For the price, I was pleasantly surprised. This is a solid, strong knife. Yes, it was a bit dull when it arrived, but that was easy to fix. And the action was very tight straight from the box - but it loosened up with a few uses. The action is still good and solid, the way it should be for a work knife. I'm not much of a knife buff, but a knowledgeable friend gave this knife high marks for rugged construction and good steel - and as a bonus, he hit it a couple of licks on his diamond stone and had it shaving the hair off my forearm. I'm going to buy a couple more as I can think of some people who would be delighted to receive one as a gift.

For the money it is not a bad knife but on mine the locking mechanism is stuck so I can't close the knife and as an added bonus the knife came dull as a screwdriver

Mine came sharp as a razor. This is the essence of America. You couldn't damage this if you ran over it with a truck, and I'd be willing to bet that this lockback will outlast most of it's owners lives. They're not available here but Smokey Mountain Knives dot-com has them for a few dollars more but free shipping so it's a wash... These things are pure metallica.... smooth, indistructable, light. Pure purpose.

I've heard about Bear and Sons knives but this is the first one I've bought. I'm giving it 5 stars for the low price, but the blade opening action is a bit stiff. It's a nice little knife with a few good details like a stainless handle fastened with flush-ground steel rivits. The blade is not terribly sharp out of the box, but should get there with a few swipes on a whetstone.
