Great blade design. Although sharp from the factory, the blade could use some honing to get a more satisfactory edge. The seat belt cutter and window break features are a plus. The window break feature could also be used for striking and/or pain control and compliance. Easy to bring the blade into play and the scales provide a firm grip in the hand. Good liner-lock. Strong belt clip. I am going to purchase a second one for the wife to keep in her vehicle.

It would be tough to state a definitive flaw regarding this item. As with everything made however something must be imperfect. What that is on this knife this author does not know. Extremely sharpened from the factory, I have large hands and like the weight of the knife as well. In the arena of overall aesthetics this knife definitely wins the pageant.

I had recently purchased this knife for myself but, after handling it, decided a second one would be a good choice for the wife to keep in her vehicle. The seat belt cutter and glass breaker is a plus. Solid liner-lock. Tanto-style blade is sharp from the factory (although I like to hone new blades a little better than factory). Rubberized handle provides a firm handhold. Strong clip for belt or sliding over the top of your trousers for IWB carry. Blade is smooth and easy to deploy, thanks to fiber washers.

I was impressed by my first one that I decided to buy a second to keep in the wife's vehicle. Sharp from the factory (although I hone the blade a little further for my taste) easy to deploy, the seat belt cutter is a plus as is the window breaker. I clip mine OWB although the clip is good for belt carry. Great knife for the price.

For the price it is a very good safety knife. It is a solid knife with the key features I wanted. I was worried that smith and wesson didn't care about the quality of their knives and that they were just out to make a buck, but I am pleasantly surprised. It is sturdy and has some weight, and of course the safety features I was looking for. I keep one in each car, and carry a third.

I am a first responder for the County of Fairfax. This knife is a handy tool to use in my work. Small enough to carry in your pocket, it does the job.

Great knife to carry as a "tool". The blade seems durable but the sharpness is questionable. The seatbelt cutter and glass break seem to be built like a tank. The handle feels really good in your hands. Overall, for the price, it can't be beat.

I'm on the street. Rollin Patrol AKA The Meat of the Dept. I usually have great knives that I carry on duty, but that's proven stupid because I am in and out of houses/cars etc all night. Foot chases....all types of scenarios to lose that $100 $200 knife AND I have....on top of using to cut a chunk of nasty crack/coke/heroin to scrape into a test kit on the hood of my patrol car. I needed a knife that was cheap and also a great tool, that didn't make you cringe when it got beat up....This is it, for under $30 bucks its the most functional knife Ive ever owned....I just do not like the locking mechanism, it could have better physical positive feedback, BUT for the $28 bucks I paid for it? ITS GOLDEN. It rolls the block with me now......haven't tested the glass breaker or seat belt cutter yet though-
