For the price i am pleased with this knife. I have not used it yet. Its sheath is actually nice. Its is sharp enough to shave the hair on my arm. It should be capable its nice and thick and should take a beating. Its not a crowbar so dont treat it like that. But for the price you can actually use it and not care. The steel its made of should take and hold an edge what else do you need.

Great knife. I love tactical things so it’s right up my alley.

Excellent pocket knife, Great quality for the price! Arrived in excellent condition. The only problem I encountered was the blade dulling too quickly. But then again, for the price, I just sharpened it again.

Very well made knife for price

Good quality, works well. Sharp blade, easy to use. Good weight

For a mini multi-tool, this one's got a lot going for it. When it comes to functionality and a good tool set. It's probably the one to buy for the money, I bought three and took back two. I did, because all of them are pretty badly misaligned, and while you can still use it like that, that bothered my sensitivities a lot. All of them need adjusting, so I would highly recommend going to the hardware store and getting an allen wrench and a star bit to fit. If you want it to work the screws are going to have to be pretty loose, so loose they may fall out on you. If you adjusted them any tighter you won't be able to get the tools out, and they're not easy to get out in the first place, because thumbnail to pull the tool out is way down inside. Don't use super glue on any of the screws. Instead try this, cut a around toothpick to about 3/8 inch-long. And stick in the hole before you put the screw in. This way as you make your adjustment and tighten it down, the screw won't be loose, and you'll be able to get the tools out with ease. Do this with all four screws for the tools & Pliers. The the lever stop for the pliers, needs to be nice and tight. The safety latch doesn't hold the tools in place very well, because it's bolted and mounted in plastic rather than steel, but it helps a little to have it tight, just not too tight or you'll crack the plastic. Oh and it does need lubrication, so while you're at it you may as well lubricate. The best way to do this, is stick something Down in the Hole that has some lubrication on it and push the bearing piece about halfway out and then apply lubrication to the bearing peace and slide it back in, before inserting the toothpick and screwing the bolt in. The reason I recommend this procedure, is so that the shims and tools stay in place, otherwise it will involve a whole lot more work to put it back together. I realize it can be hours of work, but in the end you'll have a pretty good multi-tool. I like it because it's very small, and has a lot of really good functional tools on it. But you'll probably have to accept, the fact that when you close it up, it won't come together aligned, I don't like this, that's why I bought three of them and took back two. You can get one that is aligned, I did, but it's a roll of the dice.

When my knife arrived I took it out for a quick test drive. I do a lot with scouting and need knives for various tasks. This knife has a decent edge out of the box, but that will obviously be honed. The feel and sturdiness makes me confident when using to cut or strip things using the blade. Very easy and responsive flip out for quick access. The bonus was the fire striker which is stowed in the hilt. I have many of these in my individual packs so it is nice to have one right in my pocket accompanying my knife. I will be out hiking and camping this weekend and will add this to my collection and see how it works out in my more rigorous usage. All in all, I think it is a great value for a knife that seems like it will last for a while. Update as of 8/1/2019: I have had the knife for a couple of months. When I attended a scouting event I used the knife. It worked well. When I returned home after that week, I went to go clean the knife and noticed that the screw/bolt that holds the knife to the handle was missing. This renders the knife useless as it is unstable. I am not able to find out how to reach customer service to find out about servicing the knife. There was not a lot of heavy use, so I am not sure why the bolt was loosened.

Definitely good for the price.
