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.

Pros: Pocket Clip, Blade Material, Ease of Opening, Blade Sharpness, Weight, Overall Quality
Cons: None

I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for solid, compact knife for a great price.

I decided to get this knife because I lose my knives all the time and didn't want to spend a whole lot of money on one. With that being said, I was not expecting too much given the $15.95 price tag. Just got it about a week ago and have used it regularly since and pleasantly surprised with the overall quality of this knife. It's fairly small so I use it as my everyday carry to do many tasks throughout the day. The frame lock mechanism ensures that it locks the blade securely in place. The only "con" I can say about it is I wish it was a reversible pocket clip but it's a very minor issue. Other then that, I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for solid, compact knife for a great price.

Nice little knife

Bought it for a female college student who took my knife class. Small, compact but with a unique look to it. Lock was very stiff at first and had to open/close a lot to loosen enough before I could give it to her.

Decent little knife

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

A good little knife

This is a good little knife. It feels quite sturdy, and is nice and slim. The only issue I have with it is I sometimes have a hard time opening it one handed, but I have big hands, it might be fine for you.

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.
