My first impressions on this little guy: Its very small. When I first held it I kinda felt that it was going to be one of those "fancy schmancy" knives. Boy was I wrong. The Centofante is very durable and very sharp. Stout almost. The assisted opening blade is very fast and it locks very solid. The liner lock knife uses a torsion spring to open this assisted opening knife and can be opened using the thumb stud or the little "nib" that you can push through on the spine of the handle.

I've been able to test out the Centofante designed Warren-Cliff blade out on the field and I really liked how strong the blade is for its size. It didn't even flinch as I cut mayon (soft plastic) tubing and though I try not too use it for opening boxes, it seemed to grab and split them open with finesse. This made easy because of the shape of the blade My only gripe is that I wish it were about and inch larger as I like to have a good hold on a knife while I'm working. It does, however, fit well in my hand and is a great utility style knife for the field or just to add to your collection. The knife features a pocket clip and a safety lock to lock the blade when closed. The knife runs about $40.
