I bought one of these to try out. I figured that at the cost, how bad could it be as a utility folder. I opened the box and was SHOCKED at how strongly built this sucker is! Cold Steel has a solid reputation as building very strong knives and I have owned some of their folders in the past. But this knife is ALMOST as strong as a fixed blade. You would REALLY have to work at it to get their unique locking mechanism to fail. Frankly, I'm not sure how you'd do it. I discovered that the pull string at the end is there for a good reason and also doubles as an aid in drawing it out from a pocket. Sharp, stupid strong and much thinner than I thought it would be. It easily slips into the top of a cowboy boot, pants pocket, backpack or what have you. The retainer clip is pretty strong as well. I have no worries clipping it to any of my training bags. I'm up to owning 5 of these guys. My only regret is that they don't make it in a slightly smaller package as an option. As is, it can occupy a lot of pocket space if you're not used to it.Read full review

For the price, this is an excellent product. The closing mechanism is different and the user has to be aware of that and use caution. Once you get use to it, it's a breeze.
