Tac-Force- Folding Pocket Knife

This is a review of my very first pocket knife.I am very satisfied with my purchase of this knife, only buying it for $6.50 USD at the time, I think it was worth it. The little one came in a really tiny box, and i was surprised how small the knife actually was! Im a 13 year old male, with moderately / big hands for my age. This knife fits just fine in my four fingers, with just half of my picky hanging under the knife handle, I think this knife is a great size. the belt clip basically takes up half of the handle, But when in use it never really bugs me. The knife came extra sharp out of the box, which was a big surprise to me for 6 bucks. And surprisingly enough, there was no blade wobble! this knife came with a stiff body/handle locking mechanism, (unlike linear locks, this one is attached/is part of the handle). I've had this knife for about 2/3 months now, and its served me well, and still does to this day. I have no idea what type of steel its made of, but it hasn't rusted / corroded yet, and is the easiest thing to sharpen. When i first got the knife, it would flip out, but the lock didn't engage. which is dangerous, but i'm sure this might just be dumb luck. After a few flips and such, the lock would engage every time. After awhile, the knife's incredible solid blade wobble came to an end when the screw came lose. It uses a third party screw which has 8 points, and is very small. I used the end of some scissors to tighten the screw and there is very very slight wobble, but the knife is just fine. The thumb studs are a nice touch considering you get them on both sides, i'm a huge fan of them. The knife's been thrown in lakes, lost in mud, dropped on concrete/tile, and it still survives to this day in just fine condition. The paint is holding up AMAZING for a 6 dollar knife. I expected alot of paint to come off after its countless drops, and very little has home out. This being my first knife I would recommend this to parents looking to get their children something to use / possibly stay protected with. Its a great little knife, and that's all it needs to be.

I carry a knife on me wherever I go (I blame the boy scouts). This is by far the best everyday knife you could ask for- and I compare this to high end blades I own. I bought my first one several years ago and recently reorder a new one since I broke my first one (accidently got it stuck in a machine and desipte a good fight, the machine one.)Pros: The price is amazing. Size: super small and light so it doesn't weight down my pants nor take up much pocket space. The clip: I have had other clips really mess up my pockets- this one wears down your pocket but it is loose enough without ripping up the pocket like others I have had. The trade off, it has fallen out when sitting down but this happens very rarely and has only happened when I was sitting on a weird seat (like a small stool that pushed it out) but never a standard seat like at a kitchen table/office chair. Blade: came sharp and is really easy to sharpen. Also holds it's edge for a while. I have used this to cut a variety of things and it never disappoints- whether it's a chicken breast, thick rope, that hard plastic used on toy packaging, etc. Obviously this isn't going to cut everything, but it definetly does an impressive job compared to any other knife of it's size I have had. Lock: this stays locked when open yet isn't difficult to close (some knifes I own dig into your fingers if you try to close them). Cleaning: easy to wipe off and nothing seems to stick to it. Even things like pine sap, etc comes off with a simple Baby Wipe. Also, I have not had any rust.Cons: Honestly can't think of one. If you like spring assist opening, then not your thing (although it is easy to open). Otherwise for this size of knife, I can't say enough good things about it. I would say, if they came out with a 2" blade with the exact same layout, I would love it as it would be even easier to carry around. but I say that not incontraction with me saying it barely takes up space.

Smaller than I expected but that makes it an excellent concealed carry. Heavy for it's size - feels sturdy. Lockup is tight. Action is mostly smooth just needs to be dusted and oiled. Razor sharp - literally shaved with it. Strong spring on assisted open.My only concern is that it's very smooth. Due to the nature of it being a folding knife - I can't wrap it with paracord or leather to increase grip, therefore my options are to either add grip tape, or grind a grip pattern into the surface. Do whichever works best for you.

I find this a very handy little utensil. Not bulky, easy to carry and deployment is easy, but does take practice. Would not hesitate to buy another one.

The media could not be loaded. Read mostly good reviews. Bought one for my wife and me for EDC (we are work from home).The bad reviews stated it was too hard to open, came with a full blade, felt cheap, it was too small, and/or would spring open accidentallySo far none of those negatives apply. Easy enough to open one handed without being too easy (who wants that). Very sharp out of the box - cut through plastic tape and card board boxes with ease. Feels good in the hand and does not feel cheap. It is a little small. I have smaller hands so it’s comfortable. Large handed people may want to look for a longer handle blade. Only time will tell how it holds up but so far I’m happy with the choice. Will update if I get issues.
