This blur is the best yet. It is made with attention to details. It is light weight and sharp. The blade is 13C26 Sandvik steel. You can’t go wrong with this knife. Made in the USA!!

MADE IN CHINA…Great knife, razor sharp, looks good, feels solid. Like the other reviewer said the color is not like you see on Amazon. It is a darker red with a satin like dull finish not the bright shiny finish That I was expecting. The box has a sticker that says MADE IN USA I peeled it back and the box says……………… MADE IN CHINA …. just in case that matters to you. They probably did a final assembly or etch or some other minor step here to be able to say made in USA. Legal , yes… misleading YES

I’ve had this knife for just over 6 months, and it’s seen occasional everyday cutting tasks, such as opening boxes, cutting rope, stuff like that. It’s extremely useful, but there are some downsides:
1.) it’s a liner lock, which has worn out with use. But, if you take out the pivot screw all the way, then put it back in, it seems to clear it up, and make the blade lock up better.
2.) the blade is hard to sharpen with a stone, but you can touch it up with a honing steel, or diamond rod.
I would buy this knife again, without hesitation. I would go through two 100$ knives in 6 months while this humble 50$ has lasted me for almost 7 on it’s own. It’s a great knife, and will last for a while with occasional maintenance.

This is really a sweet knife. I really like the color scheme and the fit and finish of this, extremely sharp, knife. It has a great heft and balance, with smooth, efficient operation. The blade is thick and strong, making it an excellent work knife. The speed safe option works very well for one-handed operation, with either hand.
It’s an excellent value, in my opinion. You can’t go wrong with this knife. I like mine so much that I ordered another for a spare.

This knife is my favorite among all. I have Gerbers, Bucks & Kershaws.
Pros:
- Sharp out of the box, & tough steel
- Serrated edge is sharp & aggressive
- Red & black contrasts well, which is easy to spot should you drop it in the grass at night
- Grip is VERY aggressive; It’s basically skateboard grip secured to the knife (like 80 grit sandpaper)but is very durable & waterproof
- Simple one-handed operation; right amount of spring action — not too springy to the point of accidental opening
Cons:
- Though the grip is good, it can be a little too aggressive on the clip side. It will likely shred-up your jeans/belt eventually clipping the knife off & on.
- I’d like to see a little more for forefinger slip protection, but still adequate
I would recommend as a good general purpose knife.
