Rampage Tailwind Ball Bearing Pocket Knife - Stainless Steel Blade, Aluminum And Steel Handle, Pocket Clip - 4 3/4” Closed

I got one for myself and I liked it so much I got three others... one for my daughter, one for my sister, and one from my brother. Opens well most of the time, a slight flick of the wrist completes those rare times it doesn't; and it hold an edge well. Great knife with a great price.

Long & Narrow handle fits well in my hand & upswept Blade works well at a great price. Definitely easy to keep handy as a Pocket Knife.

I have bought many knives from them, and this is one of my favorite for EDC, I now own 2 of them, it is a solid knife, for a damn good price, I’ve put mine through some heavy work and it’s still razor sharp and right and tight. By far a worthwhile buy

One of the best pocket knives I have ever owned. Other people say the assisted opening doesn’t work at all- for me is works very well, there’s only a few times that I’ve had to flick my wrist to get it to open the rest of the way- but that’s not a problem at all. The knife is well built, has a very slim and lightweight design, the blade is razor sharp and gets the job done. Looks amazing too, I’d pay $30 for a knife like this, so the price that it’s at is a very good price.

It was stiff on receipt. However, a couple drops of machine oil and some manual workout made a heck of a difference. The assisted opening is not strong, but properly lubricated I think you'll be happy. It works good for me. I might add it's a solid, lightweight knife and takes a good sharp edge. I can't complain.

Just received this as my KOTM and it looks really, really good with the blade retracted, but when the blade is out it just looks VERY intimidating. Blade is very, very sharp and I can see getting work done with it. As others stated, this is an assisted opening knife, but it only partially works - if at all. This might just be me, but the knife is a lot more basic than my other knives. Part of me worries I could unintentionally break it just holding in the mechanism to close the blade In general, I do love the look and feel of this knife. I hope its small stature is misleading and it lasts a while.

The rampage tailwind is well constructed and balanced, comes with a razor sharp edge and is light. The pocket clip is excellent but the only con to this knife I felt was the lack of assisted opening. Even though it states it has a ball bearing system, it lacks the swiftness of an assisted mechanism.

Tis is a great knife, very sharp and the pocket clip works well.

Light, cool looking, smooth action, and nice everyday carry.

Excellent product: light, smooth action, convenient. So far, it is retaining it's edge quite well.

This knife feels great in the hand, opens quick and easy. The curved blade is sharp and cuts well. Pocket clip is sturdy and fits snug. I'm very happy with this purchase.

A very well designed EDC. I carry it when I go for my daily walks. It is a joy to carry and to Flip out. I have a large collection of both Economy and Expensive Knives and this is one of my favorite ones. The action is as smooth as one of Ken Onions IKBS systems and the design is both striking and useful. Not my first Tailwind and won't be my last

This knife is very light (not cheap feeling), easy to use one handed. It flicks open fast with very little effort (ball bearing system) and the skeletonized designed handle feels good in the hand. Honestly, the pictures make it look larger than it truly is, but that's alright. I've been using it as my primary edc all week and barely notice it's in my pocket. Wearing shorts in the summer, this will be the perfect light edc carry. And, a unique design to set it apart from other knives. Shipping was fast! It's a pleasure doing business with BudK.

This knife does not advertise assisted open, because it's not. I'm not sure where everyone is getting that. That said, the action on it is great. The detent is excellent and the ball bearings are smooth. That combination makes for a very snappy opening. I can see how people would mistake it for assisted open, as the action is pretty much flawless. The lockup on this knife is also excellent. There is no blade play when the lock is engaged. The only problem I have in this area is the smaller profile of the handle lends itself to putting your fingers against the lock bar when trying to close the knife. This can make the knife a little more difficult to close. The blade has a beautiful stonewashed finish. It unfortunately is 3cr13 steel though. This is one of the biggest areas this knife is lacking. I don't really expect a good steel on a cheap knife though. The blade came reasonably sharp. I will hone mine before putting it into my collection. The centering on this knife is excellent, sitting dead center of the blade's resting place. The pocket clip feels a little stiff in hand, but worked as it should when placed onto the pocket liner. My overall impression of this knife is that with a better blade steel, the company could easily charge twice the price. With an 8cr13mov, I'd be willing to pay 30-40 dollars for this knife. With yet an even better steel I might consider the 50-60 dollar price range. This is actually a really good knife for the price point. For the $10 I paid as a knife of the month subscriber, it's an excellent value for the price. The only reason I'm giving this knife four stars, is the issue with the lock bar when closing the knife.

It's a good knife and lightweight as described. The design is beautifuI, and like it, but the hull recessed on the thumb side, so be careful during one handed closing.

as per usual chinese knives, the clip is on the wrong end ! If you put this in your pocket . and try to deploy (open ) it, you will either drop it or lose a valuable opportune moment. The opening button (knub thing) is on the wrong end. I have moved many of these knife clips to fix the problem. I do this by drill and tapping new holes. I am a knife smith/maker.

Good knife, but not great knife. The look is impressive, but they should have used better steel and put in a true assisted opening. If they did that I would pay twice the price - or better. Sometimes it won't open and hurts my finger to try. Also, I have to resharpen the knife after two or three uses.

It was OK but assisted openning it's definitely not
