First of all, I want to mention the first-class service of the White Mountain Knife. Thanks!

As for the knife, reading all those glorifying reviews I expected more. The Tri-Ad Lock is not that rock solid (as advertised in many reviews) there is a small movement when you grab the tip of the blade and the handle (the knife is open) and start applying alternating pressure the opening-closing way. It probably won't compromise integrity of the lock but it's present. I tried to fix it by tightening the pivot screw, it is almost gone (still existing), but now opening of the knife is very stiff. Might be that the lock will fit better during the time, but for now that is the situation.
Considering all those previously written and for this price range and materials used (didn't have opportunity to extensively test them) for this knife the rating is 3 stars.

This knife is an excellent value. It comes very sharp, one hand operation is smooth and easy, and the lock up when open inspires confidence. This is my second. Highly recommend.

another great offering from Cold Steel and White Mountain Knives razor sharp great action and that fantastic Triad Lock thank you for your great customer service and fast shipping Justin 20STARS******************** :-)
