Spring Assisted Open SAWBACK BOWIE Tactical Rescue Pocket Knife EDC (Basic pack)

This is probably the best knife I have ever gotten from amazon it's sturdy assisted opening and fairly sharp out of the box plus it's got a fairly large blade making it practical for just about anything you need it for

Good knife

I'm a knife guy. I love pocket knives. I've got about a hundred of them. I've spent a little and I've spent a lot for a nice pocket knife. I figured I had nothing to lose buying this knife since A) Its returnable, and B) It's the price of a throwaway knife. This thing is worth every penny and then some. I'm guessing that all the people who complain about it being hard to open and hard to close have never owned a flipper style knife with a liner lock. Or they just have delicate fingertips. My EDC knife was about 200 bucks a few years ago, is an all titanium flipper, with a liner lock, and has a ceramic pivot bearing, so that's my yardstick by which I measure other knives. As far as ease and speed of opening and closing, this $10 knife is absolutely on par. It has a nice, attractive, razor sharp blade. The knife has a remarkably solid feel to it, whether the blade is retracted or deployed. I would have greatly preferred if the belt clip went in the other direction, but I knew it was like this before I bought it. I dinged it one star for two reasons. First reason is that although the handle feels solid, it sorely lacks texture and is just a little too slippery for getting a good solid purchase on it. I might try either a wire wheel or bead blaster to roughen it up a bit. Second reason is that the "saw back" portion of the blade makes it difficult to draw from your pocket without those teeth catching the inside of your pocket. You have to consciously twist it just a little as you draw it, so it doesn't get caught inside your pocket. But I didn't buy this knife to use all day every day. I bought it to be a good, rugged, beater, work knife. At this price point, totally worth it.

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite knives. In fact, the brand Tac-Force is has many high end knives at a ridiculously low cost. I have knives I paid over a hundred for that now stay at home while my tac force knives go with me everywhere. I have one for work, casual, defense....well I have enough lol. Anyway, this knife is very well made with a "tight" feel. No play at all. The assisted open is excellent, and the blade lock is also fantastic. I personally think this knife looks awesome. Good mix of black and aluminum. They come very sharp too. Honestly I have nothing bad to say, and that's very hard to do. Good job tac-force, keep making these knives because you are doing it right!

I think this is a great knife for the price. I was expecting a lower quality knife. I only spent around $11 for a high quality knife. I can't believe the workmanship that they put into it for this unbelievable price. I am a hunter and fisherman and I buy high-quality knives for certain things. I bought this knife because it has the tip at the end that will break glass. Also you can cut through a seatbelt. Then you have a blade that you can cut things with. What more do you want for that little price. This is what I'm saying if you want a high-quality knife with a Highly rated warranty then spend more money. Some of these reviews I read just like I said sometimes you don't know what you're doing. I am crazy about my knife I'm gonna buy another one soon.

It's $10.95, I expected the handle to be plastic. It's actually aluminum. The blade is thick steel, so are all the screws and small parts.I had to get a replacement for the first one I bought because of the locking mechanism problem others speak of. The new one doesn't have that problem and locks into place nicely.The only problem I see with this knife, that I noticed when I disassembled my first one in an attempt to file down the locking mechanism so it could slide over just a bit more and lock the blade securley, was that when you screw the screws back in you must be very careful (especially on the large screw holding the blade in place) to not over torque screws, or else the aluminum handle will be ground away and the screw will have nothing to hold onto, or at the least will shave off some of the aluminum and weaken the overall structure holding it all together.But that's the only problem I found. It's sharp, sturdy and good looking.I'm going to clip this one under my dash in my truck somewhere for the purpose it's intended for and hope I never need to use it.

I picked up this gem based on a search for "big pocket knife" - I was looking for biggest wow-factor for cost and this knife did not disappoint.Pros:* Very low cost* Impressive to look atCons:* Assisted open spring isn't very strong (can be opened one-handed with a flick of the wrist but just using the flipper tab will only get the blade 50% of the way open)* The liner lock is terrible (you have to open it forcefully to get the blade to lock securely)* The serrations are not really useable (very pointy and more likely to grab what you're cutting than slice it)* Opening flipper tab takes a fair amount of force to openIf you're just looking to impress your buddies who have no knife experience, this knife is great. If you're looking for an actual tool you can use day to day, there are plenty knives out there that aren't a lot more expensive with a lot higher quality: the Opinel line, the Ontario Rat I, CRKT, Kershaw, and more.

For the price, this knife is great! Love the size, and the spring assist pops the blade out quickly and with ease.
