United Cutlery Tailwind Assisted Opening Urban Tactical Recurve Pocket Knife

I have ordered several items from budk.com and have yet to be disappointed. This open assist recurve folding knife was very sharp right out of the box, as have all the knives I have ordered from them have been, no complaints what so ever. I have not had any problems with my knife like have I have read in some of the other comments, thankfully! Overall a great little blade fits nicely in the hand, good and sharp, and the open assist works wonderfully.

i have shopped with B.K.for a long time and i haven't had one complaint in over 4 years. think that is a pretty good track record..G. T.

This unique knife looks fantastic and is a welcome addition to my collection. Sadly, the knife has a tendency to open partially on its own, which makes it very dangerous to carry in your pocket. Last night, the knife opened partially while it was in my pocket. I was unaware that it had opened, and I cut my hand severely when I reached into my pocket to get my keys.

overall, this is a good knife. light, quick open, and had a good edge right out of the box. i encountered a strange problem with mine, it didn't seem to have the locking mechanism that many assisted open knives have when in the closed position. and its gotten to the point where now it won't stay closed for more than 3 seconds. maybe i just got a defective one, but like i said, when working properly, this is probably my favorite knife
