The knife handle was not opaque as I was expecting, but rather has a Confederate flag emblem under clear acrylic handle scales. Not a big deal, just thought to mention it. Though I suspect that the handle scales wouldn't hold up very well to impact if the knife were to be dropped on a hard surface? The knife was a little difficult to open and close on arrival, and will need to be worked in a little. The knife arrived with a reasonably sharp edge. A few things that were not listed on the Bud K website, but are helpful to know. The knife weighs just under 3.9oz, so it's a little on the heavy side for a folding knife. The knife blade does not lock. Despite some of the drawbacks listed above, I do like this knife and would recommend it for someone that wants a larger folding knife. It has a decent sized blade that would be useful for larger, heavier tasks, yet seems as if it would handle smaller tasks just as well, and appears to be of a nice, sturdy design, For $4.00 you really can't go wrong with this knife. I don't know if the manufacturer ever reads these reviews? But a lanyard hole\loop would be a very welcome addition to this knife, as well as a thumb stud to aid in opening the blade.

very good knife it was so worth it and at such a low price at first i thought it would be one of the small ones but its not its a good knife!!!
