Spring Assisted Tactical Pocket Knife - 8" Overall Straight Blade Opening Folding Knife w/Titanium Blade and Handle - Metal Pocket Clip For Easy Carry (Silver)

God, I love this knife. I whip it out, whenever possible at work and revel in all the adoration, from my coworkers. It comes super sharp. You have been warned. :-)

I have about six of these type of knives, so I know exactly how they should work. The locking mechanism on this knife does not slide over and lock the blade in place! Based on how a knife like this gets used, that makes this knife literally worthless. You can see from the picture I added that The locking mechanism is too far left. Well the weight, balance, and sharpness of the knife are great, if it doesn’t lock it in place, it is of major concern to anyone who would use it. I bought a second one in black. It appears to be operating OK, but I’m going to reserve judgment on it until I use it a few times. Well I hoped to give these as gifts to my daughter and son-in-law, now I am worried about the liability in danger involved in using something like this. Hopefully the company will rectify the issue.1/20/17 update: Changing to 3 stars because the company sent me a new one with a nice letter. The new one does lock properly. Subtracting one star for the first one not locking properly.

Great knives. Cool design. Sometimes the blade gets stuck but I fix that with a little oil. The set screws for the clip come loose but that can be fixed with lock right or fingernail polish. Over all great knife.

This is a large, heavy knife, appears to be very sturdy and arrived medium sharp. I see this as a good, solid utility knife, but not really suitable for EDC.
