How long is the blade?

I dunno what ruler the other reviewers used, but from ricasso to tip is 3 inches long and 3mm thick at it's spine. 3&3/16ths if you measure from the handle straight to the tip. Good steel, keeps a great edge and has a sort of modern/classic look. Sturdy.

the description says the item weighs 1lb. that can't be right. does anyone know?

The description says 3.3 oz but I put mine on a digital postage scale and it was 3.6 oz. Not a light knife. My SOG Flash 2 is 2.8 oz.

Is this knife made in the USA?

Designed in the USA, made in China (per the UPC sticker on the box)

The opening mechanism is the worst. Almost impossible to open that way. How can i file a groove in the blade so i can open it with my fingernail?

Well, you answered your own question, though I’d use a bench grinder and be very, very careful about heating it up, you don’t want to do that!
