Imperial Jackmaster Barlow IMP278 slipjoint pocket knife

cheapest Barlow knife I ever bought, cheap materials, but usable for everyday

-one of the scales had major gapping and a crack (all the way through the plastic) from one of the pinholes to the edge of the scale -hard springs makes it a bit hard to open the shorter blade -overall design and functionality is good apart from above issues. Lack of quality control on this model, it seems like. I could likely file a return but I won't be bothered at this price.
