great for the money!
this is one slick knife! it is an all black beast. after a few flicks open, you'll have the action down for sure. comes sharp out of the box. from the looks of it the assisted mechanism is a tension bar. it snaps open with authority. good weight and thickness overall. I only have a few cons. there is not enough jimping on the back of the knife. there is an attempt on the back of the handle, but none on the blade itself. but it is easy to pick out flaws. what a great price! I would buy it again for sure.
