I bought this knife because I thought the mechanism was very interesting.. it is.. but, is VERY difficult to use.. I had to push so hard on the lever I was afraid I was going to break the knife. I wouldnt recommend this to anyone I know...
As soon as I saw this blade I knew I had to have it. With it's over-the-top gear-driven design, its a no-brainer for anyone trying to get a piece thats unique and stylish. Plus it adds at least 20 cool points when you're carrying it. No one can deny its awesomeness.
All that aside, the gear mechanism is very smooth, and the knife gives a very satisfying click when locking into place. Very heavy piece, but thats to be expected with this kind of design and mechanism.
Very cool gear mechanism, but heavy and cumbersome – this is a better display piece than a knife. Not only that, I received mine today and the lock is defective – open the knife, feel no secure hold, and a gentle push on the back of the blade causes it to lightly pop out and start folding closed... I could probably figure out bending it to lock up properly, but given that my first experience (and repeatedly) opening is a knife that clumsily collapses on itself instead of locking, I would really like a refund on this one – Drop, is this an option? Please refund me before I or a loved one gouges a finger from this faulty knife...?
It's a pretty cool knife/mechanism, and I would bet that my faulty lock is not the norm.
This knife is crazy cool. not the most comfortable or easiest to open and close all the time but such a unique design.

Gears are cute, knife is substandard
A novelty opening system, but a mediocre blade and a big, clumsy knife. The visible gear mechanism is cute. Gives the knife a steampunk feel. That’s the only good thing I can say. Overall the knife is clunky and feels tough and uncomfortable in the hand. The blade feels unbalanced and paradoxically the handle is heavy and the blade feels cheap and thin. I have several Drop- sources knives and love most of them. This one was a dud
