Pros & Cons
Pros
For a sub $30 pocket knife it feels and performs like one twice its price. It's worth every penny. It is a bargain if you can buy it for under $25!
Pocket clip starts out a little firm but eventually loosens up a bit. Clip bolts (3) will need a little loctite and tightening. Not too heavy or light weight.
The blade is great, holds a decent edge but is easy to sharpen when it does dull. Always kept it at hair shaving sharpness. My only complaint, and it's nitpicking really, is that my blade is just a tad off center. Easy to sharpen.
When closed, the knife body is very smooth without a quick assist nub to catch on things. The action for one handed opening and closing is silky smooth.
Great little pocketknife. I'm picky about pocket knives, and this knife is very well made. Aus-8 is good enough for me.
Cons
The blade has about a 1/4 inch of blade play when opening/ closing the knife. The bottom scale on the handle moved as if it was loose, sometimes this happens and i just use a torx or allen wrench and tighten it with some blue loctite no big deal.
The lure of owning an ontario rat was too much. The liner is so small and the port so small that it takes a considerable amount of force to open. Opening boxes and light work only, not for anything rugged.

The quality and sharpness are unbelievable for the price
The knife arrived with the blade off center though not touching
Ontario makes good quality folding knives in taiwan and poor quality fixed blade knives in the usa
