MTECH USA Tactical Assisted Opening Folding Rescue Knife

These are beautiful knives with a good, sturdy build. The blades are stainless steel with a black coating, so they don’t keep an edge quite as long as a high carbon steel blade, but they look nice and I’ve found it more than sufficient for use as my EDC (every day carry). I originally had the smaller one (got it from a roadside stop), but I came across these larger versions on Amazon and decided to get a few to gift to friends. The photos show the relative sizes, the smaller one is the version with the 3.5 inch handle, and these are the larger with the 4.5 inch handle. I bought two in the blue and silver, and one in the purple and black to compliment my smaller knife, and on all three the build quality is excellent with no defects to date. The “Tac Force” markings on the blade seem to vary in style, my guess is that they changed this in between various production batches. This doesn’t bother me, and has no effect on performance. The spring assisted opening is great and works well, although it’s just slightly slower than the smaller version, likely because of the larger blade. Also, I don’t recommend using the thumb studs on the spine to open the larger blades, as the size of the knife makes it a bit less comfortable to open in this style, and you’re more likely to cut yourself. The trigger however works very well and makes a very satisfying “snick” sound as the blade opens (not crucial but adds to the experience). The liner lock seems to be reliable and firm, and holds the blade very steady while open. I’ve not noticed any wobble or play in the blade while carving with it. What I really like about the larger blades is that they’ve added a slight concave curve to the lower belly of the blade, which maximizes the amount of blade you can use for carving and slicing as compared to just a straight edge like the smaller version has. An added bonus of course is the seatbelt cutter and the glass breaking spike. I haven’t properly tested these (and hope I never really have to) but they seem solid, and the cutter is at least capable of cutting strings and twine from what I have been able to test. They’re good for peace of mind. So, to wrap up, if you want a cheap, relatively reliable, stylish, and sturdy blade that will hold up as a good EDC, these are an excellent option.

It's not to often that you can find a pocket knife that's both attractive & useful. This one is, and at a great price. The color of the metal is lovely, the blade is really sharp, it's easy to both fold & unfold, and it has a bloody dragon on the hilt. It's just too cool and useful for me to not love it. Even my hubby's a bit jealous, although he'd probably prefer something a bit more masculine. But I'm a woman who likes knives & this one is perfect for me.

The dragon on these are so cool, but let’s get into why i really like this knife and i have two. It’s multifunctional and so, it has on the tip a glass breaker, seat belt clipper, and a knife you can use for many different things. Hunting, cutting boxes, opening packages that are hard to just take packing tape off. They are high quality and dependable. It is easy to pop knife open and then you can easily just figure out you have to bend a little part next to top of knife in order to put knife back in place. I have two of these and leave one in my car and one is in my purse at all times.

**My original review is below** UPDATED....5 STARS! The defective knife I received was immediately REPLACED with a perfectly manufactured working knife! ....Now I can easily open all my Amazon packages without looking for my scissors.... thank you!! 5 STAR KNIFE with excellent 5 STAR CUSTOMER SERVICE!! Original review....I purchased to open all my Amazon packages... got it today and sadly can't use it because it does NOT LOCK OPEN (seller immediately replaced it and all is great in the world again)

Was sent a red one instead of purple. Returned it and reordered and got a purple one. Sharp knife, and the recipient likes the dragon motif.

I got this beautiful knife for my friend who lost her favorite pocket knife! The colors are so pretty, it’s lightweight but doesn’t look or feel cheap at all! It’s the perfect size for your pocket or your purse and it’s such a great value for the price! Well worth every penny. It’s also such a unique style. Run. Don’t walk! Get yours today! It’s also sharp, so use caution!

I have had a passion for all kinds of edged weapons (Katana, Wakizashi, Tanto, Tactical knives, Machete and Neck knives) in my more than 60 years of edge weapons and martial arts training. Like all knife and weapon collectors I follow the philosophy that you can never have too many weapons. Even though I have several Tac Force knives when I saw this model (Tac Force TF-759 RB-MC Tactical, Dragon painted handle, assisted opening 3 inch blade with a seat belt cutter and a metal pocket clip) advertised on Amazon for a bargain price I had to have it. This is a solid, durable and sharp knife that also has a strong metal clip to carry it in your pocket for a quick draw if needed. The assisted opening brings the blade out quickly. For the price I found this to be an excellent and good looking tactical knife. Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Tanto-Jutsu: An official manual of Bushi Satori Ryu)

Great spring assist sturdy just got it and I love it Update 2 year ago I bought this knife and it's worked out great it's able to withstand constant abuse and I have carried it every day for the last 2 years from all the things I put it through nothing could bend ,chip or crack the blade Though the color rubbed off due to using it for 2 years but great blade and very sturdy Update year 3 and the knife has been abused In possibly every way possible the color is almost gone on one side and the blade wiggles a little but fixed easily but other than that the knife is fine I highly recommend this to people who need a work knife
