Tac-Force Folding Pocket Knife, 3.25-inch Serrated Rainbow Blade, Black Aluminum Handle, 7.75-inch Overall Length TF-705RB

I purchased this knife to add to my everday carry items (phone, wallet, keys). I wanted this knife primarily for protection and self defense. I am 18 and not of age to buy and conceal carry a handgun so I figured this was the next best thing. I don't know very much about knives, but this knife seems to be very sturdy and well made. It feels good in your hand. The spring assist does its job and alows the knife to be opened one-handed with relative ease. I have only one minor gripe about this knife and it is the placement of the glass breaker. When opening the knife it may poke your hand depending on the placement of your grip, but as I have said it is only minor because in order to avoid this you just have to adjust your grip slightly. I also really like the color of the blade. I was worried it might be a little too feminine, but I was wrong. It gives the knife a unique look that really stands out and looks great for either sex. PROS: Cost Looks Solid Construction Good Spring Assist Perfect Weight Fairly Sharp CONS: Placement of glass breaker may poke the users hand (again, minor but worth noting) I only received the knife today so I cannot speak on how long it lasts, but based on everything that I observe I would be willing to bet it will last some time. Solid knife at a price that cannot be turned down. Would recommend to anyone. Thank you.

I like to think of myself as the Queen of budget buying. This has not always been the case, but due to retirement and being on a fixed income, I get to spend lots of time finding the best thing I can for the best price that doesn't make me say ... "will this mean I don't get to eat when I'm 87?" Well fortunately, this purchase may help with that. Because while I may not have the money to eat when I'm 87, I will have this knife, and will be able to take down rabbits and groundhogs with the spear I will be able to make from it. And then eat them. But I digress. My favorite knife was a Tekna divers knife that I had for many years and strapped it to my thigh or upper arm while ... no, not diving ... camping and hiking throughout the East coast and up into Canada. That knife was a beast. A solid hunk of stainless steel, serrated at the base, skeleton handle, and unbreakable ABS sheath with Velcro straps. Eventually I sold it to a nice guy in Hawaii who was buying it for his grandson whom he was teaching to dive. I'm sure that knife could capably rip through a sharks throat. A better use for it than just sitting around after I stopped camping and hiking as much. I found a Colt branded folder on closeout that I really liked. But I like it so much I didn't want to use it and mess it up. So it stays in a drawer. I have a few Mora knives that are awesome, but I needed a knife that would fold, open quickly, and not be a great loss if it got taken away by zealous authorities wanting to protect society from an elderly motorcycle-riding lady with a knife. So I got this knife. And it is great. Sharp. Pops open easily even with these mildly-arthritic hands. Locks securely. Not tiny, nor light, nor compact, that's for sure. But hey, when I reach into my pocket I can FIND it straight away, no doubts there. Just a great value and you know what? Survivalists say to have a stock of some items to trade for necessities you might not have in case of the zombie apocalypse. What could be MORE tradeable than a cool knife like this? Pop a half-dozen of these in that bugout bag!

I love this thing. So much so that I've bought 4 of them so far. Not because they break or wear out, rather because they are so inexpensive that I immediately replace them every time I misplace one instead of waiting to find it. Speaking of which, I lost one in my yard and found it about 4 months later. I rinsed off the dirt and grime, shook the water out, sprayed it with WD-40 and then wiped it, and you'd never know it had laid in dirt for 4 months. I sharpen it frequently with a pocket knife sharpener and it takes a nice edge quickly and effortlessly and after 6 months, the blade hasn't worn down significantly yet. I'm traveling for 2 weeks and feel lost without a knife, so I'm ordering another and will just leave it at my host's house for then next time I visit. ;)

