G10 Handle Pocket Knife

Edit; Love this little EDC (everyday carry) style flip/folding knife. I had trouble with the first one sent, the seller/vendor contacted me, was very understanding and made it right for me. The action is very smooth and solid. This is not a 'Bush Knife' of course, not made for heavy action, but it is one that could be extremely useful and has a nice sharp edge. Inexpensive, classy, and 'smart' looking. I will probably buy another one. And thanks very much to the vendor. Original Review (background on 1st rec'd defective knife; This knife looks really nice, maybe I just got one from a bad batch. Out of the box, the blade would not lock open, the keeper would not come away from the frame as if perhaps the spring aspect of it was compromised due to sitting in the closed position for quite a long time or just not good quality spring steel, hard to know for sure. I was able to pry the keeper out just a slight bit so the blade might lock, that didn't work either. Since the knife was useless at that point, I can say now after taking it apart, that the internal parts are amazing not counting the defective, lock-open keeper, it has some very tiny bearing assemblies as part of the structure, really ingenious and would be super smooth if not defective. I wanted to exchange this, but the return cost was half that of the selling price, and fuel to take it to a UPS 'Store' would cost more than the knife not to mention 2 hours of my time.

I work outside a lot in sketchy areas as part of my job so this has become a must for me. Knife is thin and easy to keep in pocket, opens and closes easily. Knife arrived sharp and ready. I've carried this for about a year and it is still holding well

The construction of the knife is solid. I was a little worried when I realized the blade edge was not sharp. With a very little effort that issue was resolved quickly. It’s a beautiful piece, easy to open and close. The belt clip is very ridged and well made.

Terrific bang for buck! I highly recommend this very useful and versatile solution to a pocket knife! The action is smooth and quick, like a switchblade, yet legal in state states with laws against switchblades. It's not only the perfect letter opener, but the blade dimensions make it very useful for any number of tasks. There's a little faux leather sheath with a belt loop attachment on a ring which could be useful if the belt clip wasn't already more useful. Great for a box cutter if you know how to avoid over penetration, and great for penetration, if that is your goal. It's like a mini Ninja Tanto Blade...

just wanted a nice sharp knife to open boxes, envelopes and anything that needs cutting. works great. nice and sharp. easily open blade.

Overall this is a nice knife for light use. The knife was sharp enough out of the packaging for immediate use and maintained its edge. I found it easy enough to open for an un-assisted blade. However, it did begin to become more difficult to close over time. I often had to put pressure on the blade to release the safety lever. This knife also did not last very long. The wood inlay separated from the metal housing after about a month or two and three to four months later it will no longer fully close. I will admit that I use a knife a lot but I also did not stress this knife as much as I would normally. This knife would be useful for opening mail and packages. However, even for prolonged light-duty use, it likely won't last. But it was cheap so it was still a decent value for the money.

Needs sharpening OOTB, but decent quality if all you're looking for is a letter opener. Plus its blue. Why I bought it. ><

You get what you pay for. Its a cool looking 12 dollar knife. The problem is its just more Chineesium. The blade open/close mechanism feels loose and clumsy. The blade never feels locked, open or closed. The worst part is that it will open up unexpectedly. Whether its in your pocket or if you drop it. The junk blade will open... On a positive note, It looks like there is real spray painted wood in the handle! So maybe its worth 12 bucks. I attached a pic of what happens when you drop the knife from about 3 feet in the air
