Everything I Was Looking For
By D. Back
I don't own many knives, but all that I was looking for I found in this knife. I know what quality is and this has a solid feel. After carrying it around for a couple of weeks the finish is showing no signs of early wear. Opening action feels quick and almost effortless when held properly, but it requires enough force that you would ever worry about it opening accidentally. It's easy to conceal with the high-rise clip, and thin enough that it isn't a burden when worn IWB. That dark clip is hard to notice against jeans and behind a belt. On top of all of that, it's sharp enough to shave arm hair off with it (literally).The only downside I've found so far is that the safety lock has been engaged accidentally a couple of times, which probably happened while clipping it to the waistband. If a main concern is being able to get it out and open very quickly, you may want to take that into consideration. Not a concern for me, and I know the feel of it well enough already to be able to flick the safety lock off in darkness. On that same token, the clip is rather tight and it take a hefty tug to pull it off a waistband or pocket. While a minus when it comes to getting it out quickly, it's a plus that I don't have to worry about losing it on a rollercoaster.

Not as nice as I expected...
By Joe Bellamy
I think this is a great knife, but there is a little play between the blade and handle. I own several of the smaller Twitch knives, and when they're open, they have a rock solid feel. On this knife, the blade is a little sloppy. You can make it tighter by adjusting the screw, but then the blade doesn't spring open properly. Still a great knife.

Twitch XL
By Michaelgrover1018
This knife is the bigger brother to the Twitch II. All of the mechanisms function smoothly and the spring is robust unlike the Twitch II.
