Pros: Blade Material, Blade Sharpness, Ease of Opening, Lock Type
Cons: Overall Quality
Disappointing
This thing has been a nightmare. Bought one from Amazon and the little pin in the blade that catches it when it closes was loose. Returned it because Amazon stinks, bought one from Knife Center. Same problem, you can literally pull the little pin out of the knife if you wanted. All the reviews for this thing are high and I've only seen one other mention of this pin problem on the entire internet, but now I've had two in a row. Sent it to Cold Steel, which recently sold to another company, and now their customer service STINKS. 3 weeks after I sent my knife to them, they sent the exact same knife back. Mind you I spent $18 to mail it to them in the first place. Well, now I'm patiently waiting for what will be my 3rd AD-15, and my hopes aren't high. I really wanted to love the knife and now it's looking like I'll probably just have to get Cold Steel to refund me, some how. Just wanted to leave a review to warn anyone eyeing this knife. Seems super tough out of the box, but that pin is looking like a big design flaw to me.
