the knife it self is awesome. i don`t know what other are saying about it deployment..the knife is very very fast deploying does not need oil or something like that..the knife itself is very beautiful and has a very strange look. this knife is very good quality. The locking mechanism is good..even if it is not locked it need a very little force with your thumb.If you cant afford the O.T.F knifes wich cost 300$ (like i do) than this knife is freaking awesome.

I only have one warning to those people who had never used such i knife.. i was playing with it learning how to deploy and close it with one hand. and soddenly i could not and decided to quickly help with my left hand and i accidentally let off the slider (i almost had it closed on the half way) and it went right in my hand.i wont go through details but the cut was deep.. that was e good lesson. now i know that this knife is sufficiently dangerous. but steel o love it. all my friend loved it. i recommend you this knife but for few days until you learn how it works be careful.

Very nice knife once opened. That being said it is not an easy knife to open. Once you unlock the safety which is easy to do you have slide the whole knife to the very end of your hand to open it by pushing with your thumb hard towards the opening end of the knife. The problem is you can only hold the knife with two fingers while pushing with your thumb, which makes it hard to hold on to the knife plus very difficult to deploy quickly in and emergency situation. I tried oiling the knife after reading other reviews with no change in the amount of pressure needed to deploy the blade. S&W's other spring assisted side opening knife was much earlier and felt stable in one hand while opening. I still like this knife it just won't be the first one I reach for when needed.

Nice knife for the price. It took mere minutes to sharpen and has held a good edge so far. My only complaint would be that the locking mechanism doesn't work like its supposed to when the blade is extended.
