Review: Better than most knives twice the price, and it only costs half as much as they do! I own 4. - SUMMARY: I currently own two of these knives, and just ordered 2 more to keep in other locations. If you want a folding knife that's great at doing what knives do, and you're on a tight budget, order this thing right now. It is a fantastic hunk of metal. Equally good for keeping in your workshop or for every day carry (check your local laws to make sure you're in the clear first). I think you'd be hard-pressed to find a better knife in this category/style at this price point, and if you have then please let me know where. The "PROS" and "CONS" section of this review are about the same length, but that's more a result of my tendency to ramble. You can stop reading here if all you wanted was the endorsement of a stranger. But you haven't, so let's dive in! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PROS: I love this knife. Comes in simple, no-frills packaging, easy to use, and it's got a beautiful, shave-sharp factory edge on it. To unfold the knife, put your index finger on the protrusion at the top of the back of the handle, and your thumb on the protrusion coming from the blade. Squeeze firmly and move the two fingers in opposite directions. (Most folding knives work this way, but in case this is your first I thought it might be helpful to throw in.) It may be a little stiff when you first get it, but it'll loosen up with use. If you're the impatient type like me, you can adjust the stiffness by fiddling with the Phillips head screw holding the blade and handle together. Just don't ever remove any screws from it entirely (more on that later). Take this part of the review with a grain of salt, because I have giant gorilla paws for hands, but I think it's ergonomically amazing: the way it feels, the way it's balanced, the way it maneuvers between forward and reverse grip, the way you can fine tune the stiffness of the opening mechanism with a simple Phillips head (or, in a pinch, flathead) screwdriver. I've read some complaints about how heavy it is, and I have to disagree. It's a little bit bulky when you hook it to the inside of your front pocket, which can make it a hassle to get your keys or wallet out sometimes, but for me at least, it's the perfect size for EDC (every day carry), and the weight is negligible. Not once have I ever felt like it was putting strain on my back or trying to pull my pants down. If your hands are a bit more petite, or you're looking for something that's closer in size to an apple peeler, search desertcart for "Smith & Wesson SWA24S 7.1in Stainless Steel Folding Knife". It's a quality folding pocket price that costs slightly less and might be better suited to your needs/body. Carrying a knife like this every day is one of those things that, to the uninitiated, might seem frivolous, overcautious, or even paranoid... until you do it for a couple weeks and wonder how you ever got along without it: Opening packaging (annoying blister package, make peace with your god and prepare to taste my blade) Trimming small pieces of vegetation that get in the way when you're working on something outdoors Cutting a length of wire Cutting a stray thread on your clothes. There are lots of other problems that can be solved by a sharp piece of steel, but you get the idea. Those aren't necessarily things that *only* this knife can do, but it does them admirably, and without the cheap feeling of a box cutter. I call them "box cutters" instead of "utility knives" because this is what a real utility knife should be capable of: a sturdy, reasonably compact, multipurpose tool with a simple design that can take a beating. Quick word of warning if you are going to use it for day to day tasks: make sure you don't inadvertently intimidate or frighten other people when you pull it out and pop it open. It has a very "tacti-cool" look to it that makes others automatically assume that it's a murder knife, even though they've got blades 2.5 as long in their kitchen. Once you've owned and carried and used it for awhile, you can have it out of your pocket and ready to cut in a single split second movement that might make people think you're a weirdo who is real into stabbing. You don't want to become known as "the knife dude" by your friends and co-workers. (Or maybe you do. I won't judge you and I won't tell you how to live your life, as long as you're not actually going around stabbing people.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CONS (kind of): I could point to a few drawbacks or flaws if you're even a moderate knife connoisseur, like the fact that sharpening/honing it on a wet stone is slightly trickier due to the shape of the blade. The corners and turns have a tendency to drag little grooves into your stone. If that's how you're going to keep it sharp, watch some videos on YouTube. They'll show you how to keep a blade shave-sharp, and as a bonus, you might even discover that you have ASMR. If you're looking for a 2-in-1 folding knife and saw, keep looking. It IS a sawback blade, but that doesn't mean that the back of the blade is a saw. You couldn't cut pudding with the backside of this knife. If you ever carry this thing clipped to the inside of your pocket, you will immediately realize what a terrible idea it is to have an even moderately sharp saw blade there. If that's what you're in the market for, find a nice multitool (Gerber and Leatherman are both brands I've had good experiences with). So what are those sawtooth looking ridges on the back for? Again, because it's tacti-cool. Another commenter claims they are for cutting through wire fences. You hook the back on to the fence wire and twist until it cuts. I've