Trident at Ambidextrous Professional Partially Serrated Folding Knife | Heat-Treated CRYO D2 Stainless Steel Blade, Black/Red

Well, first off, I ordered this on Saturday, and it was here on Monday, which blew me away. Secondly, you'll want to leave the belt clip on the side of the knife on which it comes. After switching my clip to the other side, I quickly learned why they put it on the side it came on. I was trying and trying to push the knife via clip into my front pocket, and it just would not go. I thought the clip was too tight, but that was not the problem. Suddenly, my pocket had a 6 inch cut down the side, and I realized that the belt cutter slot was getting caught on my pants pocket instead of the clip. So, I ruined a pair of my shorts. My fault, but I wish they had not made it where you could switch sides now. Anyway, the knife is excellent. Super sharp, assisted opening works well, and the lock up and lock itself are super tight. I really like the red on black color scheme as well, and the built-in belt cutter is really slick the way they built it into the handle using the blade of the knife instead of a separate razor blade in the handle. One last thing...do NOT forget to lock the blade shut when you close the knife. I forgot once and was messing around with it and the blade lifted slightly out of the handle and stabbed me in the thumb. It's quite sharp.

Looks good, well done and sturdy, let's see how it holds up with daily use. I will update my review after a while..

Great knife. They weren’t lying about the high texture. Gets stuck on any synthetic pant or shorts. No issues on thick cloth, like jean or duck material.

Like the locking system. Blade stays sharp for a significant time. Grip texture is very aggressive. It feels like it sticking to my clothing. Cool seat belt cutter design.

The design of the seatbelt cutter is ingenious. The "glass-breaker" is a tiny blob of metal, what almost looks like a dollop of solder, not wider in diameter than a peppercorn. It's a joke. For this what feels like false advertising, I give three stars, when otherwise I would have given four. From the photos, I inferred that the glass breaker was meant to be the end of the lanyard loop, but this is not the case. They could have instead have made the lanyard loop come to a dull point, and made this the glass breaker instead. An additional issue with the lanyard loop is that it sticks out far higher than makes any conceivable sense, increasing the profile of the knife and the length of it, without any corresponding enhancement to ergonomics or blade length. The choice of steel is questionable, as it is a cheap, low quality steel, and can corrode (some high quality steels are nonstainless but have other benefits, this one is not one of those steels). But the application of a small amount of oil to the knife in a thin layer apparently can forestall rust effectively, or so I hear. The lock and automatic opening is not something I prefer, but is OK. Really, a simple flipper with no safety and no assisted opening (the assisted opening is probably what necessitated the inclusion of a safety in the first place), is a much more logical design for the intended use case of a rescue situation/escape from a auto collision. But the seatbelt cutter being part of the blade (or rather, simply *being* the blade itself) is the most brilliant part of the design. The advantage being, that there is no seatbelt cutter to intrude on the handle when the knife is open, and the seatbelt cutter is sharpened alongside the main blade. This attracted me to this knife. There are no other knives on the market that behave this way, which is very surprising, given how logical this design is. The blade length is also very pragmatic -- not too short, not too long.
