Picked up one of these 2 years ago. i have punished the HELL out of it on the job sites, and it is still my most dependable every day carry!

Very strong. Very dependable.

Got here sharp(I sharpened it more), it's stiff at first but that's to be expected from a new knife

I bought this knife a couple of weeks ago and I wanted to put it to use before writing my review. When I took it out of the box, it took maybe in a half an hour or so to really work the blade in so that it would open up flawlessly, just a quick flick of the thumb stud and the blade rockets out of the handle and locks with a resounding click. The knife fits well in your hand and is formidable in size as well as appearance. The knife came sharp out of the box, however, I took an hour or so and put a razor sharp edge on it, which seems to be holding to this day. This is a great $15 knife that has exceeded my expectations in every way! Pick one up, I highly recommended it. You won't be sorry!

just got this knife, took it out and did what had to be done! the tests... of course. passed the paper test with flying colors! then i even tried to shave some hairs of my arm. it, didn't shave the entire section, but i didn't want it to. this blade came razor sharp. i do not think i am going to have to sharpen this baby up for a long time. great deal!

First purchase from BUDK and have had it for a couple years and it is still intact. I used it to open boxes at work and cut plastic water bottles for fun. Was sharp when I got it and easy to sharpen with an Accusharp. Friends told me that it looks quite aggressive and perfect for self defense.

Lost my first one, and my brother in law admired my second so ordered him one too! I love the handle. It is long and substantial giving a lot of confidence in use, but not too thick for comfort in my pocket. The thumb stud is positioned right and after a little practice and break in it opens up cleanly and quickly. I do not use the finger ring but feels great in my hand.

This is a thick, sturdy knife. I have had it for over a year and it opens just as smoothly as it did new. The frame lock is thick and the knife feels rigid while open. I originally bought it as a defense carry knife but the blade shape and thickness is just so useful that I use it for everything. I often miss it on days I choose to carry other (more expensive) knives.

Amazing knife, very sturdy lock up and nice blade quality after sharpened. It did come a little dull on the blade closest to the handle. Only problem I have had has been the pocket clip, its a little loose but its an easy fix. Of and it has a very smooth opening.

Had reserves on purchasing a "bit" knife but looking at the price, I gave it a try. WORTH EVERY PENNY! Decent heft. Solid build. Sharp blade. Again, one of those under $25 knife purchases that is well worth it. My only complaint is minor: being a righty, clipped inside my right pant pocket, the stud tends to hook on my pocket lip when extracting with one hand so I tend to use both hands (one to open the pocket, one to remove the knife) to retrieve the knife. Overall, highly recommended!
