Opinion:

Pros:

The handle on this knife is extremely comfortable. The texture of the sides combined with the grooves make for a very secure grip despite only having a three finger grip. I also really like the design of the knife. Lastly, the size is perfect. That doesn't mean I don't like full sized knives, what it does mean is that I like carrying a small knife occasionally for a minimal approach like when I wear athletic shorts and don't want something weighing down my pockets. It is just small enough to fit that bill without being so small that it can't accomplish most tasks.

Cons:

The flipper action isn't completely smooth, it takes an additional flick of your wrist to completely open the knife. The blade doesn't hold an edge super well but isn't abysmal. Lastly, the blade is significantly off center of the body.

General Thoughts:

I carry this knife mostly when I just want a minimal approach without giving up to much utility. Despite the cons it is still a really solid knife that costs less than $5, and with that price tag you really can't complain about anything anyways. I picked it up along with a couple other options at a Walmart and have really enjoyed carrying them occasionally.
