Be advised, these require regular cleaning and lubrication. I have a Schrade single action, tanto blade, assisted opening, OTF. They're fine, but require a bit of care.

Thanks a lot... I had been on a sabbatical from ordering anything online for 2 monrhs.... till this morning. I spent some of the $$$ that I had saved for a bench_maid Infi_del, the rest will finance my next build.

Been playing with this knife for a while now. It's aus8 steel which is to be expected for a $40ish knife. The action is actually pretty solid and not junk. It's a bit bulky due to the non removable (without non-reversible drilling the mounting rivets) pocket clip.

Action was smooth from the get go but I still "broke it in" with no lube for quite a bit, maybe 300 openings, then lubed with eezox. Really smooth opening action now.

The video review above is spot on with all features. U learn how to get ur thumb out if the way of the slide when opening after a few tries.

When extended there is no slop in blade moving around. But it's new and that's better evaluated after lots of use. For $40 it's a darn fun toy imo.
