United Cutlery Tailwind Assisted Opening Mini Nova Skull Pocket Knife Silver

Please watch the the YouTube video titled "How It Works : Tailwind Assisted Opening Mechanism" before attempting one hand opening. It might save you band aids. I have band aids on my middle and ring fingers right now. You need to use the thumbscrew to deploy the blade. This is tricky if you have big hands. It's a small knife and there is no place to rest your middle finger while putting pressure on the thumbscrew. If you like a challenge, this knife is for you. It's really a cool design. But, it takes practice to be able to open with one hand. It's safer with two hands.

Great knife. The first one I rec'd was very hard to open. Called BudK customer service and a new one was shipped out. Worked perfectly. Very fast and easy to open. Also the blade was sharp right out of the box. BudK has great stuff at great prices !!!

It appears as a beauty but from the start a sticky little monster. The blade will not open smoothly,it sticks.This was to be a great spring assisted little beauty and it disappoints me greatly. One of the worst knives, if not the worst, got from BUDK. Sorry' but I cant recommend it to anyone.
