Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This knife is all but an abomination. I purchased more than 5 working as facilities engineer when they first arrived on the market more than 6 years ago. I bought a few more later on to see if it was just a manufacturing issue or a design issue.....it's both. Here's some highlights. From a stability view, the knife is quite robust and has a solid feel. From a usability side, this this thing is horrible. The die cast design is poor at best. Many of the knives I bought provided extreme difficulty in retracting and extending the blade without a doubt. Some of the knives simply wouldn't move. Inserting the blade is not intuitive but does work IF the current blade doesn't jam in the unit upon twisting the cover open (infrequent). If you put the blade in wrong, watch your fingers, the cover binds and the blade proves a bit dangerous to extract. My recommendation: Stanley should have stopped selling these things shortly after launching. A plastic housing may have been more user friendly.
