Last Knife I'll ever Need [Posted on 2008-05-10]
Unless I lose this knife, I will never need another... Except for maybe a machete. I use this every day, even if I don't necessarily need to, and I think it's getting sharper. Blade launcher is so much fun to use, it should be illegal. The carribiner is useless as an attachment function, but has made my life so much easier as a beer bottle opener. I used to use the blade of my old knife as a bottle opener in an emergency, and that was just bad for the blade, and my fingers. Now my blade remains sharp and I'm free to do other stupid things with it, like cutting the security tags off of merchandise at shopping malls.
A very nice, but not perfect knife [Posted on 2008-05-17]
I got this as a replacement for a knife I lost a while ago, and so far I like this knife quite a bit, but have a few minor complaints.
First, the things I liked;
-bottle opener/carabiner is very useful, yet never gets in the way and doesn't take up much space
-the blade is nice and sharp and hasn't dulled much since I got it
-the serrated-edge is very useful
And now the things I didn't;
-The bottle opener does not open all types of bottles and is more difficult than a traditional one to use
-the blade launcher does not work for me. My old knife had one which worked perfectly, however on this one no matter how many times I've tried it only will open half way, which is simply not convenient since I still need to use my other hand. I'm not sure if this is by design or just a problem with my knife specifically, but either way I am disappointed.
Overall, A good knife with many features, but by no means would I call it perfect
Much to bulky [Posted on 2008-06-22]
This knife has a very excellent blade but the handle is much to thick and bulky. Could do without the clip on the bottom.
Great Knife [Posted on 2008-08-29]
Extremely sharp, good looking and the blade ejector tab is way cool. With a little practice it may as well be a switchblade. The carrabiner/bottle opener is a nice feature too. Its a Leatherman, if you've ever owned any of there stuff you know its well-made.
perfect pocket knife [Posted on 2008-11-18]
This is a perfect little knife to carry around with you.
Pros:
- Very sturdy and well built
- keeps a sharp edge
- the all aluminum handle looks awesome
- there is no play in the blade when it is open and locked, like u get with cheap knives
- the bottle opener/carabiner locks open, and neatly folds away when you don't need it
Cons:
- the handle is a tad bit big, but it needs to be to accommodate the bottle opener/carabiner, but it feels good in your hand and looks awesome
- the blade launcher works perfectly...for about 3 days. After you have it in your pocket and use it a few times you get dirt and lint in the joint and the blade will only open halfway with the blade launcher, a simple flick of the wrist will open it from there but sometimes it is a pain to do with two motions. It is good to spray some oil in there fairly often to keep the joint lubricated. The bottle opener/carabiner likewise gets grit in the joint, you can hear it grind when you open it.
- If you ever need to dismantle your knife for whatever reason, or tighten the pocket clip, you will need to use a special "#8 Torx" screw bit. Which if you don't have one you can probably find it at your local hardware store.
Over all this is the best knife you can buy for $30
