SENCUTSachse Pocket Knife Folding Knife for EDC, Brown Micarta Handle Satin 9Cr18MoV Blade Foldable Small Knife with Clip, Button Lock Everyday Carry Knife for Men Women Indoor Outdoor Gift S21007-3

Wow, this is a very high quality knife. Sencut is supposed to be the budget line for Civivi and WE and I didn't know that going in, this doesn't have that budget feel in any sense. The button-lock is one of if not the best out there with the ball bearings. I did not have button locks before this, now I see what they can do if done right and deliberately shop for them now. Very easy to open, holds tight when locked in, and easy to close. I never thought I'd be a guy to fidget with his knives ever at all but this one is so fun I started doing it like the various knife youtubers!Looking at this as just a tool, the green micarta handle doesn't get slick nor too grippy, it's light for it's size, easy to deploy and put away, and the spear-point/drop-point blade shape with decent belly is so versatile. It's not meant to baton stuff, get a cheap hatchet or large thick camp knife for those jobs anyway. This is an EDC type of knife to handle packages, boxes, cordage/rope and other stuff for factory and farm workers like me. Can this dress out wild game you harvested? Sure can. Can it harvest mushrooms? Sure can. Cut through bale twine? Yep but straw and hay will wear off the protective coating. The blade is a decent steel that's very well heat treated and holds an edge decently well, a good middle of the road steel that gets very sharp and is easy to sharpen, holds it's edge well without being so hard it chips easily. If you have diamond plates and a strop or like a worksharp field sharpener which has said plates and strop on it you're set. I have a slight preference for not using D2, this steel is not as fidgety to sharpen as the currently popular D2 steel while also more stainless than D2. D2 isn't bad if done well and a PVD or similar coating, it's just peculiar due to the carbides when sharpening and you can't sharpen it too "fine". Neeves has a video about this and explains it a lot better.Can't say it enough, love this thing. It's worth every penny, it's at the upper echelon of what I'm comfortable spending on a knife. Spending $100 on a blade just will never make sense to me, and the $10 ones are crappy enough to want more, $30 knives often have something minor wrong with them or slight QC issues, this strikes that balance. High-end quality without the pricey super-steel and quasi-custom handles that lead to price-gouging. The main downside is the price is enough that it will sting if you lose it. The $10 Ozark Trails D2 blade you can go about your day if it's gone, this one is so nice it will make me pause for a bit if it's gone.Side recommendations also in my carry rotation based on my experience: Civivi Mini Praxis, $30, traditional flipper/thumb stud with thumb liner lock, thought I'd be spoil by the button lock but the Mini Praxis is so well done I just can't ignore it. I keep going back to it, it's cheaper, and the D2 steel is well done from this brand so it has it's uses for hard-wearing work. The CJRB Pyrite Lite is also on my rotation, $30 and the button-lock on this is an improvement of their earlier design. It's less bouncy when closing, also a very high-end feeling button lock, and has a smooth cleaver shape with great point that can still field dress animals and act like a box cutter. Average middle of the ground okay steel, a few colors to pick from, light, and the price is right if you want to try a button-lock for even cheaper without losing out much on quality besides the handle being a bit cheaper feeling yet still not bad. Both the Mini Praxis and Pyrite Lite are $30 and won't hurt as much if lost and easier to replace, another factor to consider.

Great knife. Love the drop point blade. Love the ergonomics of the handle and the flipper opener to guard the first finger. Love the button lock. My only complaint is this knife has a thick blade and is heavier than I like to every day carry.

the knife lasts a long time i almost never have to sharpen it I have had it for over two years and still works perfectly best knife ever!

I've owned a Civivi Conspirator button lock for a couple of years and liked the action on the knife. So, I figured that given the reviews. I'd purchase a Sencut Sachse button lock. I was expecting great things from the knife but was disappointed. Possibly it's just an issue of quality control. Upon arrival the Sachse was extremely difficult to open with the flipper tab and I had to push the blade release button so hard. That my thumb joint was sore after opening the knife a dozen or so times. Additionally, I had to take a diamond file to the flipper tab to take down a sharp spot. Maybe it was a Friday afternoon or Monday morning made knife. I've opened and closed the knife close to five hundred times to work in the action, and though it has gotten better. The knife does not snap open unless I flick my wrist, and the button lock is still a stiff and annoying to depress. I have over one hundred pocketknives in my collection, though this is just my third button lock knife. The Sachse wasn't that expensive, but I expected a great deal more from the brand, and I do have other Sencut knives in my collection that I thoroughly enjoy. Most of my knives aren't complete "safe queens" and I do use many on regular basis. At this point I'm going to have to take the Sachse apart, clean and oil it, and see if there is anything I can do to loosen up the action and reduce the stiffness of the button lock. I usually work on my knives anyway. So, it's not that big a deal. But the knife should have performed better out the box, and hopefully, I can make it a knife that I'll like. On the positive side. It's fairly comfortable in hand, it came sharp, and the materials are of a decent quality given the price point. Hopefully, if you purchase a Sachse, you won't run into the same issues. Overall, not a bad knife. But mine came with some serious flaws.Update.After taking the knife apart, cleaning it thoroughly and it definitely needed the cleaning, and oiling the knife. It has become comfortable to open and close. I'm still breaking the knife in and it's becoming better over time. The knife is starting to open with authority and there isn't a great deal of button stick when closing the knife. It now closes smoothly, and I feel that it's a nice addition to my collection of working knives. So, if you purchase a Sencut Sachse and aren't initially pleased. Take the time to dismantle, clean and oil the knife. It will make all the difference in the end. If you don't feel confident in dismantling and reassembling the knife. Watch a couple of YouTube videos. It's not all that hard and the tools needed are not that expensive and can be used on other knives or other projects. If you are starting to get into knife collecting. Pick up some cleaning solvent, blue (medium) Loctite for the screws, and oil designed for use with knives. Good luck and enjoy your Sachse.
