Smith & Wesson's S.O.R.T. series (this stands for Special Operations Rescue Team) is a high quality knife series wtih top quality materials and the great craftmanship you expect from and S&W knife. The SWSORT is a mid sized spring assisted knife featuring a "toggle" type switch to open it. You pull the spine toggle towards you and the blade swings out amazingly fast. The blade locks into place with a liner lock. I normally don't really like liner lock models, this is a personal preference, but this particular series actually locks in nice and tight and aren't too difficult to release when you want to close the blade. I really like the textured aluminum handles. The knife is thin, but the pattern on the handle makes for really good gripping power when you need to have a little extra strong grip on the knife. The knife has a good solid blade lock on the front of the handle. It also comes with a pocket clip. Open, the knife rings in at 6.25", which is a nice size for pocket carry. I think this is a great knife. If you prefer a little smaller knife you can go with the smaller version of this same knife. I rate this an 4.5 out of 5. A great knife from a great company.
