Great for the money

I'm leery of knives this cheap not named Opinel, and knives with gun branding, and knives made with 7Cr, but sometimes buy them for sharpening practice. This little guy, though, deserves a positive review. In all of the ways that matter it's well made and functions fine. It will sharpen up to a nice edge, which I suppose is either the heat treat, the hollow grind, or both. I would absolutely keep this in an office desk, workshop, basement, barn, tackle box, or vehicle and be confident it would do any manner of EDC job. If you want something for light use that's very inexpensive, don't be leery of this one.

Smith and wesson did a good job!

This is a great beginners knife. It is pleasantly weighted and opens smoothly. The handle is thin enough, even with the rubber coating, which is very comfortable. It keeps a sharp edge and has no blade play what-so-ever. The only draw back that I see is when you first get it, the liner lock may be a little rough a first, but after a couple of days, it will smooth out. I also found the pocket clip a little tight for easy lifting out of my pocket, but I just played with it until it got to the tension that I liked it. Overall, a great beginners knife into the world to tactical knives, and at an affordable price to test out if you are really into these type of knives.

Basic but dependable

At the price you get what you pay for. It's almost bigger than the moderate size I like to pocket carry but it does the job. It wasn't nearly as sharp out of the box as I usually experience with new knives, but it took an edge quickly. We'll see how long it holds. My only real con with it is that the rough edge of the handle under the end/edge of the clip noticeably increases the resistance at clipping it on and pulling it off. So much so that it quickly started chaffing the material of my pocket. So had to drop this one on the work bench or throw it in the tool box for use.

Good Value

This is a well made, affordable knife. Well suited for everyday carry. I gave it to my son who will use it daily at work.
