Decent little knife
Decent little knife for the money. Has a nice feel to it but a little too stiff for fidgety action.

Description
CR6480: 6480 Pazoda, Plain Edge
CRKT
A collection of high-quality affordable little knives that seem to shout: "Engrave your name or put your company logo right here!"
What makes a good logo knife? It should be affordable, and it should have some large flat areas on the blade or frame suitable for logo imprinting. So we are very happy to present the Drifter series. They're high-quality knives that are priced low enough to purchase in quantity, and all have flat areas that are perfect for “Company Billboard” imprinting by laser or silk screen.
The Pazoda™ is a stylish frame-lock folder with a 2.625” premium 8Cr14MoV blade, gray titanium nitride coated. The stainless steel frames are also given a gray titanium nitride coating, and then a brushed finish on the outer surface only, leaving an ample bright area for imprinting. The oval blade hole allows fast either-hand opening. A stainless steel clip is included. The Pazoda is available in both Razor-Sharp or Combined Razor-Sharp and Triple-Point™ Serrated edges.

Pros: Ease of Opening
Cons: Weight, Lock Ease of Use
Decent knife, too heavy, lock problematic
Decently sharp out of the box, not too tough to improve on with a simple oilstone. Has kept an edge through minimal daily activity. Easy to open; I find myself absentmindedly playing with it often. When lock engages there is no blade play.The framelock failed to engage without forcing it over for the first week or so. A little file work on the butt of the blade could have sped up the process, but I didn't want to risk blade play. Still sometimes won't engage when the knife is cold, or I open with non-dominant hand.For its size, the knife is quite heavy, due to the all-stainless linerless construction. The clip is nice, because it would be too heavy to carry loose in a front pocket.

Pros: Weight, Ease of Opening
Cons: Lock Type
Its fairly okay
Surprised by this, I didn't expect much by the cost of this, but it is actually quite nice. Its just the size to carry in your pocket, its sharp enough (could have been sharper) and its black. I keep it in my car at all time, always at hand. The blade was a little slow in the beginning, but I guess that's from it not being used. Only problem I have is that it wont lock-up like it should at all times, but I dont find that to be a problem.
