(More customer reviews)Smith & Wesson model CK6A with satin finish drop tip blade, and natural aluminum anodized, micro-serrated handle.
This is a mid-size tactical pocket folder, yet seems larger in the hand. Fit and finish are outstanding. The handle is joined by small torx screws seated flush and even on both sides, with a large torx screw securing what appears to be a robust blade pivot. The handle surface is an attractive, crisply executed cross-hatch groove pattern that creates a jewel-like effect. Inside the aluminum scales are 1/6" steel liners on both sides with a small spring-tang "liner lock" on the right side that snaps in behind the open blade to lock it solidly without play or wobble.
The blade is an honest 3.5" long, by just under 1" broad, and 1/8" thick along the spine, with a drop-point design that yields a blade suitable for tactical needs. The blade is activated in one of two ways. Either by pushing against the large, 3/8" diameter knurled thumb "wheel" mounted on the spine by torx screw, or using the index finger to rake down along the spine, pressing against the blade guard which in the closed position extends slightly through and above the handle. Using the index finger method seems natural, followed by a quick wrist flip to swing the blade open into lock--very fast and solid. And it is here that S&W's characteristic attention to detail comes through. All operations are smooth, with solid "clicks" where appropriate.
Blade finish is satin brushed with the S&W logo laser etched onto the left side.
The knife is quite light...feeling much lighter in the hand than its rather ample size would suggest, and so rides in a pocket without pulling, yet this limits the knife's combat use to blade specific work since there isn't much mass to use the pommel end for strikes.
There is a nicely shaped, strong, spring-steel pocket clip attached by three small torx screws on the right side of the handle, mounted near the pommel end so when clipped in a pocket allows the knife to ride blade end down for a more natural "draw" than those with the clip mounted reversed.
Overall an impressive knife, and while the Amazon price is reasonable, this knife can be found through a variety of other sellers for much less...I picked up this one from an ebay seller for just $12....no more than the cost of most "el-cheapo" imports, yet for a branded knife from a reputable maker.
It seems most S&W knives these days are being built in China, but don't worry...S&W has managed to keep its legendary quality intact
