Negative Reviews:

Bad knife

Rating:*
This knife is hard to open, but a little lubricant would most likely solve this. The real problem is closing it. To do this you need one hand to push open the frame of the knife and one to shut the blade. Slip a little and you may end up cutting yourself.

Poor Quality

Rating:*
For the price, this knife lacks quality. I was displeased with how difficult it was to open and close; the bearings are stiff the locking mechanism is poorly designed. For a few dollars more, Gerber offers much better quality and craftsmanship.

not that bad

Rating:***
Have had the knife for 6mo. Used mostly for hiking and hunting. Not the greatest knife, but works fine for me. I can see how you could hurt yourself when closing the knife. I haven't had any problems...yet. I think [$]is a fair price.
