SitivienST112 Folding Knife, D2 Blade and Micarta Handle EDC Tool Knife with Pocket Clip for Outdoor Camping Hiking Survival(Brown)

I own quite a few folding knives ..... all different costs. This is one of the best. Can't believe the cost and quality is this good.

It is honestly better quality than I expected but I love it and feels amazing

I have a D2 Sitivien knife from a few years back, the steel is excellent D2, it's hard and holds an edge very well.When I saw this smaller knife for a good price I thought I'd buy one and see how it compares. This knife has a thick blade for its size and is not super light, I can't say yet if the blade steel is equal to my other one. This knife deploys fine, it's not quite centered, the linerlock is right, good even, but I think that the handle seems a bit underbuilt considering the blade weight so time will tell.

The first time I reviewed this knife I started out, "This 31/2” pocket knife is well suited for carry in your left pocket for easy one hand opening.With the clip on your jean pocket, you can reach into your pocket with your left hand and pull it out with your index finger on the opening mechanism, ready to put to use."I should add, "but NOT your back pocket, unless you modify the clip." The clip tends to catch on the seat of your vehicle if you ride high enough to turn and slide down off the seat when you get out.The blade stays in place when closed with a magnet that DOESN’T touch the blade, keeping the cutting edge protected and preventing accidental opening in your pocket. That is really nice.I like the way the opening lever acts as a guard when the knife is open to protects your hand from slipping onto the cutting edge of the blade in use.Had I designed the knife, I would have made the micatta pieces a tad larger to align exactly with the edges of the liner sides for a better grip and feel, especially when wet.I also notched the micarta at the last notch of the serrated liner lock (away from the pivot end) and directly across on the other liner lock side to make stripping a wire easier with the knife.I converted the hole for a lanyard into a bottle opener. I suppose some people carry a pocket knife around their neck, but I find a bottle opener/metal lid bender more useful in an edc pocket knife. Too bad it doesn't come that way.One more thing. The fiber in the micarta handle will absorb fine dust and dirt in use, You can clean it easily with soap and water, but after you dry it, put a little WD-40 on it, let it stand a bit, and then wipe it off. It penetrates and displaces the water in the fibers. It will not make it slippery or anything after you wipe it off. Urban legend to the contrary, WD-40 is not a lubricant. It frees sticky mechanisms by helping remove dirt and debris. It was originally developed to dry out wet ignition systems.

Very nice.

Just opened my new knife and am disappointed that it will not lock in the open position. Otherwise it looks great

Can not believe how good this knife is. Not sure why some knives that I own that cost way more can't have action like this knife.

I know it's not the strongest, but it's sharp af, light, and easy to open AND close one handed. Inexpensive enough that you won't cry if you lose it. I bought 4 more. Maybe I'll give them as gifts....maybe
