The blade on this knife is very well made, but the Epoxy coating on the handles starts to come off with a little use, and the cast metal handles cracks easily. Also the safety locking lever fits loosely after light wear. Customer service / warranty on this product is poor.

This is a nice knife. Great size for your pocket and easy to open. It is very sharp and seems well made. I would buy another.

I have had this knife for about 1/2 a year. The blade takes an excellent edge, and the lock-up is VERY tight when open. Absolutely no play at all. The coating on the handles suprised me. After reading a few reviews, I expected it to come off, however despite a lot of use, the coating is still there, though there are a few scratches naturally. The lock did get a little lose when the knife was closed, but I fixed this with a very small amount of JB Weld. Now, this knife looks and functions great.
It's pretty hefty too for it's size, which I prefer. Also, the blade is very thick.
For the price, it was an excellent buy.

I have personally owned this same knife since 1990 and it has held up to multiple sharpening both professionally and when needed with my sharpening stone. Great tool (and at times a fun knife to show off when you get good at opening and closing it) I would recommend thus to anyone in the market for a quality pocket knife.
