This Knife has a Plastic Flywheel!

The blade is sharp. The handle looks cheap and feels the same. The blade is much shorter than the handle. A useful knife but I am disappointed. I think there are better choices in Swiss Army knives.

Looks like a butterfly knife, but it's not.
Sharp knife though

This item arrived on time and has a good feel to the handle. The blade is sharp, yet rusts easily. Unfortunately the blade has split on the bottom, I have never seen this happen to a blade. It's only been used to slice 3 pizzas!

I just received this and was pretty excited to add it my collection. I was not familiar with the HK brand, but was familiar with Benchmade knives. I read all of the reviews here and most gave it 5 stars. As soon as I took it out of the box, something struck me as odd. First of all, I took a look at the sheath. I have one that looks just this with the Winchester name on it. You know those cheap multi tools that are sold at Kmart, Wal-Mart, etc. Then I pulled out the multi tool itself and had the same feeling like I had seen this before! I quickly dug into a box where I had some older multi tools stashed, and found an old Winchester multi tool. All this tool is, is a rebranded Winchester tool, anodized (Painted?) black, with two different tools in it.  It is the same size, shape, etc. It is NOT made by Benchmade! It is a cheaply made Chinese multi tool!! The tool I received is also different than the picture. The picture actually shows two different tools after looking at it more closely. It is also odd that nobody mentions that none of the tools lock. I will be contacting the seller and returning this item.

The smaller blade is plastic. This will not hold up compared to the others I have bought for the same price that are mettle.  Better off buying at local pet store to make sure you get what you are paying for.

I was bluffing with my friends about my beautiful knife, but when I was using it on the field cutting some bushes, the handle was detached from the body of this knife !!!!

This knife was a Christmas gift to my brother. It was ordered two months ago, and broke about a month into owning it... And he doesn't eat cheese all that often. He's obsessed with Global knives, although I'm not quite sure why... The website requires a serial number from the original packaging (which he doesn't have, it was a gift) in order to replace the product which has a lifetime guarantee. Seeing as I do not have that information, the knife can't be replaced, and I'm pretty pissed this piece of s*** broke so quickly. I will never buy another Global knife!

Seems like a pretty nice tool, overall.  However, the handle is plastic and feels like it may not be durable.  This is especially true for the button that releases the lock.  It does come with a limited 3 year warranty, so I hope they would replace it if it breaks.  Be warned: comes with a preachy note about their religion on the "instruction" sheet.  I will avoid this company in the future.  I needed a knife, not a lesson on their values.

Fly swatters are another of those dying breed of products like rotary dial phones, TVs with picture tubes, cassette players, etc. that used to be found in every home but these days not so much. If you walk into even the big mega department stores looking for one you likely won't even find one. And when you do, like here at Amazon, they are almost always the one-piece molded plastic things that are stamped out by the billions in China.

My great-aunt from Pennsylvania had an Amish-made fly swatter. She was 92 and when she aimed for a fly she could have been Annie Oakley  she never missed a shot. Her fly swatter, which she probably had all of her life, was a supple piece of perforated leather with what looked like a bent metal coat hanger attached to it.

Here are some little-known things about fly swatters that you probably never knew:

1. The device really shouldnt be called a fly swatter at all. Swatting flies is what you do with your hand or what a horse does with its tail. Your mission with one of these things is to KILL the fly, not just swat at it. A much more appropriate name should be a Fly Whapper.

2. The cheap plastic things are designed all wrong for whapping flies. First off they are usually brightly colored. Flies have hundreds of thousands of eyes, in fact fly eyes have the fastest visual responses in the animal kingdom. So, bottom line is that if you want to surprise them the last thing you want is a neon pink piece of plastic flailing at one of them.

3. Plastic fly swatters are also too rigid. My great aunts fly whapper had a wire handle just like this Amish one does  and for a good reason. The thin wire minimize the disruption of air currents, which can be detected by the fly and allow it to escape, and also reduce air resistance, making it easier to hit a fast-moving target such as a fly. The thicker, more rigid plastic handle is like sending an engraved warning notice to the fly that you're about to hit it. Its the same reason that a rolled up newspaper rarely actually hits a fly.

4. There are some other (similar) handmade fly whappers with a leather pad at the end but they use a wooden handle. Same thing  the wooden handle isn't whippy enough, to be able to flex just before the moment of impact for maximum squoosh with minimum damage caused by hitting other objects.

5. Finally, the business end of the fly whapper, lets call it the pad. For absolute maximum whippiness there is nothing that beats natural leather. There was another kind of pad thats hard to find now that was a fabric mesh like a dense window screen. They were a close second to natural leather in whippiness. The cheap plastic pads aren't even in the same league as either of the above.

So, you're shopping for a fly whapper and you now know that those bright neon colors that attract your eye also attracts all of the thousands of eyes on the fly and destroy your chances of a stealth approach. Youve also learned that a stiff handle can be your worst enemy when whapping flies  the whippier the handle the better.  Youve also learned that my 92 year old aunt had a batting average that makes yours look like junior league and she did it with an old Amish fly whapper that wasn't too different from this one.

And now you know the full story why I believe this fly whapper earns a full 5-stars.

As of this writing, I'm holding my old Kershaw 1600BLK (Gloss Black)  "Chive".  It has been living in my pocket for the last 9 1/2 years and it looks like a much younger knife that it is.  I did manage to put two small notches in the blade since I've cut everything from cardboard to wire to meat and bone with this little knife.

The only weak point in this design is that the safety is made of plastic, and I have broken the tab twice in the time I've owned it (It lives on my keychain and sometimes gets tangled up in my pocket.  Not really the knife's fault).  However, replacement parts are FREE for life and the Kershaw website has a simple form that you fill out to get the parts with instructions.

The reason I'm here on Amazon today is that I'm planning on buying one for each of my brothers-in-law.  I guess that means I like them.

There are scratches on the handle and fingerprints all over the blade.

It is all real carbon fiber and all in all a beautiful piece. It's just too fragile to be used practically as a knife. The blade is sanded down to one layer of carbon which will brake off easily.

Picked up the knife, mostly because of the looks. I do love the digi cam handle and the black blade's finish seems pretty durable. The knife flicks open very quickly and reliably with the assist function and performs well for light to medium cutting tasks. Unfortunately, due to the plastic handles, the blade has already developed a small amount of side to side play which was rectified by tightening the pivot. Only real disappointment is that this will be labeled in some places as "US Made" when in fact, the packaging identifies it as "Assembled in the US". Still, for a $50 knife, this is not bad and will take care of any average cutting job you need.(i.e. Cutting cord, boxes, and plastic straps)

Now ask yourself...Why would a manufacturing produce one of the most critical, rotating parts out of plastic, rather than steel? Buyer beware! The gear teeth underneath the METAL blade are made of CHEAP PLASTIC. I wish I had read the Consumer Report on this one in 2004. The gear teeth broke off within a year. If you are looking for a blender that will last a while, don't get this one. Ugh.

You'd have better luck surviving with a tooth pick. By far the cheapest knife I have ever laid eyes on. Hollow plastic scales....Horrible!

I like everything about this knife except for the blade. The blade is made of soft stainless steel and won't hold an edge. I barley was able to fillet one fish before the edge that I had spent quite some time on was gone. The vendor was great, arrived as expected and packaged well. The knife itself now has no place in my tackle, I will give it to someone who I don't like.

I don't hate it.  Just want to get the manufacturer's attention, if possible.  Spent 10 minutes trying to get this knife out of the package and emerged with two plastic cuts and a knife nick in my fingers.  This knife had better be worth it.
