2.0 out of 5 stars Not a Rescue Knife, February 15, 2011

Got this to replace my Smith & Wesson work knife thinking that the glass breaker and the seat belt cutter would be a great addition. The blade itself comes very sharp and I'm pleased with that, though the profile is a bit larger than I'm used to. The liner lock is solid, like the other knife I had. The weight is good and I'm sure the glass breaker would work fine, but the safety cutter does NOT work. I work for a company that makes car seats and we have seat belt material sitting around, the safety cutter will not cut it, won't cut rope, can't cut paper, I see no applicable use for the safety cutter, in fact I feel that if you tried to use the safety cutter in an emergency situation it would do more harm than good because you would be waisting a lot of time trying to make it work instead of just turning the knife around and using the blade.

Maybe I got a defective blade, I don't know, I'm going to contact smith & wesson and if nothing happens there, I'm giong to take the knife apart and try to sharpen the safety cutter.

And if that doesn't work, I'll just use it as a regular knife until I can upgrade.

I recently purchased this knife and was amazed at the wonderful quality for so cheap. The blade lock-up is VERY tight absolutly no wiggle what-so-ever. The deployment is quite slow but with some wrist flick it speeds up the process some. It is rather heavy at 5.7 ounces but it is a tough knife. It has the flow-through design so mud and water can flow on through. The clip is tip down non-movable, however is sits very deeply in the pocket. The steel liner is not skeletonized but it is attached with adjustable screws to disassemble the knife if necessary. Out of the box the blade needs quite the touching up on its edge, for it is rather dull. There is a small thumb ramp, but no grooves to catch your thumb, however the underneath hold the index finger superbly. The handle itself is very ergonomic and just wants to be held.

For the price, this knife is very hard to beat. It is very solid, and has a nice hefty feel. As a defense weapon, the weight lends to using it as a blunt impact weapon, and the blade has good balance. Opening it is a breeze...a quick flick of wrist and push with thumb will have it locked open...(don't know what some other reviewers complaint about opening mechanism could have been about...I've had this for over a month now...very smooth from get go).
