I have this knife without serrations, and it is a handy little blade. I use it mostly if I need a knife for a day trip, or for around camp and it performs well. I have de-limbed small deadfall, and build shelters with just this knife, whittled, cooked, eaten with, pretty much anything you can think of. I found that the blade was tight at first, but after some oil and working it for a while, it flicks open almost as fast as an assisted opener. After this break in period I found that the blade became less stable laterally, causing play when working it hard. Left and right thumb studs are handy if you need to use your other hand, or are a lefty like me, but the left stud is obscured behind the pocket clip, making it a little more difficult. The low weight is nice to have, making it a barely noticeable addition to your pack. Not the best knife around, but all in all a very nice one that handles well.

It's light and compact, but it dulled way to easy. I tried sharpening the straight part of the blade, but it just wouldn't stay sharp. I guess for the price this could be disposable more or less. I went to Sog knives and haven't regretted it at all. I have 3 now.

Good all-purpose, open frame knife however the L.S.T.'s are better for backpacking because of their weight. The Paraframe is very sharp & the serrated edge will cut through almost anything. Handy thumb stud opener works well but my knife needed a lot of breaking in due to a tight-fitting blade. Silicone spray & 3 in 1 Oil worked well for this. Secure pocket clip. Disappointingly made in China!

This is an excellent knife for the money. I like the ease of use and cleaning as well as the partial serration. Durability is exceptional, I embarrassingly lost mine at my friend's land one fall and he happened to find it the following spring, after some cleaning and sharpening it works just fine. I still use this knife.

Great knife for the price. The partial serration is a great feature. As far as quality and durability it has far exceeded my expectations, I embarrassingly lost it at my friend's land one fall and come spring he found it, with a little resharpening and cleaning up it functions just as well as it ever did. I still use it today.

Not terrible. Does what it should for $20, sharp enough & light weight.

Had this one for ~ 1 year. Sharp enough, flicks out easy, but it's falling apart. The screws holding the frame together have started loosening (and falling out) and now the lock really needs pressure to engage (scary)

It is a decent knife, but I believe it has a design flaw. The open frame left me with a cut finger when I retrieved the knife from my pocket. It is a lightweight knife and has a decent blade, but I didn't like it enough to keep it. But I did keep it in the family. I gave it to my wife. SHe likes it and clips it to her backpack straps.
