Being a trucker that’s very much “Hands on freight”, this knife is a great work cutting tool!! Having the lock fail is NEVER a worry thought for me! I’m definitely going to be purchasing more Cold Steel knives/tools!!

This knife came extremely sharp right out of the box. No visible defects at all. The triad lock feels like it's already worked in and the action opening the blade is smooth. It easily shaved off my arm hairs. I look forward to putting this to light to hard use, as I work in construction and use a folding knife daily. Very happy with my choice. I think a tanto version of this knife would also kick butt.
