I have a silver one , it is VERY LONG in the pocket but very light.

Reason I was asking is that I now am on my 3rd one in 2 month's. I had checked reviews on Net and it seems the earliest had all types of trouble but alledgedly they have improved on the New Ones?

 

Bought the 1st one 2 months ago and used it only to play with and open letters and cut boxes but for whatever reason every 4 days it would not flip open and I had to open manually and then it worked again 3-4 days then same prob and 1 day when flipping it the spring broke and fell out!

 

The Safety would always slide up and down by itself so I sent it in they sent a new one and the blade was off-center and and lock button worked better but there was a prob with the lever/lock release not working properly where it would not slide under lock bar oiling did not help.

 

Had it only 2 days and somehow the little bar on frame which snaps and locks bottom of blade broke and went in under spring and locked the blade so I sent it back and got my 3rd one which so far all is well and the blade lock/release works fine and the locking slide part is harder to engage as it should be.

 

I really love this knife but am wondering and hoping I got a New Model which will be OK!

 

I had checked reviews and the early ones had many probs but Nutnfancy really liked it but he had a new one, just never had so many probs with a knife never really used for anything.

Mine is about 6 months old , no problems.

Great! Sounds like you got the new model as I think I finally did!
