Really Awesome Chubby Knife except...

I saw this knife a year or so ago and really wanted to get it. I couldn't justify the price at the time, so I just waited. Then when it dropped down to around $10 I bit! Have really enjoyed it and it came quite sharp already, however, two things keep me from giving it 5 stars: 1). It is a spring assisted release and therefore has the rotation point along the main screw in the center (clearly visible in the picture). Since it is under pressure and opening/closing it produces vibrations, the center screw began getting looser after maybe 50-100 times opening and closing it. This screw loosening has caused the blade to wobble in the open position. Isn't a major deal, but better-made knives have a sleeve/bearing of sorts to keep from having the screw loosen (See Kershaw assisted release; I have one and love it). This can be remedied by tightening the star head screw, but it will just get loose again after another 50-100 opens. 2). The pocket clip on the back of the knife is somewhat challenging to open up and clip to your pocket. It holds great once it's in there, but it sometimes takes two hands to reattach it. Mainly a product of the whole knife being so tiny. Besides these two issues/annoyances, this knife is great and has generated a ton of laughs and smiles when I show it!! I really do enjoy having it around because it is quite unbecoming and opens Amazon boxes like a charm. I would definitely recommend it!
