Not bad for the money, considering what decent quality OTF's are going for. Defenitely for self defense, not going to peel apples with that one. Thank you John.
Hi TK I’m kind of interested in the pattern but I don’t have any full autos. Being in California, I can own….but not carry. Where I live I’m not likely to be busted by John Law but still…..🤔 Besides, some of my assisted opening folders fire out just as fast and they ARE legal. 😊
the biggest problem is the spring, i’ve ran this variant for 2 years and had two different knife springs break on me. it’s a neat knife but if you want to get more than 8 months of life out of it you MIGHT want to de-tension the spring when not in use
Uh no it's actually assisted because you used the slider on the side to pull the blade back in. If it was auto or dual action, the same button would be used to retract or deploy the blade.
il est très beau mais tous les couteaux américains sont fabriqués en Thailande, j' y suis allé et ils valent pas plus de 10 euros ? Désolé de te décevoir ! C' est pas grave si il te plait
What kind of a POS is this that it doesn't retract with the same switch all the out the front knives I've looked at you push the lever forward to stick the blade out and push it back to retract it just as fast
After seeing this review I decided this was interesting enough to try out so ordered one, thanks for the new knife man haha.
Thanks, Otaru. Glad I could help.
Always been interested in these OTF knives, but obviously as I'm in the UK I'd be instantly considered to be a super villain if I bought one
Well, you're my super villain regardless. Thanks Slippy.

No, not what I'd consider a utility blade. Thanks, Jeroen.
Very cool. I’m not an OTF fan myself but good review very informative TK.
@easycompany506 oh boy
I appreciate it, Jesse.
British version of a smith n Wesson fire arm
Accurate. Thanks Cali.
Im not a gun man (don’t hate me!) but I DO LOVE a good blade. This is beauty to me
Nice looking knife! Never owned a OTF yet!!
Pretty cool knife. Good way to check one out.
Excellent review!
Glad you liked it, Randy.
Just got mine but it seems pretty good my blade is not painted and only one side is sharp
Not bad for the price/ It won't be confused with a high end OTF, but it;s a good place to start.
Would you say this knife 'takes a licking and keeps on flicking?'
I think that'd be safe to say. 😆
Works great for Lefties as well! My thumb clears the slider just enough!
I was worried but S&W comes through again!
LEFT HANDED CERTIFIED 8)
Thanks forbidden!
Any idea how to replace the pocket clip if it breaks?
I've not looked into it. Maybe try and contact them. Thanks, bondhenry.
I like that the actuator is on the center instead of the side. Interesting retraction mechanism.
It does feel more natural this way. Thanks Frog.
Hi TK

This is true, stay out of trouble Bishop. Thanks for having a look.
Great review and a decent price but Smith & Wesson / American Outdoor Company but made in Taiwan . It looks Fast for 50.00 to get into a OTF not bad .
Yes, good entry level OTF. Thanks, Craig.
Here it is!
Yessir. Interesting knife. Chunky!
Looking for a pocket clip replacement mine broke off
I've not had much luck with Schrade replacing parts.
No one has that belt clip
Interesting knife! I do like the blade. I’m not a huge auto fan but they are fun knives!
Yes, exactly. I really wanted to check one out.
the biggest problem is the spring, i’ve ran this variant for 2 years and had two different knife springs break on me. it’s a neat knife but if you want to get more than 8 months of life out of it you MIGHT want to de-tension the spring when not in use
btw if someone shows me where to buy replacement springs ill become a twink for you
Smart. Thanks for sharing your experience with it, Glass.
How is it considered spring assisted and not an automatic?
Considered an auto, just doesn't have auto return. Thanks, Jack.
Not really in my wheelhouse, but a good review as always TK.👍
Thanks, Steve. 👍

Is this knife considered assisted or auto? Looking for a legal otf if that’s even a thing lol. Living in cali sucks.
Auto. Doubt it would be legal in Cali.
Uh no it's actually assisted because you used the slider on the side to pull the blade back in. If it was auto or dual action, the same button would be used to retract or deploy the blade.
It's assisted. He had to manually retract the blade by using the slider on the side instead of the same button.
Also assisted blades have less play than auto knives.
This is a critical fact that alot of people overlook.
It is a neat looking knife but not one i would consider buying. Thank you for the review though
Thanks, Jeff. I just had to check one out.
@@ThriftyKaniffy you're welcome. Nothing wrong with that.
It took you 5 minutes to operate it.
To be fair it was 4:17 👌Thanks, Morton.

Thanks for watching, Giacomo.
Not for me but good review!
I appreciate it Stuart.
Maybe if I was parachuting behind the lines . . . 😎
Shhh, keep it private, Private.
@@ThriftyKaniffy Sir, Yes Sir!

Thanks KJ. Schlickt!

Not worth the weight or trouble .
Great review .👍
It is a chunky one. Thanks, Michael.

LOL. That's how it works. Definitely not a high end variety.
@200mphBrian yo lil bro. this knife cost $60-$90 depending on if it’s on sale. the knife you’re looking for is about $200-$500 lol
Not a fan of the blade not being centered, seems akward.
Yea, I can see that. Thanks, Adam.
You get what you pay for. That is junk.
It's no Microtech. Thanks, Rick.
