 Screws came off in less than 2 weeks. August 25, 2010
Julie Ye
So when i first got it, it looked pretty cool. Then, i just stopped using it for 2 weeks. Well, what do you know? Right after i tried to cut something after it idled for 2 weeks one of the screws just popped right off. And it wasnt just a little screw outside, it was inside the blade. So basically 10 bucks gone in 2 weeks
 Great knife, but prepare to fix the pivot screw August 16, 2010

I bought this knife for my 14-year-old son, and he loves everything about it (and I certainly loved its low price!). But after two weeks of use, the screw on which the blade pivots loosened and fell out. Fortunately my son retrieved the part and handed all of it to me to be repaired.
If this happens to you -- and enough users on Amazon have reported problems with these screws backing out that you might want to anticipate it -- you'll need a small Torx screwdriver (size "T8" to be precise) and a bit of Loctite, or similar thread locker (available at any hardware store or auto parts store). The blade is surrounded by a nylon bushing on each side. Once you make sure that those bushings are in place, put a drop of Loctite on the screw, and use the Torx driver to tighten it to just where you would like it -- tight enough to have little or no play, but loose enough that you can extend the blade with a flick of the wrist. I'd suggest using "removable" threadlocker rather than "permanent", just in case you ever want to change the screw adjustment. And use just a drop; you don't want to foul the nylon bushings that keep the blade moving smoothly.
Incidentally, for those of you with video-game-playing kids, you might already own a T8 Torx driver, because it's the same tool that opens up an Xbox 360 controller. If you don't have one, you can get this one on Amazon for about five bucks: Silverhill Tamper Resistant Torx size T8 for Xbox 360 Controller
In spite of this annoyance -- and it definitely IS annoying -- the knife is an awesome bargain, fully meeting my son's needs.
 Sturdy and Comfortable August 6, 2010
John Gulledge (Molino FL USA)
My first thought when I took this knife out of its box was wow, it's heavy feeling! When I say heavy IM talking about it feels sturdy, not cheap and flimsy. It's stiff to open but it's new, that'll work. When in open mode, the grip/handle is very comfortable, and it impressed me. It's stamped on the blade AMERICAN design, I liked that, wished it was made in the good ol USA! For the price, pick you up two. Nice sturdy comfortable, and affordable. Very pleased with this purchase so far!
Best pocket knife ever!!! August 5, 2010
Chris (riverside, ca)
I bought this knife and am really pleased with my purchase. I was a little skeptical at first because of what others were saying but now I know that they are just ignorant when it comes to pocket knives. If you buy this pocket knife you wont be dissapointed.

you definetally get your money's worth out of this one. this knife is super durable, can fit in your pocket or palm and does not weigh much, it also has a little latch on the side for a quick draw of the blade. Over all i gave it 5 stars for durability, the comfert and style
