Review for model:

Very strong, even too strong frame lock, which makes one-handed closing quite troublesome and not very safe. I bought it thinking it would be my strongest folder to carry with me when needed. Eventually, it ended up in my emergency car bag and for my EDC powerhouse I chose the ColdSteel AD10.

I have had it for over 3 years and I consider it one of the best budget folding knives. It is very strong, comfortable, and well thought-out. The flat construction makes it easy to carry in your pocket. The steel is okay, nothing spectacular, but for everyday use it holds an edge well enough and is easy to sharpen. Great tool!

A worthy piece of machinery... size-wise, a substantial knife, and the quality of workmanship and materials is top-class. In terms of looks—Dark Knight.. ;) The price along with ksk points—Cool.

Overall impression is of mega sturdiness and solidity. Large, heavy, fits just right in the sleeve pocket of an MA-1. It arrived with a slightly off-centered blade, but fixing it took only a flathead screwdriver and a minute of free time. After breaking in, it moves smoothly and easily. The frame lock is a bit heavy to operate for someone with smaller hands, but it’s not a disaster. Bought as a Christmas gift for a friend and since she received it, she flips it non-stop—definitely makes a great gift :)

Great knife. My favorite EDC. The knife is large—almost 24 cm—with very good steel. My only complaint is the knife's fidget factor, which is quite low as it's not the kind of knife you can "play" with. However, so far it’s been reliable in use.

The wolf knife is a bit too big for EDC, but if someone wants something so rugged, it looks and performs great.

I definitely recommend it! High build quality. The perfect knife for EDC. This is not a knife worth buying just for opening packages. I prefer tanto blades because of their durability. The black color gives it character and the ribbed handle design makes cleaning the knife easier, and also allows you to save a few grams. I used it in the field for various purposes, without worrying if it would hold up—and it did. I recommend this knife with a clear conscience. I also recommend shopping at militaria.pl – full professionalism.
