I have the S&W "Extreme Ops" automatic. 2nd from left in photo.
420 steel blade. It does a good job of hanging on the wall as part
of my little "collection".
I have had a few over the years, they were descent knives but certainly not the best I've had. That is the way I feel about most knives that bare gun company's logos and don't actually make them.
I just like the S&W name and have bought a number of the Smith & Wesson China made knives at very reasonable prices ie Closeout prices. They are very able to do what I need a knife to do. If one does work well I have plenty more to try. I haven't had a problem yet so most of mine are new in the box or plastic wrap.
