I got this knife a few days ago and I LOVE IT!!!!!! it is razor sharp out of the box and it is strong. Just to day i dropped the it and the tip hit the ground and it didn't mess up the tip at all. The only down side to this knife is the frame lock. At first it is hard to close the knife but that goes away after a few times of opening it and closing it. For the cost of it! YOU SHOULD BUY IT!! I know i will buy another one. Plus it has a cool way of stopping the blade. I won't tell how it does but when you buy it you'll love it.
