Spring Assisted Heavy Duty Pocket Knife for Men - 3.5" Tanto Sharp Blade - Folding Tactical Self Defense Japanese Knives with Portable Clip - for Hunting Camping Military Survival Work EDC 6688

For $10.00 I find this knife a great buy. The knife is solid at good weight. The blade is thick and solid. It comes with a rope attached. There is a belt clip that needs to be attached. The tool to do so comes with the knife. The spring action allows the blade to open and close smoothly. I have had Buck knifes that did not work as well as this knife. My only complaint is the knife arrived somewhat dull. After I sharpen it I will have a very nice pocket knife.

Great Budget Tactical Knife - Surprisingly Robust and Reliable I bought this knife on Amazon and honestly, for the price I didn’t expect much. It’s a bit on the heavy side, but once you hold it in your hand you realize why. The design is really good looking. It feels solid and robust, and you can tell it’s built to handle tough jobs. The assisted opening system works perfectly - it opens very easily with one hand. The lock is also excellent. It feels very secure and gives me confidence when using it for heavier cutting tasks. What surprised me the most is the quality for the cost. This knife feels ready for anything: field work, farm work, camping, and general hard use. It’s not a delicate pocket knife. It’s a work tool that looks great and performs even better. Overall, if you need an affordable, strong, and good-looking knife that can take abuse, this is it. Highly recommended. Rating: 5/5

Overall I like the knife - thought it is a bit on the large side and I think may have scared one or two of my customers when I flicked it out. The operation is quite smooth, the lock up is superb. Edge retention has been quite good and I don't hold back when I use a knife - I will use it till it is used up, to me it is a tool. The handle material could be a bit more durable, you can see the nicks and scratches in it from only a week of riding in my pocket (and falling out of my pocket down to the seat track of my truck). They do provide a lanyard, which I removed, personal preference, and a belt clip, also removed due to personal preference. Originally I left the screws in for the clip, but they were digging in to my thigh while riding in my pocket so I removed them. It is worth noting they only provide for mounting the clip on one side, so if it is not the one that works for you.... then you are SOL. The blade came with a nice edge, and is easy to touch up on a stop or stone if you have been particularly rough on it. The spring assist mechanism works well and as you can see in the video, it can be opened and closed one handed quite readily. I know the closing looks a bit slow, but I was looking through the camera and trying not to cut my finger off, so I took my time. By the way - locking is accomplished via a liner lock system and an ample perch for your thumb is provided so you don't have to try and jam your thumb in between the liners. For the price, this is a very good knife, and I would certainly purchase another - though I would consider putting a different handle material on it. I work with horn and bone, so I might re-grip with one of those materials.

Looks like someone bought up the design for my everyday carry from Tactical Legion. (R.I.P.) From what I can tell, the blade itself is the same part or very close to it. If you're familiar with the old Tactical Legion design, this updated design has a few major differences: - The assisted opening switch is now sprint-assisted. I don't feel this adds much; I prefer the old one. The old design opened quite well on the hinge alone; it was also easier to close with one hand, whereas the spring now resists closing a little. The spring-assist may also break the law in some places that the switch and hinge alone wouldn't. Grand Way: Consider manufacturing a line of these without the spring. The non-spring style has its own appeal, and it's one less part to pay for. (Note: The spring seems like it may be behind some of the little creaks and clicks I'm hearing when I open the knife, but I can't say for sure, and that all may go away when the knife is worn in.) - There's now a thumb tab on the blade. I could take or leave it. The flip switch makes it irrelevant, but it doesn't get in the way either. - It doesn't come with a sheath. I never cared because I clip it on my belt, but maybe you care. - IT COSTS LESS THAN HALF AS MUCH! What a deal for $10. It also has a few small adjustments: - Knife uses a few slightly different parts for the body, including screws (still need the star tool), grip pieces, and clip. Still quite similar overall. - Grip uses a slightly different type of metal and is a bit more contoured and less boxy. - Stippling on the grip is a little finer and seems to be made of a slightly lighter material. - Endcaps on the grip feel slightly lighter. - Blade doesn't have that little 2 or 3 mm of give when closed. Down to like 0.5 mm. Overall, this is a very solid value for the price. The balance is very similar, i.e., very good, if you're the type who plays with knives and needs them to be balanced. I paid $20+ each for all three of the old Tactical Legion knives I got through over the years. Out of the box, I do prefer the old one, but only by a little. This one is very good. We'll see how the Grand Way version compares over the long run, but you can't argue with $10 for this.

I’ve only had this Spring assisted heavy-duty pocket knife for one day, but first impressions are very strong. It feels well made, solid in the hand, sharp out of the box, and the assisted opening is smooth. For around ten bucks, this feels like a much better value than I expected. **What I Liked** Honestly, I liked pretty much everything about it. The knife feels sturdy and not cheap, which is always a pleasant surprise at this price point. The 3.5-inch tanto blade came sharp, and the assisted opening works smoothly without feeling loose or clunky. It has a solid, dependable feel that makes it seem like it should cost more than it does. **What Could Be Improved** So far, I do not have any real complaints. The only issue is that after trying it, I kind of wish I had bought more than one. Since I’ve only used it for a day, I can’t speak to long-term durability yet, but the first impression is definitely better than expected. **Final Verdict** I would recommend this to anyone looking for an affordable folding pocket knife that feels solid, opens smoothly, and offers excellent value. It is best for someone who wants a practical everyday knife without spending premium-brand money. For the price, this little blade punches way above its weight class.

It's a shame, this is so close to being a good knife, however, the core of the handle is just plastic with the metal hardware attached. It's not exactly flimsy, but you can feel it bow a bit when grabbing it tightly. There's no way this thing would hold up to heavy use as a tool, there's just too much give. That said, it's designed as a combat knife, and its one of the more decent designs I've seen for a folding combat knife. It's technically a spear point tanto with fuller and spring assist, a pretty hard combo to find. The blade is not particularly sharp...like at all, but there's plenty of material to sharpen with its heavy, thick blade and hardware. I don't know why they'd make all the metal hardware so hefty and strong just to give it such an obvious failure point in the handle. If you just want something to keep in the house or car "just in case"...well a knife is a terrible idea for that anyway but if you still want one this is fine. As a weapon of last resort or a tool for fieldcraft, get something else.

Great knife, bulky and heavy duty. A great sharp response when opening

Really impressed with this knife. It has a solid, well‑built feel and the action is smooth right out of the box. The blade came sharp and the overall quality is much better than I expected at this price point. I ended up ordering a second one because it’s that good.

Looks like good quality,great value , very happy with purchase.

The knife looks great and performs well when cutting vegetables, offering sharpness and precision. However, I haven’t tried it on cutting pork bone yet. One downside I noticed is that the blade wasn’t ground symmetrically – one side is noticeably thicker than the other, and the angles are uneven. This could affect its overall cutting performance, especially for tougher tasks. Despite this, the knife’s sharpness and design are still impressive for general kitchen use.

The knife is so sharp and exactly looks like the picture. My husband was really happy seeing this.

It's a serviceable Cleaver that is very well behaved inside of its scabbard. Not expensive or fancy. It's just useful.

Was expecting standard size knife. This was too big and not what I was expecting. Fooled by pic of the size.
