Schrade Small Liner Lock Knife Black

For $10 i really can't complain much, there was some slight play with the blade when its locked n the coating on the blade wasn't 100% (some fading near the base), the only thing that I was really disappointed with was the pocket clip; it was a bit loose and was scratched beyond hell just from carrying it in my pocket n leaning up against a few things. I was planning on reselling it to a friend, but with how scratched it got from basic carry I'd feel bad giving it away for free :/

Got this knife. I thought it was going to be smaller, but it's really my fault for not doing more research. The blade doesn't feel as nice as my similarly priced Smith and Wesson. The blade and locking mechanism are both very tight. The special screw to tightening the blade is poorly formed, some of the prongs are mal formed. There was also a residue on both sides of the knife, perhaps even scratching. I can't get it off. This residue is also present on two of the screws that hold the knife together. This is a cheap knife, make no mistake, but it's not a TERRIBLE knife. If you're looking for a daily driver, this should not be in consideration. But as a back up knife, you won't hate yourself for going this route.

I just got this is, and as it is, the knife is hard to close and open with one hand (my primary operation). I assume that it gets looser as time goes on like most knives. But the shape when unfolded is good. The blade is also centered pretty well.
