I honestly didn’t expect this much knife for the price. AUS 8 blade steel is far from my first choice, but it isn’t the worst possible steel they could of used, and it’s probably the only reason they can sell it at this price. I mean this knife is built very well. Definitely Paramilitary 2-ish, not quite that good but pretty darn good. After a few practice tries with the assisted opener, it’ll start to loosen up, and man it hits pretty hard. Quite snappy indeed. And mine came with the blade centred perfectly which really surprised me, did not expect that. Very solid knife. If I had to come up with a con the only one I have is the black blade coating, absolute garbage. Started coming off after the first swipe through a piece of cardboard. I really don’t care about that though, I bought it to use and I’m sure it’ll look much worse when I’m done with it. This one is a user, not a safe queen lol