So I haven't actually had an opportunity to put this to any actual use yet, but just based on general inspection and playing around with it this seems like a pretty nice knife, especially for the price. It has a nice weight to it, feels pretty balanced and nice in my hand (it's a little heavier in the handle than on the blade, the center of balance is a bit past the halfway point - which I like). The screws and hardware and such all look fine, nothing feels loose or doesn't work properly. It is a little bit stiff both opening and closing, personally I like the amount of resistance there is when opening it, it's not too hard to open (somehow a friend of mine - a grown male friend at that - had some issues with it and I ended up having to open it for him but he's kind of an idiot so I think he COULD'VE opened it but was doing something wrong? Even though I'm not sure WHAT you could actually do wrong, it's pretty straightforward...) but it's not so easy that it might come open when it brushes up against something; so as long as you don't have some sort of weird ragdoll fingers that can't press down on things you should be ok haha (I'm sure this could vary some between knives though, so if it WAS too hard to open you could probably either wd40 it or loosen up the blade screw ever so slightly). The lock is a little stiff as well, not horribly so, but I do find myself not pushing it QUITE far enough in and then having to adjust a little more to get the blade folded back in, which only takes an extra fraction of a second so again, not a big deal at all just slightly... not even annoying really, just barely notable enough for me to mention it - also there is still some resistance once you're fully clear of the locking mechanism so you may initially think you haven't fully pushed it aside but once you push down a little harder on the blade it'll fold up just fine. The blade itself is pretty sharp straight out of the box, I'll probably sharpen it some anyway around the tip because I like to keep my knives as sharp as possible at all times but this is by no means necessary, in fact I managed to put a little cut in my thumbnail when I was messing around with it haha and with little to no effort at that. Because of this as well as the price point and quality I think this would be a great 'starter knife', to carry around and try out as an edc to see if you even use it enough to warrant buying a sharpener or a more expensive knife. I also think it would also make a great gift, and you won't need to open the box and sharpen it before you give it to them (in fact I actually bought a second one for my friend). My final thought on this, and I'm sure you will see many other people mention this if you haven't already, is that this thing is SO gorgeous. I got the rainbow/oil slick color, and I knew it would look good just based on other reviewers' pictures, but still figured I'd bring it up because it's just so cool looking in person, everyone who's seen it has commented on it. Overall this is a great buy, I am so happy with it and I think anyone else would be too so I recommend this 100%. I don't really have much to add to what anyone else has already said about this so I'm really just agreeing with all the other people who loved this knife but I hope this was helpful regardless, and I hope everyone reading this has a great day!

I love this knife! I have done so many things with it. From opening paint cans to opening tons of packages. Even digging holes for landscaping stakes. This knife has never failed me and I’ve ordered another for my emergency camp bag. Highly recommend. A great knife for a great price

This is one of the best knives I own. Great quality. I was amazed especially for the price!!!! I ordered another. This is my go to EDC.

I like this knife enough to keep buying it. I've lost a couple, gifted one, bought another color, and one had that needed to be replaced. Other than the latter, they've been sturdy and useful. One of them did fall apart. The screws worked loose and I didn't notice in time to tighten them. They've proven to have been sharp enough for every use so far. The blade size meets the local legal restrictions. The serrated edge is what drew me to this knife. There was an emergency situation in which I needed to cut myself free and I didn't have something like this with me. Now I keep this knife with me, conveniently clipped to my belt. It's a very cool looking knife. I have the rainbow and the black colored blades. I've found multiple uses, household repairs and DIY projects, opening and breaking down boxes, camping, and as an emergency tool while bicycle riding. It's a good idea to keep something like this with you while driving. Just in case of an accident when you may need to cut yourself free from a stuck seatbelt in a hurry or the glass breaker to free others from a vehicle.

Extremely good for the price. Would 100% buy again. Pretty durable and retains a decent edge.

Das Messer liegt ausreichend gut in der Hand, einzig der seitliche Clip stört ein wenig. Die Verarbeitung ist sauber und alles in allem wirkt das Messer robust und stabil. Nichts ist lose oder wackelt. Der Flaschenöffner funktioniert tadellos.

find das Messer top & der Schraubendreher am ende ist eine coole Ergänzung. der Aufdruck stört mich nur nach einer zeit. fände es schöner ohne diesen Aufdruck

Amei muito lindo

Das Messer liegt trotz der Form gut in drr Hand. Die Klinge ist scharf. Die Pinke Farbe hält au h gut, obwohl ich es jeden Zag mehrfach aus der Tasche ziehe. Ich schaff es nicht es einhändig zu bedienen, liegt aber wohl an meinen kleinen Händen. Ich würd es wieder kaufen.

Bereue den Kauf nicht, für diese doch sehr niedrige Preisklasse qualitativ doch beeindruckend. Würde es wieder kaufen. Vorsicht aber - dank Federunterstützung wäre dieses Messer in Deutschland nicht legal an öffentlichen Orten zu führen
