Good sized knife, and I state this first because I ordered cold steel kudu knife with this one and the size of kudu shocked me. The MB is a perfect sized I think anything bigger or smaller would be weird for me personally. To put things in perspective, I was looking for a carryable knife that I would be able to use in a normal city life task. I’m not thinking of going into the woods and cutting barks and fire wood, just cardboard boxes and whatever else needs cutting. (not that it can’t cut wood, but the size is a bit small for any cutting task I couldn’t just snap with my arms)
Almost hair shaving sharp from the box which I liked. no need to sharpen this one. It looks great. the thumb stud opening was hard to do, maybe I need practice or it needs time to break in. the button opening was really easy and I love it. the safety lock is something I don’t think I need, but hey it doesn’t really hurt to have extra option.
Overall, love it and glad I bought it. only down side was that there was a scratch on the belt holder(sorry I don’t know the name of it) and it’s not a scratch mark that it could have gotten in a box. (it’s like someone slid it on a concrete floor) I had a ‘already opened before I got to it’ problem with kudu that I ordered at the same time, and this is pissing me off. would have dropped a star, but didn’t seem fair to such a great product. (amazon knife department needs to keep their eyes on their employees)

I bought one of these knives to replace my switchblade (which had broken), and I immediately fell in love with it. The thumb stud is perfectly positioned and the opening of the knife is smooth and fast. This is by far the sharpest knife out-of-the-box I have ever owned. The construction is tight; the blade does not rattle around like with some of the other spring assisted knives I have. The pocket clip is useful and well designed. The handle is well proportioned and fits well in my hand, and the friction surfaces on it (kinda like grip tape or sandpaper) prevent any slipping.
There are two minor faults-not enough to lower the star rating but worth mentioning. First, don’t be an idiot like me and leave the blade wet; it will start to rust just a bit. More cosmetic than anything. Second, the lever on the back (the secondary way of opening the knife) has a plastic bit that broke off of mine; it pressed against the corner of my pocket in such a way that it just snapped off after a few months. It was a one in a hundred type of deal, and if I had known about it, it could have been avoided easily.
But seriously, this is the best knife I have ever owned. Perfect for normal utility jobs, and it will last lifetime.

Awsome knife, smooth mechanics, SHARP, quick open, very well built. I’m very pleased with this knife. Out of all of the AO knives that I own – this is the best hands down. Would recommend and will buy more of this brand!
