Smith & Wesson M&P OTF Spring Assisted Spear Point Knife Tan (3.5" Black)

After playing with it a few days, I noticed the blade hanging up. First time it was a penny that had slipped inside next to the blade. The second time it was the screw that attaches the thumb slide was loose. I reassembled it with some loctite and so far it seems to be okay. I just have to remember remove my change from the pocket it rides in. A nice solid single action otf knife.

I have been carrying this knife as my edc for several months. It's a good knife for the price. I have had the safety switch off just by walking, twisting and turning etc. That I didn't like so much but it's never gone off in my pocket so that's good. Some wear will show from every day carrying it like the clip and switch for me anyway. But overall it's a great sturdy otf knife for the price and I still am every day carrying it to this day! And thanks bladehq for a great knife overall.

also picked this bad boy up in the anniversary sale. First off just reading the specs doesn't really tell how big this thing is. It nearly gets to the bottom of my pocket. The action is pretty good it is single so has to be manually retracted. The lock open is nice seems to firm up the blade play issues OTF knives have. Being a single action it is very easy to deploy. Not sure I would buy it again but will look good in my collection.

I got what I expected with this knife. I was curious and I wanted to see how it compared to other low-cost knives like the boker kalashnikov automatic knifes (which are not my favorite). Unlike the high end OTF knives, the M&P is big and clunky and heavy, and the glass breaker is just a silly feature in my opinion. Of course I'm comparing it to a Benchmade Infidel which really isn't fair. The M&P is a single action OTF, you have to manually retract the blade. I knew that going in. The deploy is smooth and the blade is tight. Lots of switches on this knife, safety lock, release button, retractor... but, if you want an OTF and you're on a budget, then this is an okay choice. Gonna ruin your pocket as an EDC.
