Smith & Wesson M&P 8.5in High Carbon S.S. Spring Assisted Folding Knife with 3.5in Serrated Drop Point Blade and Rubber Handle for Outdoor Survival and EDC,Tan

Great knife! I was a little skeptical given so few reviews, but I'm glad I took a chance on this one. Had everything I wanted in a EDC survival knife, and has as some great features that rival those found in knives that cost 4x as much. Pros: 1) Sturdy - very little blade wobble. Belt/pocket clip is strong and reliable. 2) Handle is ergonomic and has a nice, rubberized black finish - very grippy and comfortable. 3) Strong, spring assisted opening. Easy to close. No safety FYI (I prefer not to have one for faster deployment). 4) Loaded with features: partially serrated blade, whistle, fire-starter, glass breaker, bottle opener, cord cutter, partially skeletonized handled (weight saving/cool look). Cons: 1) Could be a little sharper out of the box, but that's an easy fix 2) Finish on pocket clip is already wearing off after just a couple weeks of use, which is annoying, but not uncommon - I've had much more expensive knives with this same problem. Overall - 5 stars hands down. Great features and value at such a low price point. Get it!

Good nife for the price..

Very sharp right out of the box and fits my hand very well. Blade flips open easily and clips on the belt. I use it for fishing mainly, but it has also taken the place of my box cutter at work and at home. I have even cleaned fish with it the blade is so good. After several months of Every Day Carry the finish is starting to wear off in the places it rubs the most, but given how it almost never leaves my pocket anymore this is to be expected. I have cut down sticks as rod holders and as fish stringers with this thing. I have tightened wireless antenna ports with the hex slots. I have opened beer bottles with the opener and cut fishing line with both the blade and the cord cutter. I have used the screwdriver to tighten cabinet doors. About the only thing I haven't used in a real situation is the whistle and ferro rod. Overall everything is awesome on this knife. You wont regret it. The only bad thing with my knife is the ferro rod came loose the first time I took it out of its slot on the knife, and fell off the whistle. That made it impossible to use going forward as any time you attempted a spark, the rod would go flying out of the "handle" and into the ground. I used a dab of superglue on the bottom of the rod and it stays in now. Not sure if this is intentional or not but the glue works for me.

I have fairly big hands and dwarf most pocket knives, but this one fits my hand very well. I've been using this blade for a little over a year almost every single day for numerous light tasks. The blade has retained an impressive level of sharpness and flicks open easily once you've got the motion down. HOWEVER, i removed one star because the spring that assists the opening of the blade has somehow slipped out of it's slot. This often leads to the spring preventing you from depressing the lever that allows the knife to close. While not a terribly big issue (usually just smacking the back of the knife on your hand is enough to bounce the spring back into place) it has lead to some folks i've handed it to being unable to close the knife. Other than that minor issue I'd recommend it to anyone who wants a larger EDC knife with slightly more features than a classic one.

Pointy, sturdy, looks cool. Knifes be knifing.

Good quality so far after a year

Awesome Purchase

Not high end but decent selection of multi-tool options. Point, blade and serrated edges are sharp on mine. This piece if very sturdy and easy to hold/handle. The finish on the knife will wear out fast for edc. The knife itself can dull out fast depending on frequency of usage or types of items being cut. ***My one major issue I've had so far, recently discovered, is a spring or part which rests between the plate and blade release lever. The lubricated spring/part moves freely when the knife is in the extended position. When in said position, the spring moves about and actually jams the blade release lever; preventing you from withdrawing the blade and closing it up. I would need to smack the blade around or use something thin enough to reseat (not permanently, of course, because I don't know how it's supposed to be secured) this spring/part before I can close the blade.*** Overall, everything that comes on this knife is usable to a degree; it'll work in the absence of a proper tool. The mechanics are simple enough with very little moving parts; however, whatever parts do move seem to have trouble doing it's part.
