Harnds Assassin Pocket Knife Flipper 14C28N Steel Blade G10 Handle Folding Knife Ball Bearing with Pocket Clip

It would cost a lot of money to get a higher quality knife than this one.I just went through a binge phase of buying knives, and of the dozen or so that I now own... this is my favorite. Great steel for the price, absolutely amazing action, and detailed to near perfection. It's quite sharp out of the box, the blade is perfectly centered, and has a good lockup. After adjusting the pivot screw a tiny bit, it's nearly impossible to not flip it, smoothly falls shut with a gentle shake, and has zero blade play. It's seriously incredible-- there is not a sharp edge on this knife where there shouldn't be, pocket clip seems to be good quality, and there are only two screws to disassemble it.The only problem is that I now want all four color variants that they're currently offering.I am incredibly impressed by this knife at this price point. You will not regret purchasing it!

Initial thoughts:1. I actually wanted the blue-gray G10 handles with the titanium finish and got the black/ satin by mistake. I’m not sure I feel like messing around returning this and ordering the right one. I like satin blade finishes better anyway because they don’t show scratches or scuffs when you sharpen them, whereas I’ve sharpened knives with a coating with one of those electric sharpeners (don’t recommend necessarily) and they get all wonky-looking. Just wish I had ordered the blue/ gray handle, because I don’t like the “tacticool” look of black stuff that much.2. It flicks out smoothly and locks up solid. No complaints there.3. One thing I wasn’t sure about was the takeup on the closing. At first, I was worried that a little pressure on the flipper was going to slowly open it on accident so it could either get hooked into your pocket or leave an edge to slice a thumb. The bearing is super smooth and had me worried it wasn’t “safe” but after carrying it a few days, it seems like it’s stiff enough to need intentional deployment.4. I really love G10 material. This is my second knife with it and it’s just got a perfect balance of sturdiness and “grippiness.”5. Thing is sharp AF from factory. I wish I could sharpen all my knives this well.6. I really like the way it rides in my pocket. It’s slim enough that it doesn’t take up much real estate or feel like I’m gonna catch my hand on it all the time digging stuff out of the bottom of my pocket.TL;DR: 9/10 from me. Wish it was blue, but it feels like a solid performer for $42 (at time of writing).Time will tell how it holds up.

I paid a good amount of $ to have a knife custom made. This is a better quality knife in all regards, except for the handle, which is metal on the custom knife. DO NOT HESITATE to purchase this knife. Flipper is smooth as snot on a glass sidewalk.The pocket clip broke. I contacted Harnes via email, no response. I would like to replace the pocket clip. ??????

I had been looking at the Benchmade Arcane 490, but I every one I looked at had an off center blade, and I could not justify the cost. I saw this one, which had good reviews, and at about twice what tax would have cost on the Arcane, I figured I would take a chance. It arrived today, and I have to say I got more than I expected. Sure, it does not have the S90V steel of the Arcane, but it makes the same sound when opening, and locks up very nicely. The fit and finish are out of this world for a knife at this price point, and blade centering is as good as it gets. I appreciate knives from CRKT and Kershaw all the way to up to Microtech, as long as they are well built. I'm glad I took a chance on this one because it is probably the best looking and functioning budget knife I have ever bought, and it does not look like a budget knife at all. Maybe time will reveal some shortcomings, but so far, this one is a winner all day long!

Knife looks really good,seems to be made well. Fit my hand really well too. But I had a hard time opening the knife. It closes easily, blade falls own its own. So the blade isn't in a bind or anything. It's centered just fine. But I still had a hard time opening it up. Sometimes I could do it on the 1st try sometime s it took me 2or 3 times to open it. If they got with Kershaw and their assisted opening,this would be a great knife. But I have to send it back,when I press the flipper ,I expect it to open.

I just received my Harnds Assassin knife today and I am very impressed with the quality and value of this knife. My knife arrived very quick and was shaving sharp out of the box. The flipper action is easy and fast and locked firmly in place. Release of the lock is very easy and the blade will fall back to closed with almost no effort. Make sure to keep your fingers clear😂 Also the blade stays closed unless you flip it, it doesn’t open on its own. I looked at this knife for months before deciding to hit the buy button, very glad I did. My new EDC🤗

Knife seems well made BUT the flipper is stiff and sticky and instead of opening with authority, opens so softly it will barely lock open. When closing, the liner lock is not only almost too stiff to use but interferes with the blade by rubbing it when trying to close.It's a pretty knife, but unless you want a $40 wall hanger, you might look into something else.

The opening is so smooth, easy and quiet. Nice and sharp out of the box. Handle is comfortable, too. It has become one of my favorite pocket knives (and I have quite a few, some pretty pricey). It rides nicely inside of my front-button shirt. Folks think I have a pen there. Very nice gentleman's pocket knife, IMHO.A coworker tried it and I had to order him one, too.
