Smith & Wesson M&P 8.5in High Carbon S.S. Spring Assisted Folding Knife with 3.5in Serrated Drop Point Blade and Rubber Handle for Outdoor Survival and EDC,Tan

This is actually my second time owning this knife. I lost my old one, so I had to replace it because it's my favorite knife. It comes very sharp and holds its edge. The ferro rod is a great edition to this survival knife. It could save your life in a pinch. The whistle on the ferro rod sounds quiet if you blow in it lightly but give it a hard blow and it will get you heard. The hex wrenches are super nice. I've had to use them a few times and it's just handy to have them on a knife you carry around. The bottle opener gets it's use as well. The knife opens fast and easy as well. This is a great knife especially for the price.

Performs as expected for the price. As long as you cycle it open and closed about 50+ times it will break in and become easier to open and close with ease without feeling loose. The whistle seems plenty loud. I haven’t tried the ferro rod, bottle opener, glass breaker, seatbelt cutter, or hex wrench features yet, but as a jack of all trades, master of none EDC tool, it’s not bad to have around. The knife seems plenty sharp and has punctured and sliced through thick cardboard with ease.

I purchased this based on a few reviews saying it was lightweight. I had an older S&W knife which was super heavy so it went to the toolbox to be lost in it forever. This is lightweight, very sharp out of the box. I don't notice it in my pocket and doesn't get in the way of my hands to grab something out.

Very light, compared to other Smith and Wesson knives I've gotten. One complaint though, it is hard to open with one hand, as it has no tab on the opposite side of the blade that would normally allow you to flick it open with your index finger. It is impractical to try to open it with one hand, which is a large downfall when it comes to pocket knives, especially when your hands are full and you need to use a tool with one hand.The blade comes sharp from the factory, all the features it advertises work as intended. Having a bottle opener, glass breaker and seatbelt cutter on a pocket knife is an obvious edition to any good EDC.This knife is compact, light and useful. 4 stars because it's great other than the annoying fact of opening it with two hands.

Very sharp right out of the box and fits my hand very well. Blade flips open easily and clips on the belt. I use it for fishing mainly, but it has also taken the place of my box cutter at work and at home. I have even cleaned fish with it the blade is so good. After several months of Every Day Carry the finish is starting to wear off in the places it rubs the most, but given how it almost never leaves my pocket anymore this is to be expected. I have cut down sticks as rod holders and as fish stringers with this thing. I have tightened wireless antenna ports with the hex slots. I have opened beer bottles with the opener and cut fishing line with both the blade and the cord cutter. I have used the screwdriver to tighten cabinet doors. About the only thing I haven't used in a real situation is the whistle and ferro rod.Overall everything is awesome on this knife. You wont regret it.The only bad thing with my knife is the ferro rod came loose the first time I took it out of its slot on the knife, and fell off the whistle. That made it impossible to use going forward as any time you attempted a spark, the rod would go flying out of the "handle" and into the ground. I used a dab of superglue on the bottom of the rod and it stays in now. Not sure if this is intentional or not but the glue works for me.

After a couple years I just lost mine and after looking at what’s out there I’m going to buy the same one again. Loved all the features and everything, only problem, the whistle would come loose once in a blue moon and I’d find it in my pocket somewhere, happen ed like 3 or 4 times in 2 years.

Sharpest Pocket knife I ever owned. Sturdy, solid, well-built. Love this knife.

Handle is too thin for people with large hands. Good self defense knife if you ever have to disembowel acarjacker.
