Great Simple Knife

By Ranked #21 - Kayak Accessories November 17, 2008

This is a great simple knife. As the description says no bells and whistles. The blade has a thumb stud. It isnt spring assisted, but it isnt that difficult to open it with one hand. It does take a little bit getting used to but with a little practice you'll be flicking this knife open quickly. This knife wont open up if you drop it. I did test it by dropping it on my floor from about shoulder height a few times. Blade stays in its place when folded. It might get loose after being opened a lot over time, but for now I'm not worried about it accidentally opening up.
Knife feels solid, nice smooth opening action. Handle is solid and feels comfortable to hold in my hand. Has a pretty good weight to it, fairly well balanced. Has the LAWKs system so this folding knife can be locked into a fixed position for those times when your a little bit of excessive force on the knife. Knife has a built in clip so you can clip it onto your belt or wherever you feel like clipping it.
Word of caution, this knife is really sharp. Was running my thumb lightly across the blade a few times back and forth and before I knew it I drew some blood. Didnt realize it actually cut my thumb until the blood starting coming out a few mins later.

This is a great knife, and for its price you really cant complain. If your looking for a knife just to have around when you need it and need something cheap take a look at this one.
