Ok it's a cheap knife. But that being said, it has alot of utility use nonetheless. I use it to pry things open, to scrape glue residue off of things, and I have even used it to open cans. Basically I use it in functions that would be not as sound to use as it would dull the knife badly. But I put it through the wringer, and it has held up. It does not stay sharp, but for scraping things, and prying open things, and whatever else, I don't need it to be sharp. It's just become useful for things other than cutting where a sharp edge is not necessary. Not to mention it wasn't even that sharp out of the box to begin with. But if you were looking for a knife with a sharp edge that you do want to use as an actual knife that is similar to this, I would say go with the Gerber. It's more expensive, but it is much sharper out of the box than this ever was.

Extremely solid knife, the blade is strong and if I had to do a stab with it whether into a hard piece of wood, or any other strong material, I know for certain it wouldn't break. This is a high quality blade, and isn't too big to look awkward in your pocket. Can still be concealed, and even comes with a seat-belt cutter on the handle. Keep this on me when I go into a seedy neighborhood. Never had to use it, and the grip is also extremely nice.

This would be an excellent knofe, but it has one fatal design flaw: the clip is oriented in the wrong direction. When you have this knife in your pocket, the blade tip is pointing up. That means when you pull it oit, the blade opens itself about halfway. There is no way around this, it just happens. This puts the very sharp blade in a great position to slice your finger or thumb open every time you pull it out of your pocket. It's just not worth the hassle.

I really like this knife! I carry it on my hip daily. It is sturdy and useful. The factory edge left a little to be desired. If you're like me, you'll want to put your own edge on it. But, it sharpens up nicely and keeps it's edge for a good couple of weeks before it needs sharpening, depending on how much you use it and how sharp you like to keep your knife. It's hard to find another knife of this quality for this price. I paid about 20 bucks for mine. A great knife, a great value!

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? A knife this big, this sharp, and this sturdy for less than $50! Deal of the century. I love this knife, and no one has to know I paid next to nothing for it. It does the job, cuts rope, wood, and wire ties with ease. Stays sharp too so far. If you have a hankerin' for knives then get this one.
