Excellent Value,

This review is from: Mtech Extreme Tactical Folding Pocket Knife,With Aluminum Handle Knives Black (Sports)
With knifes, you have to use and abuse them a little before you can write a fair review based on it's performance. For most knifes of this price you wouldn't expect super high quality as you would with prominent knife makers like Benchmade or CRKT, etc. In this instance, however, this is actually a fairly well made knife. And, I will be quick to point out it is made out of the same high quality steel that most high end knifes are made from (440C). I have had no problems so far with mine in the two months that I have had it and I use it A LOT. Mostly as a utility knife but it would make an excellent all around everyday and campers knife. It has kept a sharp edge so far and the tip has not bent or been damaged even though I have used the tip to pry open things. The design is nice and comfortable to hold. The lock has worked well and consistent. I had to actually loosed the screws on mine with a torx wrench just a little so that the "quick open" finger notch worked more smoothly. With a light flick it whips open quickly now. It is super thin & the pocket clip works nicely. It's not too heavy even though it is a decent sized knife. I would rate this overall as a very useful utility and/or campers/hikers knife and would recommend it!

Great knife, but prepare to fix the pivot screw,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mtech Extreme Tactical Folding Pocket Knife,With Aluminum Handle Knives Black (Sports)
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.

Good value,
By joshyxfamous "joshyxfamous" (Tulsa OK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mtech Extreme Tactical Folding Pocket Knife,With Aluminum Handle Knives Black (Sports)
I got this knife the other day and at first I was a bit skeptical about it. When I took it out of the box I was immediately suprised with how good it looked. Even though the grapghics are painted on, it still looks great. The blade is a good length for a tactical folder. It is a bit on the heavy side but I dont mind so owell. The blade deploys nicely with a good flick. I also purchased a S&W extreme ops(partially serrated) blade as my edc knife. Ill probably carry both and recommend both. Hope this review was helpfull.
