I don't know how long this price will last, but at a buck twenty-nine, it's a screaming deal. Shipping is 300 percent of the price on the first one, so buy a bunch.

Anyway, on one hand the unlocking mechanism is somewhat dangerous, requiring you to put your hand between the knife and the clasp. On the other, this is a knife, so some sharpness is to be expected. The checked Zytek-like handle is solid but could use sharper detail; it provides only OK grip. The clip a nice compromise between tension and the ability actually to use it.

The drop-point blade comes with average sharpness, but the steel is relatively soft and takes an edge well. The hinge is also the clip attachment and is an Allen screw, potentially very handy, although you'd want to check for looseness every now and then. If you were really ambitious, it makes it super-easy to replace the handle for something a little more grippy.

Ultra light weight, very handy. Perfect backup for boating, hunting, for an emergency toolkit. Nice everyday pocketknife for our country types, or where you might not want to risk damaging/losing your good Buck folder.

4.0 out of 5 stars A decent knife, July 27, 2010

This is your typical decent, inexpensive whittling knife, I'd say. I managed to accidentally bend the tip, about a year ago, I believe by dropping, throwing, or striking it point-first against a stone. With effort, I sharpened that bent portion of the blade off, causing the tip to be somewhat less pointed, and shorter, but still quite workable. This is a good knife for the reasonable price. I have another or two I like better, but that's me, mainly, and this is a good choice, if you're going for a simple knife. It will stay closed, and lock open, well.
