I got this extra large 11" stiletto w/ swing guard as a toy to open letters and such. I was surprised to see that it was made very well. This could be used as an everyday knife if one chose to. The knife is running bronze washers with an adjustable pivot.
This switchblade is actually tight and adjustable. The only loose part of the knife is the swing guards which lock up solid in open and closed blade. I even took a magnet on the swing guard tips so they now magnetically ride the steel knife frame to open to close like they were hydraulic.
I started out with a score of 2/5 just looking at it online but once in hand I found this knife was made within strict tolerances and could be used in a hand to hand combat situation. The adjustable pivot makes this a real quality knife that I really dig. I'm going to need to pick up a 9" before they are gone.
