MTECH USA Marines Black Spring Assisted Opening Tactical Rescue Folding Pocket Knife

I abuse my knives. If a knife can make it 6 months with me, it's pretty solid. I purchased this to replace my S&W assisted which had lasted about a year. Comparing the two. This feels lighter and easier to manage. This one sits better in my pocket. Not sure why. Maybe the overall profile? It just feels less 'in the way' while it's in my pocket. Yet is still plenty substantial with a lot to hold on to should I need to put force behind whatever it is I'm doing. The only difference I'm not 100% in love with is the assisted action. It's soft for my preference. The S&W snapped open with authority. This opens much smoother but, much softer. It's not a negative, just a difference. Personally, I'd like it to snap open with more force. Overall, I love the knife. I've had it for several months now and so far it's holding up to my abuse very well.

Largest/longest flip-out blade I could find. A little bulky for the pocket (thick). Excellent blade and texture. Handle is is rugged and filled with ridges, east to grip wet or dry. Has been my favorite since purchase.

Great product, good condition, works perfectly

I purchased this USMC folding knife to replace my Gerber knife for daily carry. I was not in the Marines, but I was a police officer for many years, and I know the value of a good knife both in self-defense and emergency situations. This knife works well in both. It comes in a nice box, so it would make a great gift. Here in Texas, the law defines the blade as the exposed metal part, whether it's sharpened all of the way down to the hinge or not. For this knife, the blade is around 4.5" long, well within the legal limit for Texas carry. The spring assistance along with a nub on the blade and a fin on the backside means you can open it with one hand, even if it's your non-dominate hand. The hard plastic ridges provide stable grip even if your hands are covered in sweat, blood, or fuel. The non-hinged end of the knife features a glass-breaker which is very useful for breaking vehicle windows if the doors malfunction. It's always a good idea to have a way of breaking glass in your vehicle, and this is a viable alternative to keeping an emergency mini-hammer in the glove box. The only downside to this is that it is quite sharp, and it's on the clip end of knife, so I have to be very careful putting my hand in my pocket to get my keys lest I get impaled. It hasn't happened yet, but I could see it as a possibility if I were to become careless. Also, the pocket clip is extremely tight, so it takes a lot of effort and sometimes two hands to affix the knife to my pocket. On one hand, that means it isn't going anywhere once you get it into position. On the other hand, I hope it loosens up slightly over time. When ordering, I was concerned about the build quality as stated in other reviews. It is plastic, not metal, but I think it's the type of hard plastic that lasts forever as it is very thick, heavy, and durable. The entire knife feels substantial, so I don't think it's a drawback to be plastic and metal instead of all metal. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase and have carried this knife with me daily. It functions as prescribed, and I would highly recommend it to anyone. 4/5 stars

Good knife, sharp and easy to open and close with quality materials

I have been looking for a good pocket knife for some time, the quality of this product is a great value for the price. First, this knife looks cool, the spring action on the blade is amazing. I have used it to open my Amazon deliveries , this blade is sharp and good quality. The only con is that it takes both hands to close it, but if you look at the safety locking feature and the sharpness of the blade, it is good that you have to use both hands to close it. Extremely happy with the product and the price, as a former Marine, I feel proud to have this knife.

Good

I have had This knife for the past year and a half, And I love it so much! I’ve used it for so many different purposes, and it hasn’t failed me yet. I love the design, looks very tactical. The handle size is very nice, especially if you’re using gloves or if your hands are wet. The fin makes it very easy to deploy the blade, even with long nails (Something that is kind of difficult On other Knives that don’t have it). The blade still unfolds As It did when it was new. I saw a few reviews saying that They can’t fold it with one hand, but it’s really not that bad. I own many knives, and this is by far my favorite, especially for every day carry. I’ve gotten a ton of compliments on as well as it is a good looking knife and quite unique as well. I sharpen it once a Month to every other month (just my preference), depending on how much I use it, and It Retains sharpness very well. 10/10 recommend
