[QUOTE="zghorner, post: 2874799, member: 35089"] straight garbage man don't buy one. You can tell its a "cheaper" clone from the get go. they tried with the Halo, they didn't even give a crap with this one. Ive had it nearly a week and have been waiting to give a review because it has been sketchy on reliability. Tonight it crapped out on me for good and I plan on (trying) to get my money back. At first I was excited about it...I could tell it was more dainty than the halo and have been babying this thing...no letting my kid use it as a machete lol. It worked "okay" at first...not nearly the release force of the halo clone but I figured it wasn't a big deal since its a dif design and it was locking up fine. After about 20 or so uses (in, out, in, out) I had the blade give me a few failures to open and lock in completely. I noticed all the mini screws holding the thing together were loose...like threaded in but not tightened even a bit. So I bought a set of mini torx head wrenches and applied a small amount of blue Loctite to them and tightened them all down. It seemed to fix it but i could feel the spring tension decrease every day and like I said, tonight its so weak it wont even lock into position. Total bummer because I really like the style of this knife. Its really slim and the auto in and out is handy. I was more excited about this one than the halo and man did it let me down. On the other hand...the halo is still running strong and I have been abusing the thing. [/QUOTE]
