Pocket Knife D2 Blade Folding Knife with G10 Handle, Smooth Flipping Action EDC Knife with Ball Bearing for Hiking Camping Outdoor, Gifts for Men

I've collected all types of knives with varying types of steel for more than 30 years and I really like D2 at this price point. ($12.99 on sale.) So far this knife feels well constructed, blade is centered and opens smooth with no slop side to side or up and down. Most knives these days only come with a factory grind on the cutting edge. Some sharp and some not so sharp. This one came very sharp and ready to cut, but you'll want to hone it if you like a razor sharp edge like I do. I use a DMT fine/super fine diamond stone and a strop, but you can use any quality stone on D2 steel and it will sharpen. I can't speak to the durability as I've only had it a short time. I will put it through its paces and update if needed. I really like the grind on the blade. It's clean and crisp. Smooth open and lock up feels good and tight. Safe and solid with no quality control issues. Weight and balance feel good with a thin, grip that fits ok in my large hands. I do wish it was a bit thicker. At least 5/8 inch. Pocket clip is slim, short and very tight and doesn't protrude, so it's not gonna slip out of your pocket. The G-10 handle of the knife feels as though it's completely machined, so you can feel all the corners and edges, but they're not sharp. It actually helps with grip since it's so narrow. I would like some gymping for your thumb. The handle does have some, but it's in odd places. At this price, I'll take this knife over 420, 440C or 3cr13mov any day of the week. If you receive one of questionable quality, exchange it. This is a good knife and made well. If you receive one with zero issues and still complain about it, listen, it's not a $200 folder. Or even a $50 folder. I have some and they are without a doubt better, but I've seen a lot of junk for $20 and under. This knife isn't junk. Worth adding to your collection.

The blade came super sharp and has been great It has a satisfying snap when opened. The handle has sharp edges. I rounded them a bit with sandpaper to make it more comfortable.

There are a lot of similar knives with only different branding around this price (same style/same metal)... usually can get one for around $10-12 when on a good sale. Definitely worth every penny around that price. Very light, very sharp, very hard metal. Blade a little boxy and thin, but if you don't mind the tanto style, this is a good knife, especially for EDC. Locks up pretty nice, unlocks pretty easy.. pretty smooth for a knife at this price. Give up on those unknown steel knives (unless they go on sale for sub $5). If you're gonna spend $10, get a D2 knife like this one (or at least an 8Cr+ or AUS8+)..

Great knife. It's D2 steel which is used for tools, meaning: It us incredibly durable and keep a sharp edge for a long time. However it also means it's really hard to sharpen. I suggest a diamond sharpening stone or tool and a lot of elbow grease. If you don't care about super sharp edges or don't sharpen your knives then disregard that. Either way I highly recommend this knife it's an amazing price for what you get. Great for utility uses, EDC and much more. Feels good in hand, the handle is nonslip and just feels nice. It's not a show piece but it's still very pretty. 10⭐

This knife arrived relatively sharp. Looks well built and operates well for the cost. Though the sharpness didn’t last long. This makes me think that this knife isn’t actually D2 steel. I have other D2 knives with various edges and degrees including the now semi famous $10 Ozark Trail D2 knife. All of my other D2 blades have much longer edge retention. This knife was dull after only about 15 minutes of cutting up boxes.

love the blade shape, the overall size,and the look of the knife as a whole, but the craftsmanship is garbage. no detente,blade opening fails every time,not centered at all,bearings feel like their made of plastic, and the blade is so loose it feels like it will fall out. yes i know its only $18 but for $5 more buy a sitivien like the 128 which i got for the same price and is perfect. i may return this one.

I collect knives so I know a bargain when I see one. The action is great the lock up is solid.

Can't believe this knife is the price it is. Slim profile, wicked sharp, very good lock up. Feels great in the hand, but light in the pocket. Been carrying it all day hiking and camping, love it.
