My brother carries the silver one. It's a pretty nice knife, he likes it a lot. I've had problems with those little hex screws coming out of knives I've had in the past, but he said when he got it he just cinched them down nice and tight and he's never had a problem with it. According to him, it holds an edge pretty well. I'd consider buying one if I needed a new knife, but I just bought some more recently, so I'll wait. It fits in the hand nicely, pretty nice to use.

All in all, I'd give it a thumbs up. The price isn't bad.

they're alright. i have a fullsize black tanto. it fits the hand well but it's on the bulky side. i prefer my crkt m16-13le tho which has an additional safety on it.

I have the SWAT flashlight and it is garbage. I have the 150th anniversary knife and I don't like it at all. If it wasn't a gift I would throw it out.

S&W knives are very poor quality, with the exception of the Rescue.
