Pros: Weight, Ease of Opening, Blade Material, Blade Sharpness
Cons: Handle Material, Pocket Clip
Get what you pay for? Probably much less than that.
I should preface this review by admitting that the first M20 I purchased lasted for about 9 months, until I lost it. At that point, the knife held up wonderfully with the exception of some play becoming evident in the screws that hold the clip to the handle. I had tightened the clip down a few times and didn't stop to ponder why this was the case - after all, it's a cheap knife. This fact was exacerbated significantly when I caved and purchased the same exact knife from a local store, and within hours later that day, the clip screw had come out completely. I figured, "oh well, must be a dud." I returned the knife to the store in exchange for another one. It worked great for a few days, until yet again I noticed the knife swimming in my pocket, only to discover the clip screw had failed AGAIN. Guess that's what you get with a cheap nylon body, but even then this kind of shoddy craftsmanship is completely inexcusable. What a disappointment... guess I'm ready to go blow $200 on a Benchmade or whatever, hopefully it'll last a little longer.
