Tac Force Tactical Assisted Opening Folding Knife - TF-723PC

Bought four knives on Prime Day. The two Tac-Force are the only ones that snap open as delivered! The S&W and Good Worker only Pop out half way.

I got a decent one in this crapshoot that is 'buying cheap knives'. For the price, it seems like the best value on Amazon at this time. It definitely seems sturdy and durable. All machined metal, no cheapo plastic parts. Feels nice in the hand. Knife blade is decently sharp out of the box. I wish the tip was a little sharper for box cutting duty, but the long surface of the blade is adequately sharp and it's good enough overall. I didn't buy it for the seat belt cutter or window punch so I didn't test those functions. Seems like the window punch would probably do its job FWIW.The only minor issue I had with mine is that the lock mechanism that keeps the blade out is unusually difficult to disengage when you want to close the knife. It'll make your thumb sore if you're opening and closing it a lot. Again, at this price point I'm not mad or even surprised and this may be more of a quality control issue as I've seen other reviews where the knife was too tight and wouldn't snap open, but mine moves smoothly in that regard. So this probably only happens with some orders.Bottom line, they're so cheap you could buy two or three and you'll probably get one or two good ones. Keep the other(s) as backup. It's still a pretty good deal. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

First off, this is a good knife that arrived sturdy, sharp, and seems to be well constructed. It is not easy to open, as the “spring assist” doesn’t kick in until you have already had to muscle the blade out. Much more difficult than several other of this same knife variety I have owned in the past. Similarly, the release to close the blade is also very small in comparison to other knives. Neither of these is particularly a dealbreaker, but you should be aware since it may not work for everyone. The glass breaker and seatbelt cutter seem solid, sturdy, and comparable to others on tools I have owned in the past. I would recommend this as a good, cheap knife, but the shortcomings I mentioned could pose problems for those with weaker fingers.

I've used the blade an okay amount and it works great! The smooth end of the blade is fairly sharp and the serrated edge cuts branches good (I recently cut through a branch that was about ¾-1 inch thick with almost no trouble). However, do not get this if you're going to rely on the glass breaker. I work with tempered glass (same glass as on the side windows of normal cars) and had to remove a window from a unit due to water leaking. Since the windows are glued in, they need to be broken. I tried to break the window with the glass breaker and the tip became dull and the glass was perfectly fine... ended up using a mallet to break the window instead. I haven't tested the seatbelt cutter. It's slim, light and fits well in my pocket whether I clip it or not. It also seems pretty durable for being a folding knife versus a full tang blade (not good enough for a survival knife though). Overall, knife is great, glass breaker is not.

I have recommended this knife to everyone I know. When you look at the price, you think that the knife is going to be cheaply made. However, the durable feel and weight of it in my hand has far exceeded my expectations. The blade also comes pre-sharpened, and though I think I can get it sharper, it's sharp enough for my daily tasks. It can open like a switchblade and is easily unlocked and closed, all with one hand. I haven't yet used the window breaker or seatbelt cutter, but those are nice features to have. As a firefighter/EMT, this is the knife I carry with me everywhere I go. I have used it more times than I can count, and every time I am pleased with its performance.My family has purchased over 10 of these knives since I recommended it, and rave about it as well to their friends. Again, for the price, this is a fantastic knife.

Very easy and satisfying to open with one hand (spring assisted flick saves your wrists). Sturdy locking mech, easy to close when you want it to close, great size for basic pocket knife tasks. Style is reasonable enough. I wouldn't trust the belt cutter with my life, but the dull razor blade in your pocket is better than the one you don't have.Carrying an expensive knife makes you stop and think too much about what's acceptable to use your expensive pocket knife for. You'll end up using it a lot less. Get a disposably priced knife like this one. Get 5. Need to cut up cardboard? fine. Need an emergency screwdriver? fine. it was $10 and you can not stress about it. Toss it and get a new one.

These are pretty good everyday pocket knives. This in the photo was purchased about a year ago but only lasted about 6-8months before the blade failure.What I love: the size and weight are on the small side but not too small. So while functional, it doesn’t take up too much pocket space or leave shorts sagging. Still just large enough to feel proper in the hand. The opening action is pretty smooth but a little wd40 out the box doesn’t hurt.What I don’t love: this is my 3rd in the past 5 or so years. As such, I view these as somewhat disposable.Usually the small screws start falling out. This one broke the blade housing.. but to be fair I definitely go hard on these. An integrated bottle opener would be nice, if done well. Have another cheap knife with a bottle opener that is too bulky and the opener is kind of useless so in retrospect, shoulda just bought another one of these.So my next move is to try a nicer pocket knife but I may come back to these eventually.Overall - decent value for the price.
