5.0 out of 5 stars I love my knife, July 16, 2009

I bought one of these knives to replace my switchblade (which had broken), and I immediately fell in love with it. The thumb stud is perfectly positioned and the opening of the knife is smooth and fast. This is by far the sharpest knife out-of-the-box I have ever owned. The construction is tight; the blade does not rattle around like with some of the other spring assisted knives I have. The pocket clip is useful and well designed. The handle is well proportioned and fits well in my hand, and the friction surfaces on it (kinda like grip tape or sandpaper) prevent any slipping.

There are two minor faults-not enough to lower the star rating but worth mentioning. First, don't be an idiot like me and leave the blade wet; it will start to rust just a bit. More cosmetic than anything. Second, the lever on the back (the secondary way of opening the knife) has a plastic bit that broke off of mine; it pressed against the corner of my pocket in such a way that it just snapped off after a few months. It was a one in a hundred type of deal, and if I had known about it, it could have been avoided easily.

But seriously, this is the best knife I have ever owned. Perfect for normal utility jobs, and it will last lifetime.

Awsome knife, smooth mechanics, SHARP, quick open, very well built. I'm very pleased with this knife. Out of all of the AO knives that I own - this is the best hands down. Would recommend and will buy more of this brand!

4.0 out of 5 stars Had To Send For Replacement, October 8, 2010

I loved the knife, but the safety switch broke on me after a week and had to send for a replacement.The knife is light and small enough to carry in your pocket. I thought the blade would be longer and narrower,but i like the knife and use it everyday. Hopefully the safety switch won't brake on me again with the new one.
