I ordered it on the 2nd and got it earlier today, so in short pretty decent delivery speed. It was bigger than i thought, but im not a thinker then again. Its sharp, shiny, and a damn good knife. Surprisingly light considering the size. Super easy to open and close unlike most. Its a sweet knife, a real attention grabber(if your an attention whore) and i did i tell you its wicked cool. First timers might go a bit nuts when they see it(a quick slap on the hand should fix that). I like waaaaay more than my other one. Before I Forget, its a great value.

There must be two versions of this knife because most of the reviews are very good and imply that the knife is very inexpensive for the high level of its quality, but some are pretty bad based upon the low level of quality. My experience is that the quality is pretty low, but then, I got what I paid for. I also think the poor quality of this knife may take a little time to become apparent, but here are my problems with it after several days of ownership:
* The knife is stylish but all of the edges on the laminated metal and plastic parts of the handle have sharp edges such that you can actually give yourself small cuts by letting the handle slip against your fingers or by gripping the handle too tightly in the wrong places. I was able to correct this with a small Dremel grinding drum. It took about 15 minutes to get the handle edges partially rounded and smooth.
* I decided that I did not need the clip which is held on by 3 hex screws. Upon making sure I had a tight fit of the hex wrench in the screw head, I started to turn the screw with very mild torque and immediately stripped the hex head. I tried the next screw and got the same result. I do not know of what metal these screws are made, but it is so soft that the screws cannot be removed. I have never run across a metal this soft being used for screws. They are junk.
* Initially the blade was very difficult to flip open even with the use of the thumb push. This was solved by just a little oil and working it back and forth about 20 times.
* About 1 ½ days later the blade began to wobble at its connection with the handle. This situation deteriorated to the point that the knife was a danger to its user. The loose blade was caused by 2 hex screws that had loosened, one on each side of the handle. Given my previous experience with the soft metal hex screws, I almost decided to send it back to Amazon as junk. However, these hex screws were almost twice as big as the ones that immediately stripped. Using all possible caution I was able to tighten these screws to eliminate the wobble without stripping the screws.
* When I first got the knife, the blade was dull. I sharpened it as best I could, but once again the "stainless steel" was too soft to hold a decent edge. My test for sharpness is to hold a piece of paper in one hand while slowly slicing the paper on its edge. The blade was able to do this 4 times. I tried to do this again and the paper could no longer be sliced but it would tear. I tried several more times and the paper continued to be torn. I have never seen a knife go dull so rapidly. As another test of the blade, I put a small drop of water on it and let it sit until the water evaporated (about 25 minutes). When I returned there was a spot on the blade where the water was. I tried to rub it off with my thumb, and then tried a small amount of alcohol and then a small amount of soapy water. The stain would not come off. I imagine stainless steel polish could work but I have not tried that yet. So, I have a knife that will not stay sharp that is made from stainable stainless steel.
The final lesson is that I got a $6 knife for $12, but it looks like it is worth quite a bit more. In today's world spin, image and perception all seem to trump reality. I suspect some of these newer points of view may have leaked into some of the Amazon product reviews because based upon the Amazon pictures and reviews, I would have paid more. I'm glad I didn't.

if u use it right then it will last but if u continuously whip the blade out you'll snap a piece off the back.

This is a great knife. Closed, this folding knife is five and a half inches long, one and a half inches wide, and a third of an inch thick. It fits easily into a pocket or a pocket book. Open, the blade is four inches long. It weighs about as much as a ceramic coffee cup.
I read other comments about the Matrix Knife being hard to open. The package came today and out
of the box, new and not used, I put it into my right hand and snapped my wrist outwards to the right, and
it snapped open and locked in the blink of a eye. It felt good in my hand. It is a real knife.
I put pressure on the back of the knife and it was secure and tightly locked. The design is well
thought out. If you were attacked by a cougar in the mountains, the blade would be in your hands
within a second, and the edge of the sharp part of the blade closest to your hand has a blood drip line, so your will not get blood on yourself or soil your clothes. The drip zone is the serrated part of the blade which is curved. Just think of the Gurkha blade design and look at one of those knifes on Amazon.com.. That Gurkha Knife has a blood drip notch also on the inner curve and close to the handle. They call that knife a Khukuri.
The Khukuri look very similar to the Spartan Sword used by the troops of Alexander The Great.
The Matrix has stainless 440 CHINA stamped on the blade. It is a quality product. I would buy it again.
