Assassin Titanium Folding Knife Outdoor, Quick Opening Pocket Knife with Sandvik 14C28N Blade and G10 Handle with Secure Locking, 3.9oz 0.75'' Camping (satin+black)

The media could not be loaded. Initial thoughts:1. I actually wanted the blue-gray G10 handles with the titanium finish and got the black/ satin by mistake. I’m not sure I feel like messing around returning this and ordering the right one. I like satin blade finishes better anyway because they don’t show scratches or scuffs when you sharpen them, whereas I’ve sharpened knives with a coating with one of those electric sharpeners (don’t recommend necessarily) and they get all wonky-looking. Just wish I had ordered the blue/ gray handle, because I don’t like the “tacticool” look of black stuff that much.2. It flicks out smoothly and locks up solid. No complaints there.3. One thing I wasn’t sure about was the takeup on the closing. At first, I was worried that a little pressure on the flipper was going to slowly open it on accident so it could either get hooked into your pocket or leave an edge to slice a thumb. The bearing is super smooth and had me worried it wasn’t “safe” but after carrying it a few days, it seems like it’s stiff enough to need intentional deployment.4. I really love G10 material. This is my second knife with it and it’s just got a perfect balance of sturdiness and “grippiness.”5. Thing is sharp AF from factory. I wish I could sharpen all my knives this well.6. I really like the way it rides in my pocket. It’s slim enough that it doesn’t take up much real estate or feel like I’m gonna catch my hand on it all the time digging stuff out of the bottom of my pocket.TL;DR: 9/10 from me. Wish it was blue, but it feels like a solid performer for $42 (at time of writing).Time will tell how it holds up.

I am very impressed with the quality and design of this knife. Usually, I prefer US brands like Buck, Benchmade, Spyderco, and some others but this is the only unique product in my collection. It is well centered, bigger size, sleek, smooth operation of the ceramic ball bearing. It is lightweight but well balanced for any task even for self-defence. I prefer it a good EDC as well. The pocket clip is very well designed and just right.I also asked them what is the bevel angle and they told me it is 25 degrees. I prefer 20 degrees but it is fine because it is very sharp out of the box. I highly recommend this brand and type. The price is also reasonable but it should be about $30+. So far I am very happy with this product.The only drawback is that if I need a resharpening service then it is not possible because the company is overseas and it will be difficult to do so but surprisingly they offer this service as well and also any replacement.It has been a while now but the quality is superb. I just bought their Maverick because of a good performance of Assassin. Again I highly recommend Harnds products. Good job Harnds and all the best!!!.

I had been looking at the Benchmade Arcane 490, but I every one I looked at had an off center blade, and I could not justify the cost. I saw this one, which had good reviews, and at about twice what tax would have cost on the Arcane, I figured I would take a chance. It arrived today, and I have to say I got more than I expected. Sure, it does not have the S90V steel of the Arcane, but it makes the same sound when opening, and locks up very nicely. The fit and finish are out of this world for a knife at this price point, and blade centering is as good as it gets. I appreciate knives from CRKT and Kershaw all the way to up to Microtech, as long as they are well built. I'm glad I took a chance on this one because it is probably the best looking and functioning budget knife I have ever bought, and it does not look like a budget knife at all. Maybe time will reveal some shortcomings, but so far, this one is a winner all day long!

Body and blade look good. Smooth action and well put together. Only disappointment is the finish on the clip looks like it has a fingerprint or smudge on the outside that is permanently in the coating. Emailed customer service and got a reply in a couple of days. Was told it is an unavoidable defect from production but they have done a decent job of making sure their customer is happy. All and all a great knife to carry.

It would cost a lot of money to get a higher quality knife than this one.I just went through a binge phase of buying knives, and of the dozen or so that I now own... this is my favorite. Great steel for the price, absolutely amazing action, and detailed to near perfection. It's quite sharp out of the box, the blade is perfectly centered, and has a good lockup. After adjusting the pivot screw a tiny bit, it's nearly impossible to not flip it, smoothly falls shut with a gentle shake, and has zero blade play. It's seriously incredible-- there is not a sharp edge on this knife where there shouldn't be, pocket clip seems to be good quality, and there are only two screws to disassemble it.The only problem is that I now want all four color variants that they're currently offering.I am incredibly impressed by this knife at this price point. You will not regret purchasing it!

I ordered a blue and gray one. It arrived in perfect condition. Perfectly centered, 100% of the lock makes contact, zero rock or wiggle. Fit and finish is perfect, coated steel looks awesome in matte gray with the blue G10 scales. Almost too pretty to use but you know... it’s gonna get used. Nice slender shape is very svelte in the pocket. The action is fast, with good force needed to overcome the detent, and the blade just falls closed. Now I can’t decide between my Ganzo FH13-SS and this as Sexiest Budget Knife Ever... Nice length on the blade and handle, I wear large gloves and there is room to spare on the grips for me. Wow. Very nicely done. I will update if it explodes and creates a dimensional vortex of my first world problems.
