The quality of this knife is much better than the generic $8 to $10 spring-loaded knives that Amazon sells. The blade is thicker and more stable and the locking mechanism is more secure.
The assisted opening works great for me. This is not a switchblade. You do have to squeeze a little to get the blade moving, but once it starts it fully opens and locks into place 100% of the time.
On the other hand, the shape of the knife handle is very uncomfortable to me. The handle narrows considerably towards the end, making it hard to grip. Maybe that makes it easier to fit in your pocket, but I greatly prefer a knife that is more substantial and usable.

The Asset is replacing my Kershaw Ken Onion in my pocket, and I'm pretty pleased with it. I didn't thoroughly look at the size of the knife in comparison to what I was carrying, so it was a little bit of a surprise how big the knife was when I opened it up. Besides it looking a little intimidating for an "every day carry" knife (I work in medical-ish research, this is a tool for me, not protection) I'm fairly happy. I wish there was a closed blade lock, as on some other Kershaw assisted opening knives, but the stiffness of the assisted opening on this knife (and the size of the blade) make it fairly unlikely that it will accidentally open in my pocket.
Also picking it up on the lightning deal meant that the price was very right.
