Pocket Knife for Men - 5Cr15MoV Sharp Folding Blade with Wood Handle - Best Durable Knives for EDC Camping Survival Work Outdoor - Mens Gifts Idea for Dad Husband Boyfriend - Cake Knife, Silver 97010

I frequently buy budget knives just to exceed $35 on my order for free shipping. I have a drawer full or two. Sometimes I get a dud but usually they're not bad knives for the price. This one,so far, is much better than most. The flipper tab and the assisted opening works well. Lockup is good. Blade point position also good. What I like most about it is the color. The blade and handle are a gunmetal gray. The knife is hefty with a steel handle and wood inserts. The blade shape and overall looks are great. The blade is almost 4 inches long and feels good in a hand. Some may think it too heavy. Not for me. The clip comes unattached but with four screws which is one extra plus the wrench, two different sizes so it works on all screws of the knife. For $10 is a great deal.

I am a big fan of "budget knives." That being said, I accept the reality that many of the "budget knives" I buy on Amazon will end up being little more than eye-candy junk, good for little more than opening or cutting up cardboard shipping boxes or practicing blade sharpening skills. This knife however, surprised me. Here's why it's such a good knife (in my opinion). I have large hands. This is a large one for a pocket knife. It's just under five inches long folded, with a blade that comes to just under 4 inches long when open. A folder with a blade longer than that would be illegal to carry concealed in your pocket in some states. So size is perfect for me. The next thing I love is the weight. This is a noticeably heavier knife than most folding knives this size. I prefer a heavy knife. It opens smoothly and the blade lock-up is good. The shape of the blade is nice and the blade is thicker than the blades on any of my other budget folders. When the blade is open and locked, there is no play or wiggle from side to side or up and down. So far I've feather-sticked with it, sharpened wooden sticks to make tent stakes, demolished numerous heavy duty cardboard boxes, cut paracord and pried some pebbles out of the tread in my auto tires. I'm really liking the durability, looks and quality of this knife. Sharpness is holding up. I touched up the edge when it first arrived, and after several days of use, it is still sufficiently sharp to cut the obligatory paper and shave hair on my forearm (sorry, it's just what guys do to test blade sharpness). Some of my friends are getting one of these for Christmas. There is only one con I noticed: one of the screws holding the wooden inserts on the handle protrudes just enough above the surface of the wood to be a little uncomfortable when squeezing the knife handle. Hey - it was $10. Probably the best quality pocket knife for that price on Amazon, or anywhere else. I'll file down the screw a little and keep going with this knife.

Pros: The knife is better than expected considering the price (under $10). It's not razor sharp, but adequate for most of the tasks I need a knife for. The blade doesn't wiggle at all when open. It feels a little stiff, but some friction is needed to keep the knife from opening in your pocket. The rear flick stud opens the knife fully on every try, and the liner lock always engages. One handed opening and a reliable lock are my primary requirements, and this knife exceeds expectations. The grip feels very secure, and the finger groves line up naturally for my hand. 9.9 out of 10 for style points. Cons: Sharpening this knife with a flat stone isn't going to happen because the edge is concave. The back of the knife is open, so if you carry it in a pocket with coins or keys you will have a dull knife very quickly. The 5Cr15Mov stainless used for the blade is tough, but not great for edge retention. An open back seems to be the norm for every flicker knife, but a filler block wouldn't add much weight or cost and would help protect the edge. This knife is heavy anyway. It weighs nearly as much as my smartphone. While the description says the color is silver, the blade and body are actually a dark gray. Some would call this color graphite. Description also claims this is a Titanium Nitride coating and it protects the edge. That claim can't be true since the bevel grind removed all coating from the edge. I obviously received an open box, as the end flap was turn off and was inside the inner plastic bag. The knife, the pocket clip, an allen wrench, and 4 screws were still packet inside. The clip only uses 3 screws, so I got one extra. The grey coating was inside the threaded holes, but repeated tighten/loosen/tighten of the screws worked through it. On the bright side, I doubt the screws will loosen on their own!

I was VERY pleasantly surprised by this knife. It has great heft, beautiful wood and a nice sharp blade (sharp enough to shave hair off my arm).The spring action is so strong that I dropped the knife the first time I opened it. 😆 It's a little bigger than I expected, but I'm okay with that. Feels good in my hand, very balanced. If you are a woman looking to add a nice, inexpensive knife to your collection, this is one * highly recommend. Also, the pocket clip was easy to attach and the tool, plus an extra screw, was included. I'm super happy with my purchase. Perhaps the seller could advertise that this knife is suitable for women too.

This is a great quality knife for its super low price! I love the wood design and craftsmanship of the blade. It is super sharp and feels smooth when you open it. The only thing is that there is no safety on it so be careful when carrying. Overall, great purchase.

Very nice for the price needs oil real tight

I buy several knives a year. Some as collectors knives others for their intended purpose as tools. I always keep a pocket knife on hand. The knives I bought last year kept a sharp blade but the handle assembly kept coming loose. I got tired of taking the knives apart and retightening all the screws under the handle panels. I bought 3 new knives, and this is one of them. I use it daily, and it is probably the best pocket knife I have used in years. The quick pull on the blade spine is a new feature i like for one handed opening and closing.

For a $9 knife, its not bad. It loses 2 stars for safety reasons and the direction of the pocket clip. I recommend getting a pouch or sheath of some sort to keep it in because the knife can open inside of your pocket. The spring inside is so strong that if the blade is lifted maybe half an inch in you pocket, it'll pop out nearly half way. If this happens in you pocket, your leg is screwed. The spring is way too powerful. Another thing is the clip. You have to install it upside down. Considering the power of the clip and or the direction of the opening of the knife, the upside down installation of this clip, is dangerous. At least if it had to be installed the opposite direction, gravity could fight the opening of the knife a little bit. The spring is so strong, that if feels like the knife is going to pop back open on its own, after you close it. As far as the sharpness of it... its pretty dull, but if you add some elbow grease to your force, it should work just fine. Again, its $9 😆. Its heavy and feels premium. Just has a design flaw. Get a sheath for it. Until then, dont carry it in your pocket.
