Smith & Wesson SW609 8.3in High Carbon S.S. Folding Knife with 3.6in Drop Point Blade and Stonewashed G-10 Handle for Outdoor, Tactical, Survival and EDC

I have owned over 20 pocket knives and have carried all of them. I use and abuse my knives, and this one has held up well.It takes an edge very well, and holds it just as well.The index flipper is a little odd feeling at first, but works very well. This is a key feature I look for on all of my EDC knives. It allows for easy, one handed opening. You can adjust the stiffness of the folding by adjusting the silver bolt that it pivots on.This is my first knife I have owned that has a G10 handle. It had a very unique feeling, and stays in your hand well. I expect no issues with the handle material failing.The overall shape of the knife is rather odd, with random slants. This doesn't take away from the knife in any way.The stone washed material is beautiful. It is probably my favorite cheap knife metal, especially because it does not feel cheap.This knife is comparable to knives that cost $50+ for less than a third of the price.This was originally a Christmas gift from my brother. After using it as my EDC, I loved this knife. However, I lost it after a month. So I got on Amazon, found the exact same knife, and bought it again! It is absolutely worth the second purchase and will continue to be my EDC.

Excellent and sturdy wild Built knife. Especially for the price.

I get it, big brands do branded merch in other countries, but Smith & Wesson is an iconic American brand and didn't expect them to put their brand on an inexpensive Chinese made knife. The knife itself is a bit bigger than the blade I EDC, but the belt clip helps with this size blade (Check your local laws to see if 8.3 inch folding is legal in your area). I was actually surprised at this blade, it has an easy open fin that lets you just flip it open and a solid and easy lock. The blade itself is solid and strong, came sharp, but was able to get it a little sharper, and it held it's edge well. The knife grip is nice, and feels in line with S&W. I was surprised that S&W went to china for this knife, but they know what they are doing, and the result is very underpriced and solid blade.

nice and weighty but hard to open. shape straight from the package.

The media could not be loaded. I used to have this knife several years ago and have been looking to get another. It's an absolutelt outstanding knife! I can't believe it was so cheap here on Amazon. Once you get it, if the action is a little tight, simply oil it and loosen the screw holding the blade by a quarter to a half turn. Very pleased with the quality and happy I was able to find this knife again!

The media could not be loaded. Got this knife at Walmart just because I needed a pocket knife. Now this is my daily carrying knife. I have this knife for a month now and the knife still retained it edges very nice. The knife open and close very easily with just a flick of the wrist. I use this knife for fishing, cans opening, cutting boxes, fillet fish, cutting fruits, etc... The weight of the knife feels good in your hands, and it's very sturdy and not flimsy like other knives I've used in the past. The stone washed blade is beautiful. If you feels like the knife is dull a quick sharpen, will bring the blade back to it original form. I like it so much, I ordered my self another one from Amazon and it's only 20bucks. Very very happy with this knife !!!!

super resistente muy comoda en la mano, gran diseño.

I've had this one for a while and like the heft, how thin it is, it's grip also keeping it thin and it's pretty solid. After workiting it for a bit it folds and flips out nice. Also appreciate the regular clip versus the upside down pocket clip. I wear shorts and keep it on my waste band, another knife that has the clip on the other side is dangerous as it can and has folded completely open without you knowing since the blade folds open down with gravity in that position. Biggest gripe is the steel. Mine is rusting up pretty bad in the middle of the blade. I know SS doesn't mean rust proof but that sucks still. The knife is a little sloppy not dangerously so. Just when it's shut there is a decent amount of wiggle, I have to see if it can be tightened up a bit. Overall they are cheap and I haven't seen many that are nice robust sized knives like this while having a pretty thin profile while also having my preferred clip placement. There are some nice knives that I would consider that have similar profiles or better but they opt for the other dumb clip placement for concealed pocket carry. It's a bit tough to sharpen but I ain't so great at sharpening with stones so that's probably my bad. Just seems way harder than my carbon steel chef knife/ straight razors and with that hardness probably means you need more passes and leaves more chances for me to goof it up.
