Overall, I like the look and function of this knife. 14C28N is a bonus for the price point. The decorative pivot collar and backing are a touch of class. Lock-up is solid, about 50% and there is no side-to-side or lock-rock. I'm guessing they named it Assassin for marketing to teenagers. After all, it does resemble the Boker Kwaiken. For such a minimal flipper tab, I would expect more aggressive jimping. I agree with the other review's criticism about the pocket clip. It is a deep carry, loop over clip. But the clip is only fastened by one screw and I can see how it is potentially problematic. I would buy this again for myself if it had a lanyard hole and they did something better for a pocket clip.
This is the older model with the addition of a pocket clip. It looks as if Harnds simply screwed a pocket clip into the G-10 handle to update it - something the original model should have had in the first place. Furthermore, it doesn't appear that the pocket clip has been countersunk in order to avoid the clip rotating. Forget this model if you were hoping for a decent pocket clip.
