Blackwood Stiletto Automatic Knife - Lever Release Side Opening, Lock

This is my third auto-knife purchase from Bud K/CHK. The quality of this Chinese-made knife is very good compared to similarly priced Asian button knives. The blade deploys with a snap. It is polished and appears to be of good quality steel. Open your knife as soon as it arrives. It needs to be stored open when not carrying it. Do not pull up on the spring. It has "memory" and pulling it up to make more tension will only weaken it. If stored open, the spring will maintain good tension. The fit and finish is very good... perfect for edc. The nylon carry pouch is thin. It will break down in short order. Use something else or put it in your pocket. DON'T forget to ALWAYS store your button knives opened.

Fires just like it should. Love the design. Decently sharp. Sturdy with no play. The bottom edge of the lever could use some rounding off but I can do that with a Dremel. I'd love it if the maker would come out with a shotshell puller model. Hint, hint.

I saw it and was amazed at how simple it was.I own several knives like it but this one is my new favorite

Spring is a bit weak but if your very careful you can bend the spring a bit for a better snap. Not super sharp but very easy to put a great edge on. The claps the fires the knife needs a bit of work to sit flat in the open and closed position. A dremel tool works great and needs just a bit of adjustment to be spot on. Overall I would recommend this knife as it is a great deal for the price.
