smith&wessons are made by taylor and they very wildly in quality. I have a few and some are complete trash and others are usable. I have one with a tanto blade and a g10 handle thats pretty decent actually, it still has a 440c blade, so nothing to brag about there.

They are made by Def's favorite cutlery company 'Taylor's'   :P :P :D :D.

I am most surprised that Taylor's have not sent one of these too Def too review  :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P

Not sure if your talking about the gun or knife but I agree in both cases.

my first tactical folder was a Smith and Wesson Baby SWAT.  It was a good knife for many years.  Not the best, but I didn't treat it that great either.  It did everything I asked it to do and other things as well.  Are there better knives out there now? Yes.  Where there when I was 13? Probably, but I didn't know about them.

Its a fairly good knife, g10 handles with liners, all the grind lines match up perfectly, the black oxide blade finish is every bit as good as my benchmades. The bad thing is 440c blade[i guess thats not all that bad] thing is the next one might be total crap.

Thought I'd tag this post on here. Although I think there is a general opinion on these  :o

I saw this for sale, good condition £10 posted  :tu:

Like this one but with the camo

I bought one 12 years or so ago at a gun show. For a cheaper user it's not bad. Nice clip, sharpens easy, not afraid to throw at someone and run. ::)
