot knife cutting butter.
I really like how durable and well built the knife is but opening it is a bit difficult and closing it is even more difficult. There's really no safety devices on this. This might be a good toolbox knife. I'm not sure I would recommend these for kids. Be careful if you're out in the wilderness with this knife.
When you open this blade, it cams past a hump in the blade that holds it open, but it's not locked. That means if you press or pry wrong, you'll close the blade. If your fingers are holding the handle, you may cut yourself. Potentially badly. So this isn't a knife for a younger or klutzier user.
It arrived sharp, feels good and has a good shape to it. The plastic case is a nice touch, although ultimately just another piece of plastic waste.
This knife is very sharp and can even cut paper that you are holding in your hand. It didn't get five stars only because it sticks a bit when you open and close it and there is no button like on most knives.
This is a very light knife. Easily kept in your pocket and won't be noticed.
There's a belt clip that does ok holding if you wear a belt. The knife itself is sharp and cuts well.
Opening it you pull on the blade the go past the first stop at half until it's fully open. There's no lock on it but it's pretty stable.
It's a little too light to feel comfortable using for a while. The handle kind of is rough on the hands.
This knife is well made and sturdy. The blade seems plenty sharp and seems to be made of good grade of steel. There is a plastic case included and I think this would make a good gift, but for men only. It includes a saying that "Every Man Deserves an Exceptional Knife". The blade snaps open or closed but does not have a safety lock.
The ONLY knock I have on this is that the blade doesn't lock open. It holds open exceptionally well, which is why I thought it locked open. I was looking everywhere for the locking mechanism only to find I had to push it harder to close it. It is a nice knife and will be on my side this hunting season.
