Smith & Wesson CK5TBS Bullseye Extreme Ops 4.1" 40% Serrated Black Tanto Blade

Rating: - great knife! Awesome knife nice and sharp and good for cutting.Just had a little trouble with the blade lock but other than that it's a great knife. I recommend for any body who likes being outside! Rating: - Smith & Wesson Tanto Blade The blade looks and feels as expected. The blade and handle quality are both quite good for the price. The one real gripe I have is that if the blade is opened too quickly/hard, due to the liner lock being thin, it can slip past the back of the blade between the blade and the other handle wall and get stuck. Rating: - Poorly designed locking mechanism - safety issue, pointless warranty After using the knife for a couple of weeks, I noticed that the blade can partially close even when the locking mechanism is engaged. This happens because the locking bar is pretty thin and because the blade can move a bit against the handle even when locked. Probably some of screws holding the knife together become loose. This is a very serious safety issue. In summary, the knife is poorly designed and cheaply implemented. It is too late to return the knife to the Amazon. The manufacturer's warranty is no help either - taking into account the $6.95 for the return freight and the hassle of shipping it to the manufacturer, it is cheaper to buy the knife anew (not that I would do that either). Rating: - Poor locking mechanism design, worthless warranty The knife can be partially closed even when the locking mechanism is engaged. This could happen because there is too much play in the blade position when it is opened and locked, and because the locking spring is just too thin. I am not sure if the knife I got is defective per se - it looks that the locking mechanism is poorly designed. The limited lifetime warranty is not particularly useful, because it requires the return shipping of $6.95. Adding to that the hassle of shipping the knife to the manufacturer, and given the current price of the knife (~10) it is easier to buy another knife instead of using the warranty. Rating: - perfect This product is amazing. The blade is resilient, sharp and beautifully crafted. I am very satisfied with this knife especially for the prize I paid. The sleek black color of it just adds to the beauty of this blade. Not only do all these factors contribute to how stunning this knife is, but the handling of it fits in your hand magnificently. Overall i give this knife two thumbs up and recommend it to anyone looking for a new, handy, fashionable blade. page 2 of  17  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  10  11