never used it for that purpose, so I can't give a testimonial as to its efficacy there, but the other commenter seemed like a legit knife dude. I had another hypothesis that this was the "defensive side" of the knife. So, for example, if someone is slashing at you, it'll hook onto their blade when they make contact, and maybe throw them for a loop or, at minimum, chip their blade. I tested this theory out with an old chef's knife that I no longer used, and it did indeed take a small chip out of the blade. In theory, you could chip off enough chunks of their blade to render them knifeless, but in real knife-on-knife action, you'd be trying to thread a pretty small needle, and I wouldn't bet the farm on this ever working. So try not to get into knife fights. The other drawback here is that it is a bit of a pain to disassemble. Or, more accurately, to reassemble. I decided I was going to take mine apart and give it a thorough going over: cleaning, oiling the hard to reach spots so the action was smoother, etc. I spent most of the time looking for a little washer that had fallen on the floor in my haste with the screwdriver. I guess it's kind of a plus that you can take the whole thing apart with a regular old screwdriver, but it's not really worth it. At 14 bucks, if it's ever too ugly or fouled or chipped for your liking, just buy another one. And I'm not just blowing smoke there. I actually just placed my third (and fourth) order for this item, because I like always being within arm's reach of one. None of the other ones have failed in any way, and aside from me not quiiite being able to restore the factory edge, they all still work just as well as they did out of the box. Better actually, because I now have them tuned to my liking. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CONCLUSION: It's a tacti-cool tanto knife, so presumably it holds up in combat. I've never been in a knife fight before, although I have walked through back alleys late at night in neighborhoods where having it out (still folded) and concealed in my hand has made me feel much safer. If you're buying this because you have a knife fight scheduled next week, you should see about cancelling it. Remember the axiom of knife-fighting: "The loser dies in the alley and the winner dies in the ambulance." Seriously, it should be a weapon of last resort. Don't wave it around at people you're having a disagreement with to look tough. That's called "escalation" and it's only useful if you're looking for a quick way to get to the hospital, morgue, or prison cell. Still, if worse came to worse, or a wild animal was staring me down, this is the knife I would absolutely trust with my life (assuming I didn't have access to a gun or 18" sawback machete or kukri or whatever). I would like to test it out as a seatbelt cutter, and I have a clunker that will never run again but has perfectly fine seatbelts in it, so when my new set comes in, I might take a whack at it and then update this review, which is definitely not long enough already. If you are going to keep this in your car to cut seatbelts in an emergency, make sure you keep it in your car in a secure place and don't use it for anything else. You don't want to try to slice yourself free with a knife that has been dulled from slicing cardboard. Unless you know what you're doing when it comes to sharpening knives, you will never get it as sharp as the factory edge, and in an emergency of seatbelt-cutting proportions, you'll want that weight-yet-razor-sharp knife at your side. And even if you do know how to sharpen knives, you don't want that emergency to happen when you swear you were gonna get it sharp again tomorrow. (Extremely) long story short: Buy this thing, and if it doesn't meet your expectations, return it, or just put it somewhere kids can't get to and eat the $14 loss. You can even leave a nasty review calling me an idiot by name. There's no such thing as bad publicity. Review: A quality, sturdy and badass looking blade for the price! - I had been looking at this knife for a while. I finally decided to purchase it and I have to say I am very impressed with the quality! The first thing you will notice about the reviews for this knife is how large people say it is. When I received it and held it for the first time, I was quite happy with the size. It fits well in your hand and the finger grips as well as the texture fit the hand and fingers well when you close your fist around it. The construction feels extremely sturdy and dependable. One review stated they were concerned with the fact that the very tip of the knife protrudes into a lanyard/accessory rail at the back of the knife. In looking at the one I received, this one does also. But, I have to say, its not a deal breaker for me. If your goal is to have a larger folding sturdy knife in your pocket, when would you ever attach an accessory to the end rail? And even if you did, there would be ways around the tip of the knife. One of my favorite parts of this blade is the indentation a third of the way down the knife. Originally I just thought it gave the knife a great tactical look, however once I started using it, it became apparent that this angle is definitely intentional. It provides a great surface for creating the correct cutting pressure in many circumstances. This angle would also provide a great way to use with a firesteel, for creating feather sticks while camping or on the go in the wilderness. The overall knife looks rugged, mean and I am proud to pull it out and use it. There is an opening stud at the top part of the knife, which if you push with a little might, the knife will pop right open. I actually like this feature as it prevents the blade from popping