Highlights

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Quality

The scales provide great texture for the grip and feel extremely sturdy.

The knife is well-made and built like a tank.

Last 4 i bought had all sorts of issues, uneven grinds, up and down blade play, getting a used one sold as a new, etc.

The triad lock is rock solid and no doubt my other folding knives would fail way before this one broke.

Price

The $40 price range also helps make this knife a genuine bargain.

I recommend this blade as long as the price is reasonable.

Great value for the money, the lock up is tight.

Overall for this price i doubt you can get a more durable knife with quality steel outside of another cold steel.

Shipping

But, the pocket clip shipped with the knife is not reversible despite the description on amazon.

As i am left-handed, i contacted cold steel customer service and requested a clip designed for left-handed carry.

Packaging/appearance

(left handed carry) check the packaging better because it comes with a left hand pocket clip in the box.

Competitiveness

See photos comparing it to the much larger 4 max scout.

Again, there are some knives that may be marginally better in some properties but you'll pay many times the cost of the aus10a steel.
