The fit and finish are horrendous, and when fully open, the blade wobbles like someone that just drank 3 pints of Jack Daniels. And for whatever reason, this is my go-to knife for all things "garage". Go figure...

My "Go-To" Knife...
I have many different brands of knives: Case-Buck-Moore Maker-GEC-Bark River-TOPS-Hess-Kershaw, etc. But in my garage, the knife I depend on the most is this one. A cheap plastic handled knife, the kind you'd find in a souvenir shop for $4.99 at any and all tourist traps. A friend gave this to me many years ago after he went to Alaska.

Is that wobbly blade a danger to use? (cut yourself ) I have one of my dad's old Army knife and I use
it for only certain uses since it also has a wobble. (eg I don't use it to cut carpet, cardboard boxes,
etc). I never consider it my "go to" knife.

Re: My "Go-To" Knife...
Well Bob, I just used that analogy for "Dramatic Effect", but it does wobble a bit more than I'm used to. I do thank you for your concern though.

Re: My "Go-To" Knife...
Yep...I have several 'off the wall' styled knives that work very well for odd jobs and a quick grab to get the job done. These blades take a nice edge when needed and keeps it, if not overly abused. If the knife gets the job done, then it's a serviceable tool.

Re: My "Go-To" Knife...
I’d be okay with it except for that blade wobble. Life's too short for that.

I have several "beaters", in strategic locations. At least yours has a connection to a friend.

I’m with Dogg on this one - I only carry high quality knives (Buck, Case, Schrade USA) and use them for the job at hand. (Not intended as a put down or condescending remark - just my way of doing things). OH