open too easy. I have a M.A.G.I.C. assist knife that I carry sometimes also and I would say that this knife has the capability to snap open just as easy. If you look closely at the handle, there is an exaggerated thumb indentation to provide the proper force to the stud when opening with one hand. The blade came pretty sharp right out of the box, however with any knife I receive, I went ahead and ran it across a honing stone just to get that extra edge. Since using it, I have tested the blades capability to hold an edge and it does a decent job. Once slightly dull, it easily takes to a new edge with little effort. The back edge of the blade has serrations, which are non functional, however this is ok as I don't think this was meant to be a functional capability. It does look cool though! Overall I would say this is an amazing value for the price point! It quickly became a part of my EDC and I would recommend this blade to anyone looking for quality at an affordable price! ## Features - Spring assist folding knife offers rapid one-handed deployment, locks securely into place with liner lock - 4-inch, 4mm thick tanto stainless steel blade with sawback - Black G10 handle - Pocket clip for easy and safe carry - Measures 5 inches closed ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00I2A5GH2 | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #367,336 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #711 in Tactical Knives | | Blade Length | 4 Inches | | Blade Material | Stainless Steel | | Blade Shape | Tanto Point | | Blade Type | Tanto | | Brand | MTECH USA XTREME | | Brand Name | MTECH USA XTREME | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 842 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00805319075035 | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Handle Material | Fiberglass | | Included Components | KNIFE | | Is Product Cordless | Yes | | Item Length | 5 Inches | | Item Shape | Folding | | Item Type Name | MTech USA Xtreme MX-A805 Spring Assist Folding Knife, Black Tanto Blade, Black Handle, 5-Inch Closed | | Item Weight | 0.1 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Master Cutlery Inc. | | Model Name | MX-A805 | | Model Number | MX-A805 | | Part Number | MX-A805 | | Power Source | Manual | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash Only | | Recommended Uses For Product | Fighting | | Reusability | Reusable | | Size | 4" | | Special Feature | Pocket Clip | | Special Features | Pocket Clip | | Style | Modern | | UPC | 805319075035 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | Manufacturer Warranty | ## Product Details - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Fighting - **Brand:** MTECH USA XTREME - **Model Name:** MX-A805 - **Special Feature:** Pocket Clip - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Included Components:** KNIFE - **Handle Material:** Fiberglass - **Color:** Black - **Blade Material:** Stainless Steel - **Style:** Modern ## Images ![MTech USA Xtreme MX-A805 Series Spring Assist Folding Knife, Tanto Blade, 5-Inch Closed - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/516MpQuk1RL.jpg) ![MTech USA Xtreme MX-A805 Series Spring Assist Folding Knife, Tanto Blade, 5-Inch Closed - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61qZjINrT0L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this StatTrak?** A: No. This is a folding knife. The StatTrak that you're looking for is a $40 knife known as the Mtach Xtreme 8054. **Q: Does the lock stay strong over time?** A: Yes it does. The knife is well built, sturdy and strong. The only issue is the belt clip screws coming loose **Q: If I swing it I can here something rattle is it just mine or what?** A: Something is definitely wrong. This knife is so stiff that nothing rattles. **Q: is the top a saw blade and how do you carry it so it doesn't cut you with the top?** A: Yes is is a saw blade, but the way the teeth are cut, I don't think it will cut you. When folded - look at the pix where the blade is folded - you'll see that it's recessed. I've never had issues with pulling it out of my pocket. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Better than most knives twice the price, and it only costs half as much as they do!

I guess I have to push/pull a little harder and faster then what I'm used to. Great weight and sturdy everything with sharp blade that cut the hair off my arm with one swipe. Wish I did it in a less obvious place on my arm though. There's just one major problem with this knife. You won't be able to show it to anybody that likes knifes because everyone I showed it to asked if I was giving it to them. I'm serious, I only held onto it for one day and my homie walked away with it and refused to give it back. Seriously!? He still has it along with the same major problem I had. LOL. I would definitely recommend the knife to any one who likes knives. I would buy it again but it was a bit too big and aggressive looking for the workplace. If you whip it out in a public place, you'll quickly realize the difference between those that don't like knifes at all and those like you who are reading these commentaries. 4 stars because I don't know how it would hold up with time. Happy hunting y'all. ## Frequently Bought Together - MTech USA Xtreme MX-A805 Series Spring Assist Folding Knife, Tanto Blade, 5-Inch Closed - MTech USA Xtreme --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ie/products/1765855-mtech-usa-xtreme-mx-a805-series-spring-assist-folding-knife](https://www.desertcart.ie/products/1765855-mtech-usa-xtreme-mx-a805-series-spring-assist-folding-knife) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ireland* *Store origin: IE* *Last updated: 2026-06-06*
