Great quality x price
I bought three of these. I can’t believe the price x quality.This knife is very solid. The size is perfect, it locks easily, feels good in your hands, takes up very little space in your pocket. It feels like it’s worth a lot more than advertised.I am also surprised how well the sharpness has held up. I use this knife everyday.

A blade with a special place in my heart.
First off I’d like to say that this knife has a special place in my heart as it was the first pocket knife my dad gave me when I turned 10yo so I might be a little bias. With that out of the way it’s a damn good folding knife. It’s a perfect size for a EDC that not too out there like if I take it out at work people aren’t like damn that’s a big knife. It feels good in that hand and is well balanced. Personally in my opinion Smith & Weston make quality products and in the 25 years of using them they have never failed on me. I like that it has a good weight to it and has a locking bar that keeps it in place when opened. As for it functionality it’s good for opening up packages and mail. I also use this to break down cardboard as the blade can hold an edge really well. It will hold up against any common or mundane task you can throw at it. While I lost the original one I’m happy to re-add this one to my collection. I also bought a couple more as back ups and hopefully to give to my sons and daughters when the time is right and I’m sure it will serve them as well as it has served me over the years. I do with the knife was a bit cheaper but what’s cheap nowadays? I’d recommend buying this knife. I hope this was helpful to you and provides the necessary information you need to buy or pass on this.

Good Little Knife
I lost my old everyday knife and needed a replacement, and this one fits the bill. Both parts of the blade are very sharp and cut well. I like that it’s all metal, too. The only negative is it doesn’t flick open like my old one, but still happy with this inexpensive knife with a good blade.

Solid and well-built for the money, sharp though a bit heavy. Should last a long time.
Got it this morning, this review is at the $18 price point. It feels solid and well made. I can operate it one handed which is a primary consideration. It is sharp out of the box, the secondary consideration. Time will tell if it holds an edge, which is the third consideration but I suspect it will. This is a heavy knife, my biggest concern. I don’t think this is an everyday carry because of that but it could be for you. I just don’t like to feel it in my pocket. At the same time I bought a knife cost twice as much and weighs half, that is going to be my EDC. This one is going in my top drawer where I have lost many a knife to my kids. Perfect for that. I would say if you intend to EDC, spend the extra.This is a smaller size, certainly in my hand but still feels good. There is no wiggle in the blade when it is open and that is important too.One review said the thumb nub sticks out past the side of the knife making it catch when clipping it on. It does but I am not certain that will be a problem if I did EDC this. Since it is going in my desk top drawer, it won’t be a problem. Since it has the index finger nub on the back for opening I don’t think it even needs the thumb nub. Were I S&W I would remove it.@ $18 I would not hesitate to purchase again when I need another.

High quality
After loosing numerous knifes that were 5 times the price of this knife I decided to try this one out and was very impressed by the quality and compact design. Although it is slightly thicker then the knives that I preferred in the past I find it more obvious in my pocket and hopefully less likely to be lost.

Great design, great price for a nice knife!
Hubby liked the only Smith & Wesson I could get him… lol. Yes he’d prefer a gun over a knife! He uses this to open boxes, etc., it’s very sharp! He seems to use this over all his others. It turned out to be a nice little gag gift, that’s for sure!

