With full conviction I give it 5 stars. A good price for Cold Steel. The lock holds solidly over time. The knife is very light, flat, and comfortable to carry. If someone likes full handles filling the hand, they should choose another. For me, carrying comfort is above comfort of momentary use. The clip is fully functional if you use fairly thin material, as usually found in tactical pants. If it's crucial to wear it clipped to jeans, you'll need to buy another clip, bend the existing one, or choose a different model. As for the handle texture – it's perfect. A 5-minute operation with sandpaper under the place the clip presses eliminates material wear.

Cool little knife, a lot of blade at low weight, the lock gets loose pretty quickly, the clip holds very well, but the handle's texture is a misunderstanding – I haven't seen such a pocket-destroying grater in a long time. The knife itself is very flat and comfortable – steel is nothing special, but still has something to it.
-
Great big knife, for me it is perfect for preparing meals outdoors thanks to the long blade and the stainless steel used, it works very well for this purpose. Of course, it is also suitable for other types of work.
-
Large blade with a nice finish, the tri-ad click is pleasant to the ear and most importantly, right out of the box you can chop vegetables and fruit without any problem. I recommend it.
-
A lot of sharpness for a reasonable price. Average build quality. Unfortunately, the clip serves only as a decoration. On the plus side, the Tri-ad Lock holds perfectly. Zero blade play, which is a positive surprise for such a thin handle.
-
A lot of sharpness, very flat, great lock. Express shipping.
-
Very large blades in a slim form, a nice slicer for fruit or other food.
-
A Broken Skull, but for less money ^^ It has a slightly thicker handle, which makes it fit better in the hand and allows for longer use without blisters.
-
Despite having worse steel than the Air Lite, I actually liked it more, mainly due to the full flat grind.
-
A nice, larger folder with a quite comfortable handle, but at this price I would expect better steel.
