Product Description
Got this to keep in the vehicle in case of emergency, which is probably what the Humvee HMV-KC-ER1 is best suited for. Out of the box I noticed that 2 of the 3 retaining screws on the side are loose and that the blade pivot action is too tight and needs to be loosened slightly. It looks like I need about a T8(?) torx (which I only have as small as a T10) to accomplish all the above. The blade also seems to be aligned at a slight angle vertically. The grind on the blade is not even and way off near the point. Finally the liner lock over centers when you wrist-flick it open and becomes too hard to release one-handed with my thumb. For the $18-$19 I paid, I was hoping for a little better quality. I should be able to fix most of these easily barring the screws aren't stripped out, but I shouldn't have to be fixing things on a brand new knife. It otherwise feels fairly solid and does not have any blade play (otherwise it'd be going back for sure). I am keeping it only for the fact that it won't be an everyday carry and if something happens to it I really don't care just as long that it works as designed if I ever need it to.
