888 professional S.O.L. knife

[Matt1911]

Anybody have one? Know of the quality, ect....
I like collecting folding knives to transition in my everyday carry and I will use it as a screwdriver, chisel, hammer, bottle opener and occasionally I'll cut stuff with it so I don't have any use for a knife that's not going to be able to handle chores not meant for it.

The 888 S.O.L. has caught my eye so I was wondering if anyone had experience with them before I order one. (if I can find one, they're sold out a lot of places right now)
I know it's only $30 and wouldn't be a huge loss to just get it and try it myself, but if it's junk then I'd rather not waste my money on it when I could have bought more ammo instead so any feedback would be appreciated.

Is that the one with the little double edge blade?

 

[Matt1911]

Yep. I'm also thinking about the survivIT tool. For the price of both of them, it's still cheaper than my Benchmades.
Here's their lineup:

That BFT is bad ass.

 

[Matt1911]

Yep, not too shabby. The prices of these knives are making them look even better, I just wonder though if this is a case of "too good to be true" ya know?

 

[Burk Cornelius]

Are they imported?

 

[Matt1911]

Says they're located in San Diego so that's good. At least it's not made in china or taiwan.

 

[Matt1911]

The reviews on their website seem positive, but that could all be a bunch of bs.

 

[Matt1911]

Tell ya what Burk. Since you seem like you're interested in em too, lets both get one and do a review in a couple months after some hard use.
