I know you get what you pay for but I guess I was hoping for more out of this China Kershaw. I was looking forward to the button lock feature but the open/close action on mine is stiff and gritty and no amount of breaking in or oiling has helped. The assist spring inside also rattles like crazy - more than any of my other rattling speed safe kershaws. The knife functions ok but this model was not built with any amount of precision. At least mine is not flat out broken as others have had issues with but I think I'll stick to USA Kershaws from now on and won't get suckered in by the low prices of the imports. I had similar disappointment with the swerve model but in that case the issue was blade play.
