TAC Force TF-809 Series Spring Assist Folding Knife, Two-Tone Blade, 4.5-Inch Closed

Awesome knife for the money

The knife works great. The skull fell off when I touched it.

I've ordered more than 40 knives from Tac Force and have only been disappointed once. This knife looks good (even for a hard plastic handle). I used it almost every day while being deployed. The clip on the side keeps it firmly in place in the side pocket and it is always there when I grab for it, no need to even look. It opens quick and easy with one hand and locks into place. The blade on this model seems just a bit more heavy duty compared to some of the other knives, something I rather like. Don't seem to have to sharpen it that often, so it is very likely that I'll look to get this one again in the future if the need arises.

Good

Lets get one thing out of the way first...........Tac Force and Mtech are owned by the same company Master Cutlery. Each is an extension of the parent company with Mtech supposedly being the higher end. Having said that Tac Force offers a few knives that are actually pretty decent for the money. Plus, serrated edges have become all the rage too. I would like to see more straight edge offerings like this knife. And, speaking of this knife it appears that this does pass the grade in making it an EDC knife. More so due to the seat belt cutter and glass breaker. I was somewhat surprised that this knife was not razor sharp. I was able to put a nice edge on though with not too much trouble. Love the design. Eye catching for sure. Like the blade too. Wish they made this in a slightly larger version. For the price it will work just fine. The speed assist is a little better than some other Tac Force models I've purchased as well.

Price point was nice. The knife needed worked on right out of the box. The blade lock would not engage until bent into place. The knife was very stiff and spring assist was not able to overcome the stiffness. Once I took it apart and adjusted it worked well and the blade was very sharp. Overall a nice knife for the price if you don't mind doing a little work.

For the price it is a good knife.

well built. The picture looks like a wood handle, It's not. The picture looks better. That being said. After a couple of quick strokes on my sharping stone. It would shave hair on my arm. The grinding on the blade looked perfect as did the quality of the blade and action of the knife. I gave this as a gift so I don't know how well it holds a edge. But if I needed another knife I would purchase this again.Maybe with a different handle.
