Well, I had this knife for ~ two months and it has served me well until someone stole it. Not exactly super sharp but the blade and handle are pretty damn sturdy. The coating on the knife makes it pretty rust and stain resistant (the fact that the blade is stainless steel helps too)
Very lightweight too. But the handle is literally just a frame, so the blade gets dirty really easily and clothing can catch on the frame.
The clip is really tight holding too but sometimes it can make getting the knife out a hassle.
As for opening it, it is very tight when you first get it but after working the action for a bit, you can get it to open flawlessly. The frame lock is very sturdy too. A word of note, this knife is NOT intended for left handers. Also, if you have large hands, the small thumbstuds make the knife hard to open.
Finally, the point at the top of the knife makes a handy bottle opener.
All in all, this is a low cost but pretty good knife. Just stay away from it if your knives have to do double duty as a hatchet or something or you have large hands or are left handed.
