Pros & Cons
Final Verdict
Border Guard 2 is pretty big than the other pocket knives in its class. It will fit perfectly in those palms which are big enough. But in the right hands, the knife would do wonders, the blade and handle are solid that provide balance and greater durability. For the performance and the build quality, this knife does justice to the price. But for people who need a smaller and more compact pocket knife, Kershaw is an idle option. Manufactured in China by Taylor Brands, this knife gets labeled as Smith & Wesson.
Our opinion on this knife is, it is definitely worth the money spent. The quality of the blade is fine and sharp enough to pierce through hard surfaces which is the reason why it is being used extensively. Smith & Wesson have always been revered for their range of products and this one certainly holds their benchmark in their pocket knives catalog.
Furthermore, since the company has been in the market and has made a name for itself, thus it strongly believes that each and every one of its products has to stand above the products which are manufactured by other companies that are competing globally.
