Makes for a good legal carry
I only didn't give it a five because I haven't used this knife in the field and don't know how well this would perform under heavy use. Bought this as a gift for a friend who had never owned a knife, and in Michigan 3" is the legal carrying length for most knives, so I wanted to get him something that fit the bill, yet still looked good doing it and I'll be damned if this isn't the best little assisted folder I've ever seen at such a low price. Now, it didn't open the best when it first arrived, took a little lubricant to get it to open properly, and I know it says China in big bold letters down the side of the blade which is a little disappointing but after honing the edge on a strop it took on a reaaaaally sharp edge and my buddy is super excited about his new knife. An all around win for 32$! Only thing I can see being improved is the size of the divot for the locking mechanism needs to be made deeper and larger so larger hands can get in and manipulate the lock, but other than that a super solid purchase.
