When I received this knife, it did not need to be sharpened. I think the added weight and size is worth it, because I will use this knife for heavier tasks than I would not use a typical Swiss army style knife for. This is a little larger and little heavier than many people would want to carry. The knife is 4.25" closed, and 7.5" opened. It has a wider blade than most small pockets knives. I know some people have a negative opinion of liner locks, but I have owned many and have never had a problem with them. The knife has a liner lock, but no barrel lock. The result is that the knife appears to be like a switchblade, but unlike a switchblade, this knife is safe and legal. When you push the paddle to open the knife, you will feel slight resistance, but when the blade has become partially opened, the spring kicks in and pushes the blade into the opened position. To open the knife, you hold it in your hand and press the paddle with your index finger. It's a small tooth that protrudes from the backside of the blade. This prevents the knife from opening when it's in your pocket. When the knife is sitting in the closed position, the spring applies constant pressure on the blade to hold it in the closed position. It keeps the knife closed, and it assists the knife to open. The assisted opening works great! There is a spring in the handle that serves two purposes. The Tanto blade was made for tasks like that. I could potentially use it to open a can of food if I find myself camping without a can opener. Cutting open food packaging, paracord, rope, tape, whittling sticks for roasting marshmallows. I have no need for a tactical knife, but the style is very unique and the knife still functions well for all the things that I use it for. The Tanto style tip offers increased tip strength for plunging and stabbing motions. Tanto blades are usually found on tactical knives.
