Is this knife what the advertising says it is &amp; does?

No, and No again, I cook a lot of Chinese food, and when I try to slice chicken, the meat sticks to the blade with each slice and you have to stop and pull it off. Wish I had not wasted my money. works on some vegetables. would I recommend it to any one. NO I WOULD NOT.

It is not a real benchmade knife, therefore it was just a play of poor "copy-cat" workmanship. The locking mechanism is not the correct size nor shape to hold both ends together. In fact the lock plays a huge role in the faults of this knife. By squeezing the two handles together it's not only putting pressure on the locks bolt, but also on the handles rotating bolts.

The knife is designed by a guy named Becker and sold by Kabar. This knife is definitely the real deal. Basically a sharpened hunk of steel! I love mine.

I 'believe' it is the authentic one, but I'd advise passing on any with the Rothco "middle-man" involved. They have a habit of selling cheap Chinese replicas, and sometimes the real thing. Why gamble? Plus Rothco doesn't make a thing, they're just middle-men. Look for this under the authentic Ontario 499 or AFSK, which mean the same thing. By the way, it's a sold knife with a rather crude "polish". Which is great as you'll put it right to work and it'll take a beating.

No it is not. But it has a very smooth action. Opening it is easy and fast just a flick of the wrist. I carry this knife every day and love it I use the heck out of it as well. It gets opened at least 6 times a day.

Yes it's real. This knife isn't made in the U.S.A. , so it is more economic. However, it is a decent knife made with decent materials. It comes pretty sharp and is a great value. You be hard pressed to find any more "bang-for-your-buck". IMO, even though it has no assisted opening the locking mechanism is better than the Kershaw Blur's liner lock. In a self defense situation you want to have a knife that doesn't fold back and cut you.

No idea, there is little or no information provided by the seller. I doubt, for 40 dollars or so, it is true damascus steel, but that is just my opinion which may, or may not, have any validity. I have one, but would I buy another one? No, probably not, with the cost of international shipping and the cost of the knife itself it isn't really a bargain especially if you don't know what you are getting. This goes beyond the scope of your question but there is really no way to answer. All one can do is offer an opinion.

That's a good Question. From the looks of it, probably not. I still like it and it has a high "wow" factor. It would be the one knife I would want it I had one to choose.

This knife is a liner lock and is mis-described in the text. They do make a frame lock knife and this isn't it. I have both. I personally prefer the frame lock to the liner lock, as it seems stronger.

Yes, as far as I can tell it is one piece. ............same knife I was issued back in the 80's. It's the real deal.

Hi, Mr. Toyer!No, it is not. You want too much for this knife which is high quality knife for reasonable price. By rating in Russian YouTube Rat1 was folding knife #1 for 2011 or 2012 I don't remember. It is perfect slicer and cutter but liner lock doesn't like abuse (do not chop) and if you leave over night the knife wet very fast coming rust.

This knife has a stamped steel blade (not forged), so it has a slight spring to it. For the knife's size and its intended purpose it is just about perfect. This is a great knife for slicing, chopping or trimming smaller sized veggies and meats. Very sharp and it holds its edge. High quality and a good value. Hope this helps.

Honestly, I think it's the same knife from different sellers. The picture looks the exact same. In any case, it's a pretty good knife, a little tight to open, but that's better than too loose. I don't think Gerber offers the same style knife in different steel qualities. I bought the one certified by Amazon just in case it was wrong and I had to return it. That's usually the safest bet. Good luck!

This wasn't part of my response. I responded to whether the knife was "full tang." The "new addition" is in Amazon's description of the product, and I suspect they meant to say "new edition," since this particular knife is not exactly what is seen in the Crocodile Dundee movies.

flicks base should read flicks blade. Re self defense, the manufacturer goes to some length to say knife is for slicing, not stabbing. Suspect it'd do one as well as the other.
