I wouldn't buy that knife again for anything.
We're not talking about the same knife. It's not skateboard tape at all. It's a rubbery texture that is probably my favorite knife grip. The blade is of great quality & holds the edge just fine. As for the mechanism itself I'll let you ask my wife how many times she thinks I've opened/closed it. I bet she says millions. I sit for hours and flip it open & close it and the assisted mechanism is the same tension as when it was new. I & several of my friends have been using & abusing this exact knife w/o issue. We've tried getting them to fail and no luck. With Walmart's return policy you can't lose.
