Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

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

Pros

It has lots of belly and is very utilitarian. The size is perfect to share a pocket with a phone or keys, and looping 550 cord through the back makes the knife easy to draw.

The scales have excellent traction. Grip is amazing and its super sharp. The steal is great, but a bit too soft for me.

The tanto blade is great for every day use, but to easy to sharpen. The aus 8 steel comes really sharp and the tanto style design works very well for almost any task. This has the razor sharpness and quality of the recon 1, but is scaled down.

The only real downside is that the super grippy g10 makes the belt clip a pain to get on and off. My only gripe as of now is the pocket clip is very stiff, other than that, great knife.

Cons

Hate the black coating so stripping the blade is a must. The rusted thumb stud is a real bummer. Firstly, the knife is dull.

Great knife the fit and finish is outstanding

Love it its a awesome knife and made by the best out there so buy it buy it buy it

It is bigger than i thought it would be, i purchased this after getting the smaller version which i kept misplacing and is now ... Read More

The teflon crap can be scraped off with a penny in about 3minutes, without scratching the blade, to reveal a good looking stonewash.

Price

Good solid knife for a good price.

But, for the price it is a great value.

If you want value i recommend kershaw.

Shipping

Super fast shipping from the seller and great customer service.

Competitiveness

And this g10 stays grippy infinately longer than the finer spyderco or emerson stuff which wears smooth after about a year of use.