Nice EDC knife, but don’t expect it’s indestructible.
I’d been telling myself that I was going to buy a pocket knife for years, but somehow never really got around to it. I would start to look, but the sheer number and styles available out there frankly intimidated me. I always ended up getting “analysis paralysis” when trying to choose and gave up. One day, I happened to see this knife on sale for around $10 and, as I have long trusted Smith & Wesson as a reliable brand, I figured it was worth a shot. If it didn’t fit my needs, then I would only be out a few bucks; no big loss.I will mention that I was also undecided on whether to choose a manual/thumb-assisted or a spring-assisted opening knife. When this caught my eye, it came to be that a manual/thumb-assisted opener was going to be my first. (Note: I actually ended up getting both– read below.)I received the knife and I was pleased with the weight and construction. It fits nicely in the hand and locks solidly. I felt that it would suit my everyday cutting tasks just fine.Know that when you first get this, it will need to be broken in like many folding knives. Not being used to opening a knife with a thumb stud, it was a little difficult for me at first because the hinge was tight. Again, this could be expected of a brand new knife.After some practice, I finally broke it in– but it did take some 100-200 open/closes to get it nice and smooth (or to be able to “flick” it open with a snap of the wrist). While breaking it in, you will have to use the finger/thumb flipper (the part on the backside that you press downwards on with your thumb to push the blade out of the handle) then use your other hand to fully open it– or use the thumb stud, if you’re able to. For those that may still be new to knives or for those wondering: there is no spring-assisted mechanism on this knife at all– the blade will not fully open using only the flipper. It is fully manual and you will have to push/slide it open with your finger(s).Once you get it nice and broken in, you will be able to use the thumb stud to swing it open (this still does not feel natural or smooth to me, and I personally never use the studs). I think many would opt for the easiest and quickest way to deploy this knife, which is with a quick snap of the wrist. To me, this is far more convenient than using your thumb to slide it out. Of course, this isn’t the safe or recommended way to open a knife, and there are obviously situations where you would obviously not want to do this.I have been using the knife for a few months now, and I have found a few weaknesses:A couple of weeks into using it, I was in the garage working on something and I lost my grip. It fell on the ground. The drop was not far or hard– just a normal drop from about waist high– but it damaged the knife. It landed on smooth concrete (garage floor) but it was enough to scuff/chip the paint off in several places, it broke the thumb stud and it even bent the tip of the knife a bit. It fell parallel to the floor, so it didn’t land on the blade.What I mean by “it broke the thumb stud” is that it came loose– and what I mean by that is that the thumb stud(s) are not soldered to the blade, which was unexpected. It is more so like a barbell threaded through a hole in the blade, rather being part of the blade itself.It now spins when you touch it, and it rattles because it is slightly loose which is really annoying. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still usable… but since it spins, the stud isn’t as solid. I hope what I said there makes sense. (Update: I got really tired of this and was able to fix it. If this happens to you, use pliers to squeeze the sides of the thumb studs together, as in a vice or press. Be sure to use a rag or padding or the paint will scrape off the studs.)I was also disappointed the blade bent like it did from such a short-distance side impact. What that says about the strength of the blade may not be favorable.Know that the paint on the handle is quite easily chipped and scuffed, so don’t think it will be pretty forever. We’re not worried about fashion here, though. It’s a tool, and when you use tools they get wear and tear– so that’s not a picking point really… but I do wish the finish on the handle was better. (Tip: Use a black permanent marker to pretty it up and cover scratches and dings in the finish.) To my surprise, the oxide finish on the blade still looks good, it has not scuffed or scratched thus far (in my use) and it is easily sharpened.I realize that this damage was a result of my own actions, but I also think it’s also important to appreciate that most everyone drops their pocket knife from time to time. This is not particularly “unusual” wear and tear for daily use.I also want to note that after this I also bought a very similar S&W tactical pocket knife that is spring assisted. I found the grip on that knife to be very uncomfortable, like rough sandpaper– and I really didn’t like that. It also deploys the blade with such violent force that it feels dangerous. Due to that, I ended up actually preferring and using this manual opening version over that one for my EDC. I say all that for anyone who is going back and forth on which of the two to get like I was.Regardless– even with the loose thumb screw, bent blade tip and the chipped/scuffed finish, it still works great for simple common tasks like opening packages, cutting string, etc… whatever we all use our EDC’s for.Overall, it’s a very decent knife for the price. If I wanted something that would last years and years I might find a bit higher quality knife, but for everyday tasks this one will surely suffice.If you’re looking for a light, simple EDC, I can recommend this one. Just don’t expect it to be there with you sipping piña coladas on the beach after retirement. It will last you long enough though, and for the price, it is as good as or better than I had expected and I’m happy with my purchase.(Final note: I ended up buying several different pocket knives over the next several months and with many disappointments, I found “the one” for me: Kershaw Brawler Folding Pocket Knife (1990). This is my sweetheart. The handle is made of much better material, it feels more solid and the spring-assisted opening is as smooth as butter. I recommend that you spend an extra $10-15 and go for that one. In my opinion, you will be much happier with the Kershaw. It is very similar in specs to this one and it is my new EDC, replacing this one. Still, for those that don’t want to spend that much, this knife is still reliable and quite a bargain.)

Pocket-size sidekick — sharp enough to cut rope, smooth enough to pocket-slide.
I snagged this little folder on a whim — and it quickly earned a spot clipped to my jeans until I lose it or annoy the TSA. The blade feels sturdy and snappy enough: 3.1″ stainless steel with serrations that had no trouble slicing paracord and cardboard alike. The handle is light, comfortable, and easy to grip — I liked how it didn’t feel like I was brandishing a weapon, just a handy tool. The liner-lock seems solid, and the thumb studs + finger-flipper make one-handed opening feel natural (yes, I tested it like a gadget-loving klutz).If you want a no-fuss, budget-friendly pocket knife for everyday cutting tasks (camp box rope, opening boxes, trimming stray cords), this hits the sweet spot. It’s not going to replace a high-end EDC or bushcraft knife — but for under $20, it’s got the “does what I thoughtlessly asked it to do” vibe that I appreciate.
