Wartech Buckshot Knives Thumb Open Spring Assisted Cleaver Classic Pocket Knife

This knife has been mind blowing levels of quality and all around excellence for the price. I've paid $50+ for knives that weren't as solid as this.I've had it for 3 months and have broken down hundreds of boxes (the hard way, by cutting the cardboard) and it's still impressively sharp. I've made it my go-to knife while doing yard work and all around tasks that are not blade friendly. It has held up impressively well and has only started to move from absurdly sharp to normal levels of very sharp.

Great knife. Classic feel with a modern blade. I’ve used it a great deal and it hasn’t needed sharpening, but the blade is actually a good distance away from the handle allowing for it fo be sharpened easier. The pin that is meant to allow for thumb opening is useless. It is too close to the fulcrum to get leverage and too close to the handle to get under to push it. Fortunately, the Damascus version is etched with a Damascus styling that you can just push against lower on the blade allowing for much easier opening. I would never use this knife had that not been the case. The knife looks absolutely gorgeous, and I love to just look at it. As far as negatives, cutting through something might cause the blade to catch bits of that something in the etchings of the Damascus style, and the blade doesn’t come to the most functioning point (but I expected that, so I’m not favoring it). It is a sturdy and rugged enough to use for working, and visually appealing enough to want it always on me. I am very satisfied.

The knife is very sharp, I bought it to help me open boxes and cut cords for boxes. I think it is a bit stiff when opening but that is ok, it won't open up while in my pocket and slice my leg open when I am walking around. I found that if your wife is not ok with sharp objects or doesn't see the need for such a thing, she got very very angry but, it worked out in the end. This knife is not going to be a ton of use for cutting certain things as it is a slicing blade but it is very unique and I love it.

Got this knife after seeing it on a YouTube channel. No I carry it every day. Great looking knife and has held a decent edge through my use and very little sharpening. If you are expecting the fit and finish of a 200 plus dollar knife, well then you are really needing to rethink how you buy things.. But for a good looking knife under 20.00 it is very hard to beat.

Nice knife, looks pretty sweet, like a new fancy version of an old western barber shop razor.However, the blade actually hit the bar holding the frame together. It actually put a noticeable ding in the edge. It does actually say designed in USA on the blade, so I have to blame an American because it seems like a design flaw. Perhaps the Chinese put the crossbar in the wrong spot, who knows.This knife does not have a finger flipper, it does have the thumb knob. I find this to be difficult to operate as the button is small and very close to the body of the knife, making it difficult to get a grip on. Again, seems like a design flaw to me.I have not had it long enough to evaluate the blade fully.

For a $20 knife I am VERY impressed with the craftsmanship of this knife. I was honestly expecting a piece of junk that I would send back for a refund when I found out it was made in China. But I was pleasantly surprised that I was wrong.Keep in mind this is a $20 blade, and not a microtech, Benchmade, etc.... I suspect the blade won’t keep an edge well but it is built VERY well and sturdy. It’s and assisted opened knife, and only complaint, probably because of cheap cost, is it’s difficult to open with supplied thumb studs on blade. I did once almost slice my thumb after I finally got blade opened because of difficultly.With all that said, I would definitely purchase again!

I really like this knife. Its heavy and cuts box's like their made of butter. Has a good feel in your hand and rides in your pocket good. Its a little stiff to open but the more you do the easier it gets. A little bit of rem oil on the hinge also helps.

The only thing that took a star away is it’s not full Damascus. The blade itself is but the rest of the steel isn’t though it’s laser etched to look like it is. Very happy with the sharpness. Other reviews saying it’s impossible to open with one hand are correct. The thumb assists on either side of the blade are useless. You have to pull it open from the blade itself. Looking closer at the Damascus metal folding it looks like it’s very thin. Maybe folded ten times or so but for the price that’s expected. Over all not a bad pocket knife.
