By Kilibreaux "RK" (Madera, California) - See all my reviews The construction is solid...black anodized, micro-grooved scales with large, appealing "lightening holes". Oversized blade pivot, and well-finished, tiny screws holding it all together. On the right side is located a strong, spring-steel pocket clip, also finished in a deep, matte black, attached by three tiny screws just behind the pivot pin. The blade is just shy of 3.25", a dropped, tanto style with serrations along half its lower edge. The blade is also "single sided" meaning the "front" (left) side has the contour shaping, serrations, and logo, while the "back" (right) side is flat.

Customer Video Review Length:: 1:12 Mins4 stars, but that is as a knife in general and does not factor in the price. At $10, well worth the cost (5 stars). The Main Points: First, I've only had this one day, so these are some initial thoughts. The thumb stud and liner lock are a nice latch that makes it easy to open and close with one hand. The serrations are nice, and work OK as a wood saw, not amazing, but there is just a little over an inch of serration, so what can you expect? The only complaint: I don't like that the blade has an angle bend. A curve would be much nicer for such things as whittling. Overall, a good tool. I am satisfied with my purchase and would reccomend it to others. *Update* - yeah guys I have come to understand that a tanto blade has the angle. But I want to point out that particular shortcoming to someone like me, who had no idea what that meant. So to all- This is a great Tanto blade. Enjoy. |
