Pros & Cons

Pros

If you want a biggish knife that does most of everything a pocket knife should do, this is for you. The pocket clip is a little bit tight, but i plan on either bending it out or grinding a little metal off of it. Comes with left side carry clip, too.

Premium steel, strongest lock and comfortably sculptured grips. Triad lock is vault solid but also unlocks as smooth as it opens.

For a folder it’s a beast. But this ad10 is a little more manageable for edc.



Cons

Buyer beware. No hassel, very easy to do for a full refund.
