9 inch Chinese swing guard

Post by LD57 »

I ordered a 9 inch version of the 11 inch swing guard auto that was reviewed in another thread.
I received it earlier this week and have had a chance to play with it. Pictures are below.
Overall, not bad. The snap is decent, the lockup is tight, no wobbles. I like the blade profile and it’s centered when closed. The swing guards are a little loose (sigh). The front bolster has 2 screws, so it looks a little cluttered to me. The scales and back bolsters are pinned.
The fit and finish could be better, of course, but not bad for a $25 knife. I think I got my money’s worth.
The 9 inch size is definitely more pocket-friendly.

If they didn't put "AKC" on it, it would be fine (for what it is).

Nice BUT the AKC makes it a non starter for me.
