Well worth the price

I got this knife just for general purposes. I use it to cut tape and open packages. It's really inexpensive but, it's a great size and it's very sharp. There are some cons like, it's not very smooth on opening, especially at first. It doesn't have bearings. The edges of the spine weren't smoothed out and, they fell like they could cut you with enough pressure. There are pros too. The action loosens over time. I can almost open it with no wrist action, using just the flipper. The edge is very sharp and, maintenance is easy. The handle feels good. The pocket clip is deep carry and sturdy. The blade length and cutting edge shape are well designed. So, in my opinion, this knife is well worth the less than $20 it cost by a long shot, even with the cheap Chinese steel.

Didn’t like it at first; think I’ve changed my mind.

The gfn feels cheap even for a sub $20 knife. It deploys slow and the blade weight compared to the flyweight body makes it feel top heavy for such a small knife. The liner lock protrudes beyond the scales and feels like it would turn into a hot spot. HOWEVER, the 440 stainless blade with it’s hollow grind has FANTASTIC geometry and is a cutting champ! I’ve taken to carrying it to see how long the edge lasts with daily use, and to see if I can get that edge back; I’m no professional. As underwhelming in materials as this knife is it has some serious slicing prowess; makes me wonder if the similar Chunk might be it’s slightly nicer upgrade.
