Master USA MU-A001 Series Spring Assist Folding Knife, Black Blade, 4-1/2-Inch Closed

Years ago when you bought knives(unless they're top tier blades), the biggest problem was that they came dull AF, and their quality was so so. Now all the blades I buy, tend to come standard hair shaving sharp.5 star for the function to cost rating: it fully locks into place with the assist. And comes with your standard locking mechanism for these type of pocket knives. And it came razor sharp.Quality: is a little sus. The handle feels like a styrofoam/plastic blend of material and in terms of weight, make this feel light as a feather, but feels like it can break easily under stress.I used locktite on all the screws so they dont loosen as a precautionary measure. The clip hangs on the knife at an angle so if you clip it to your belt or pants, it wont be hanging straight. At 5 dollars though, you can toss it around and not give AF if it breaks or goes missing. Planning to get a few extra as an EDC.

The media could not be loaded. This knife seems to open easy and lock nice has a seatbelt cutter and a glass breaker the design feels really cool it has like a bumpy textured feel to it the belt clip is at an interesting angle but it doesn't feel weird in the hand or anything...

The media could not be loaded. Looks like the picture! It comes with a thing to smash a window and a thing to cut a seatbelt!

This knife is no CRKT.. But it does have a cool finish, a grip that has some decent texturing for a good purchase, seat belt cutter, window smasher, and a stainless steel black blade.The color is more of a earth yellow/green than straight tan. The pattern is pretty high res and doesn’t look cheesy.The housing of the knife seems like if it got caught in metal it could bend/break under pressure just based on how light the knife’s weight is. But overall it’s pretty solidI do love the assisted opening which is fast (even faster with a little gun oil on the joint) and for this price I would easily buy it again.My one piece of advice if you are actually using this for outdoors/working environments is get a knife with a serrated blade for cutting rope, fire starter. I had trouble cutting a rope of fire starter with this straight blade and instantly missed my CRKT while trying to get a fire going on a camping trip..

I was expecting the knife to be smaller but it’s actually quite large. The blade feels heavy duty and the handle does feel sort of lightweight. It has a window breaker and a seatbelt cutter.

It comes in it own box. I know not really important But with the holidays coming its important when you have to wrap it

I got a handful of Master USA knives 7 years ago all together for $20. Pretty good deal for amateur knife collector. They’re good knock around knives( not to get tore up if you lose them, roll the edge, chink the blade or if the corrugated scales break). Good enough for utility if you maintain the factory edge but if you want a scalpel edge then it’s a five stroke, resharpen kind of blade. I wouldn’t bet my life on them but if I had to I’d roll the dice in a survival situation.This is an instance where you get what you pay for but for less than $10 there’s not a lot to argue

I have bought almost 10 different knives from this company, and I have never been disappointed. There was one that came with a manufacture defect but resolved the issue swiftly. I Definitely recommend this Brand/company entirely on the high quality Materiels used for the price. If you need something cheap to do the job that you don't want to use your favorite knife for, then this is the right place to look. Traveling, grab one of these that you don't mind losing!MASTER USA Thank you; I look forward to our future business.
