Great knife got on $5 Friday. Love it. Oiled it up working great. Only compliant is one the black wooden scales is too thin and the brass liner can be felt. Otherwise I'll buy another. Thanks BudK.

I like the style and feel. As others have noted, it is a bit large and heavy for pocket carry, but that's fine; it's a beautiful knife. I have only two concerns: 1) The liner lock does not readily snap into place. Perhaps some wear where the blade and lock meet will cure that over time. 2) There are some small scratches on on one side of the handle, covering about an inch along the handle, and the finish in that area is a bit dull, as though something was rubbed against it. It detracts from the aesthetics of the knife but obviously doesn't affect the operation. Overall, I am happy to add it to my collection.

I have wanted this knife for 20 years.But never had the money for it when it was in stock.Not wealthy here.Well?This time?Things worked out.And at $10.00?What a steal?I am a Master Knife and Sword fighter outside of work...3 r/d degree gook and internationally certified to teach these skills too.So I know blades.After I received this?I tightened everything up first.Then?I put on a Gloss coat of oil based polyurethane to seal the damned thing from future scratch's.Then I sharpened it enough so you can shave with it.It has a blade 1 inch longer than my previous pocket knife I used for 21 years.That one was also purchased at BudK.I will put this one in my will to pass on.Ditto the last one.I do recommend this.Very beautiful and functional when I was done upgrading it.4 people have already tried to steal this from me too.Thanks for this!

I bought this years ago (2018) and am ordering another. This thing is really sharp and deploys VERY quickly. I showed it to a guy at work and I was sitting on a work-stool chair. He snapped it and it skidded off the floor and cut my dockers at the cuff and missed my leg by inches. So, I talked to him privately. But I love this knife.

This knife looks great from a distance, but is not strong, and is not a user. Pros: - Low price, and acceptable quality for the price - It looks fantastic from the side with the blade open - It's BIGGER than you might imagine; way bigger than most "Gentleman's" knives Cons: - Flimsy liner lock doesn't engage tightly (lots of blade wobble) - Liner lock release interferes with finger grip when the blade is open (it extends too far down) - A pointy extension on rear edge of blade looks bad when closed - Thumb stud only for right hand use (NOT ambidextrous) - Thumb stud positioned too close to the wood, so opening requires two hands. The stud is pointless. - There are TWO metal liners on one side and ONE liner on the other side. The knife is asymmetrical and looks ridiculous from the top. Considering the weak liner lock, this should have been a simple slip-joint design. Overall: I bought this purely because of the look and expected a cheap product. I'm happy looking at it on the shelf, but would never actually use it for fear of breakage. I'd love to see this model remade at the $50 or $100 price point.

well put together very pretty knife.After I got my first one I ordered a second.just in case.

Bought three and was satisfied with all of them. Very sturdy. Very sharp. Easy to open with one hand. Would highly recommend to anyone.

It is exactly what it is described as. it may be a little too large to carry conventionally, and has no clip, but it doesn't pretend to. its a solid construction, it feels nice in your hand, and it is of surprising quality for the price. This knife could cost 20-30+ dollars and it wouldn't be a shock, and it would still be worth it. there are some places where the wood is worn away inexplicably, but its barely noticeable unless you scrutinize the blade very closely. Very sharp out of box, and locks up tight. my only real complaint is that thumb stud is hard to use because its so close to the handle, and it sort of has to be opened from an unconventional angle, and is very much not ambidextrous. four well-earned stars. a near perfect knife, for the price--unbeatable. makes a good gift for knife people that like having unique styles.

This knife can be carried in the inside jacket of your suit or in the pocket of your jeans. Either way it looks great and performs well with out being awkward or hard to handle. I'm going to buy more for friends!

This Knife is a real bargain,great looks, long proportion, nice feel.After a week though, I realized it's a bit heavy to carry as a daily pocket knife. Perhaps a smaller or lighter version would be perfect. If you order one, get two or more, they make great gifts and the price is right!
