I purchased this knife from a local sporting goods store a few weeks ago for about the same price as Amazon (around $10). So far, I think it’s a pretty good little pocket knife. It’s small, thin, and light, just like the name says. It’s comfortable to hold in your hand when open, not too small. It’s comfortable to carry in your pocket, not too big or too heavy. I’m not using it to do any major tasks, mostly open mail and packages, scrape adhesive from surfaces, etc. It seems fairly sturdy and secure for its size. You could easily cut rope or some other medium duty task without a problem. I did have a little problem at first opening and closing it. The blade slot and liner lock tab are small and thin, and I have pretty good size hands. After a few dozen open/closes and a drop of oil, it has smoothed out nicely though. I have not had any problems with coins or keys getting stuck in the frame, but I could see it as a possibility. Overall, I’m pleased with this little knife. I would probably buy it again if I lost it, and I have been carrying it regularly. It meets my needs for a pocket knife.
Rating: 4 / 5
Good points: The steel is very good. There’s not much wasted steel in the blade- the edge runs up close to the handle. The blade lock is very secure- there’s no chance of accidently releasing the lock. There’s no side-to-side wobble of the blade (it feels almost like a fixed blade knife) yet it opens fairly easily. The knife can be disassembled via 7 torx screws which are secured with Locktite. In all these regards I think it’s much better than the Gerber 06050 Ultralight LST Folding Knife with Fine Blade
Bad point: The back of the handle is open! I’m constantly detangling it from dimes and sometimes keys in my pocket. Not so good for the edge and- more importantly to me- it’s really aggravating. It would have been easy and cheap for Gerber to close the opening. I’d give the knife a 5 star rating if not for this.
Minor quibbles: The product description says, “Thumb slot for one-hand opening”. This is difficult to do due to the narrowness of the handle. It can be done, but it takes a far amount of resolute practice. The black finish on the handle doesn’t last long- it’s wearing through in places on mine after less than a month. This doesn’t bother me.
