Only thing I've had to do is sharpen the blades every now and again plus lubricate. It does as intended and that's cut what you need to cut. Only thing I would suggest against is using the blades on the Titan or Lightning as a pry tool as they're not heat treated for those types of tolerances.

I bought 4 Lightning OTF from them so far at $34.99 each. Out of the box they weren't very sharp. Probably the least sharp of any knives I've ever bought. So of course I had to put a razor edge on them. I've read many reviews about these knives misfiring and yes so did mine after about a dozen times. A simple flick of the wrist reset the blade. My biggest concern was whether the knife would fail when stabbing something, such as a human, because I bought these knives for self defense and general purpose use. So I stabbed a phone book very hard many times and it didn't fail. And since human flesh, depending on where you stab them, has deferring density, isn't going to be as hard as a phone book. The blades went into the phone book pretty deep. So my overall impression of these knives from the get go is good considering the price. We'll see what the results are after long term use. Update 1/10/20 One of the Lightning knives is already failing often. Having deployed it hundreds of times in the past few days, it's already failing to fire at a 20% rate. So basically it's misfired 1 in 5 times. That's unacceptable in a self defense situation so that particular knife will go in the general use drawer.

@@newartmovbecause I saw in some comments that this knife had a tendency to fail in deploying, I didn't use it other than doing my deploying test. I bought 3 of the same knife. Tested them all. One of them failed miserably. The second one failed off and on. The third one rarely failed. Not a scientific controlled test. Just me lying in bed watching TV and flicking it. But if I was carrying it and needed it in a self defense situation, and it failed, that would be a bad thing. So it's basically a letter owner now.
