First of all, it should be noted that this is the same knife (different color) as http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000UUV1EY/?tag=besthuntingknife-20 and http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0009JXRFC/?tag=besthuntingknife-20. The prices of each seem to oscillate up and down slightly (this one was 9.99 when I grabbed it).
This is a decent knife, but in a market where the product ranges from $3 to $300, buyers should be aware that they’re getting what they pay for.
Overall, it’s light but it feels sturdy. The blade opens easily (with the flick of a wrist) right out of the box, and that’s probably going to be a bit too easy for some people. It is rather sharp, not razor sharp, out of the box. The lock is pretty cheap, but it works, though I have had it almost get stuck in the open position a couple of times. There is a loop at the bottom to tie a lanyard through, which is much appreciated.
Overall, this is a bare bones blade that gets the job done. Definitely worth the buy, as long as it doesn’t go much past $10.
