COMMENT:
When I read the Product Descriptions and Reviews of knives being sold here on Amazon, a lot of times it makes me laugh because they are so full of misinformation. I guess this is because the sellers and reviewers are not knife dealers and don't know that much about knives in general. But hey, that's ok, because everybody is entitled to their opinion. When rating a knife, I don't try to compare a $10.00 knife with a $100.00 knife. This is a good knife for the money and is all metal construction with aluminum handles. I found this knife was sharp enough to slice strips off of a sheet of paper.
DESCRIPTION:
Mtech Tactical style linerlock pocket folder
Model # MT-378
Import
DETAILS:
This is a linerlock folding knife. 4 1/2" closed. 3 1/4" stainless steel, plain edge tanto blade, with dual thumb studs open and a black finish. There is blade detent in the closed position. Black anodized aluminum handles with a brushed texture, and dual stainless steel liners. The handle has small and large grooves in various places for grip. This knife features a post / spacer open back design. Blade tension adjustment screw is spanner. Black stainless steel pocket clip that is folded for deep pocket carry. Length open is 7 3/4" & weight is 4.6 oz.
I purchased this knife to use at work and I am very impressed with the quality. very cheap compared to most other knives that I looked at. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a reliable yet affordable tool.
My knife was delivered VERY quickly, and functions near perfect. The only problem is, the screws holding the handle together have become loose, and one has fallen out. This was fixed with a small screwdriver but could pose problems for other customers.
this knife is great, especially for the price. it is a relatively simple design, yet it holds up nicely. i really like the tanto style blade. as others have stated in their reviews, it is a good idea to get some locktite or oil the screws.
I own two of these knives and both have fallen apart within 2 months of purchase. The knife has a good weight, the blade is sharp, and it looks cool. But the screw system used to hold the blade in (spanner) is terrible. The screw comes loose after a few times of opening and closing the blade and most people won't have the specialty tool required to tighten it. Save the hassle and avoid this knife and spend a little more to get something that won't fall apart during normal use.
Razor sharp out of the box, good weight and balance, opens really quick. Basically, if you have 10 bucks and you could do to have a knife, BUY THIS ONE! If I didn't know better, I'd compare it to Gerber, etc.
I was going to purchase a more expensive knife, but didn't need anything fancy and figured I'd try cheap and expendable first. This has actually held up far better than expected for the price and the abuse I've put it through in Iraq. The simple liner lock and thumb stud opening work well and feel solid. The blade arrives a bit rough though and I would highly suggest sharpening it out of the box. Other than that, buy two as you won't be disappointed.
Update: 31 October
I reached for this knife the other day and it literally fell apart in my hands. The screws holding it together vanished and I wound up tossing the remnants. Additionally, over the preceding month the blade would continuously become wobbly due to the screw holding it together coming loose. I'm not sure what tool would be used to tighten this - I used another knife myself. If you have the proper tools, I'd suggest taking it apart and using some lock-tight as others have recommended. It's just more than I care to deal with for a cheap knife and I'll order from a quality brand next time around. Still, all in all it isn't a bad deal for the money. - Knife - Folding Knife - Sharp - Folding Knives'
