| This knife appears to be a tough little hombre. It's not. Pivot pin and thumb/opening pin were loose within first days of use and the spring which locks the knife open randomly failed, dangerous. Not the quality I associate with Garret Wade. |

| way below regular GW quality |
| Reviewed By: |
Leon (Brooksville, FL) |
| There were 13 items in my last order from GW. Eight made me happy. Four made me very happy. These knives (I got a pair) go right back. Reasons:
1. Too small to hold comfortably (and I wear L size gloves).
2. Too flimsy for everyday use on a farm. The blade seems to be a good quality steel but everything else is not.
3. Difficult to open with one hand. Impossible if you're wearing gloves.
4. One knife is simply broken - it folds under even very light load. The mechanism that's supposed to hold the blade open is not very solid generally and since they're very sharp (as they should be) that's an accident waiting to happen.
5. For a knife of this quality, $9.95 is way too much - you can find similar knives for a dollar something in many hardware stores.

| The slide-by |

| I call this type of knife a slide-by as you can easily slide the blade up single handedly. They are so handy and easy to close with a lock open device that does take a genus to figure out. It is also very sharp and just the right size for the pocket. 5 STARS |

| Great Gift |

| I liked this knife so much I gave out 36 of them as Christmas gifts at work. They were a big hit with both men and women and I spent less than seven bucks a pop! By the way, everyone was able to figure out how to close it. |

So...how do you close it !
Response By: Garrett Wade Tech Department
The locking mechanism is called a Liner Lock. The knife is built such that when the knife is open, it is held in place by a leaf spring which is also called a lock bar. The lock bar or leaf spring holds the bottom of the blade and prevents it from closing. When the user of the knife wants the blade to close, he or she has to press the lock bar towards the handle side of the knife. This will allow the knife to snap closed. When the knife is closed, the lock bar will rest right on the handle of the knife, and out of the way. |
