This review is from: Smith & Wesson CK5TBS Bullseye Extreme Ops 4.1\" 40% Serrated Black Tanto BladeThis seems like a good knife, especially at the price. I've not been pounding on it with a hammer, or using it to chisel marble, but the constrction seems sound, the blade well mounted and of high quality, the grip easy on the hand, and the mechanism locks positively and well.Reflecting upon another review, it is possible that a smaller hand might find the thumb-knurl on the small side and difficult to open, for lack of leverage and inadequate purchase. This is only a guess, but may be a matter of consideration for others. As already noted, I find the blade easy to open and the lock mechanism tight and solid.One other point of approval -- the belt-clip is very solid, tight and well-mounted. Many other manufacturers seem to go cheap on the clip, which makes carrying the knife a problem after a while. The clip loosens up and the knife will easily fall off the belt if one is in an awkward position or brushing past things. This guy looks like it will stay on the belt long after the belt itself has fallen away. This, for me, is another positive....

This review is from: Smith & Wesson CK5TBS Bullseye Extreme Ops 4.1\" 40% Serrated Black Tanto BladeLength:: 1:12 Mins4 stars, but that is as a knife in general and does not factor in the price. At $10, well worth the cost (5 stars).The Main Points:First, I've only had this one day, so these are some initial thoughts.The thumb stud and liner lock are a nice latch that makes it easy to open and close with one hand.The serrations are nice, and work OK as a wood saw, not amazing, but there is just a little over an inch of serration, so what can you expect?The only complaint: I don't like that the blade has an angle bend. A curve would be much nicer for such things as whittling.Overall, a good tool. I am satisfied with my purchase and would reccomend it to others.*Update* - yeah guys I have come to understand that a tanto blade has the angle. But I want to point out that particular shortcoming to someone like me, who had no idea what that meant. So to all- This is a great Tanto blade. Enjoy....
