My biggest grip about this or any other knife with a phillips screw driver is mouting on the bottom side with the resulting "T" formation... really decreases the utility of that blade

There is no other milling on the inside of the scales, so the cutouts are the only weight relief. There's a lot of material here and while it feels substantial in hand, the balance makes it feel and handle lighter than it's true weight. It will be noticeable in the pocket as it's a bit on the thicker side. However, the pocket clip is really nice and has plenty of room for pockets with thicker material

I think this is my forth Swiss Army knife. I like going ultra light, so whenever I lose a Swiss Army knife, I look for something else that might be lighter with fewer features that I don't really need. I just want a knife and scissors and the tweezers and bottle opener are a bonus. It comes in lighter than any comparable knife I can find

I usually have to relube the pivot on Kizer flippers, but this one flips perfectly without having to lube it. The detente is perfect-stiff but not overly stiff. The only slight bad part is that the anodizing is not even on the handle. It looks good, but it is not even

sharpener works well on steel blades i've used it on grass shears and plant clippers even scissors with good results aluminum blades will take more testing. again only problem is handle with care . droping can lead to brakage.

Lastly if your finger cant open a high end Kizer send it back. It's not a switchblade and one should never have to flip a good Kizer.

The super tinker is exactly the right all purpose knife for my lifestyle. I also now have one of the blade locking models as well. For quality, durability these knifes still maintain that tradition without disappointment. It is an investment well worth the price

I could go on and on but the point is I feel I'm getting the most bag for my dollar from Kizer. Lastly if your finger cant open a high end Kizer send it back. It's not a switchblade and one should never have to flip a good Kizer. I've torn mine apart just to find the simplest of construction

The price was much better than the price I have paid elsewhere for the same knife. I buy these to give to my friends who are retiring and need a mobile tool kit like this.
