Can quickly release blade for quick easy use. Handles cutting plastic straps and rope well. The only thing I have against is it isn't a spring assisted open, but it is still quick and easy to flip the blade out.
Smith & Wesson First Response Rescue Knife 3.3" Plain Blade, Stainless Steel Handles
This is a great knife for everyday use. The blade is solid and the weight of the whole knife is balenced well. I was worried about the seat belt cutter being a problem in my pocket but there is enough of a curve to the metal around it that it has never been a problem. This is a great knife I reccomend to anyone. The Zytel handel is great, better than some handles that have some glued on sandpaper like stuff that will flake.

Tough knife given daily hard use. Took a fall from a ladder and the small circular blade flip out broke off and was gone. Ordering another. Only minor complaint is it has some weight, but given the fact that its tough. I'll gladly put up with the weight...

Pros: Weight, Pocket Clip
Cons: None
Good for utility, not protection
This is a nice knife mostly. From factory, the blade is too tight to flip open in an emergency. I used the correct size star tool to loosen the flip mechanism, and wouldn't you know about two turns the bolt it stripped from being made of such soft metal. Now I can't turn it at all and the blade is still as stiff as when I got it. Wouldn't recommend this to be an emergency knife, just a utility knife.

Smith & Wesson First Response Rescue Knife 3.3" Plain Blade, Stainless
I received this knife as one of the "oops" knives. It is a very poorly assembled knife. The blades wobbles back and forth and I was actually able to push the knife frame together some with just my hand. The knife feels good in my hand and the blade is a very nice heavy blade but because of the loose frame it will not stay open sometimes It closed on my finger. Blade is very sharp!.
