I didn't want to bash the guy doing the youtube video, but he seems a little biased.
1) It's an $8 knife. Compare it to other $8 knives.
2) Hard to open - you adjust the pivot pin if a drop of oil doesn't do the trick, same as with any knife.
3) Blade is relatively dull - so you need to sharpen it, just like you'll need to do dozens if not hundreds of times if you use it much, as you would with any knife. Expensive knives with harder blade steel do dull slower, but resharpening is inherent in knife ownership.
4) Lock doesn't disengage easily - Yeah, and you wouldn't want it to, but a drop of oil there will change that too.
5) Comparing size - no relevance to anything. You pick the size on any knife for the virtues or legality of that size.
6) Clip is garbage - It only needs to support the weight of the knife which is about 3 oz.
7) Didn't line up jimping - On what planet does that matter because it has no effect whatsoever for use on earth?
8) Hole on the end is not supposed to be a bottle opener. If you mistake it for one and then find it doesn't open bottles, that's not a negative thing. A turkey sammich is not a bottle opener either and also does a poor job opening bottles.
9) Hole on the end doesn't have sharpened edge - Has this guy ever pocket carried a knife? Last thing you want is a sharp edge on the outer perimeter cutting a hole in your pocket from wear. This detail alone tells me this guy has very limited real world/use experience with knives.
I'm not saying this is/isn't a high quality knife, considering it's only $8, only that the guy reviewing it is either clueless or has an agenda other than doing an unbiased review.
