A Good knife for the price
This knife will be kept in the car for emergencies. The price was right and` I anticipate it being helpful. With free shipping it arrived timely. A bit bulky for carry in pocket but otherwise good.

Assisted flipper with automobile rescue features
I like the feel & the weight of the knife in my hand. I love the assisted flipper feature. Opens much faster than all my other "unassisted" flippers, although it closer with more resistance also. I keep it in my car's console for emergencies. Instructed my wife in it's presence and how to use, heaven forbid she needs to use it.
