The tip of my knife broke while I was trying to remove the child safety on a Bic lighter. I have no child and I am never around children, therefore it is useless. This is something I have done hundreds of times with other knives. It took a very small amount of force to break the tip off. This knife is cheap and has a nice design. I can only recommend this knife if you plan on never using it for anything. Also, after flicking it out a few times the blade started to get loose. I tightened it with a screw driver and it stayed tight for two flicks. Your money is better spent elsewhere.
