DURATECH Folding Pocket Knife, 3-1/4" Satin 8CR13MOV Blade, Black Wavy Grain G10 Handle with Liner Lock Knife For EDC

This is one of the best budget friendly knives I've ever seen. I bought the style with the wavy grips because I liked the overall blade and handle configuration. There are a lot of big name brand knives using 8CR13MOV blades with G10 handle scales and charging ridiculous prices for them, so in my opinion this is a really good knife for right around $15. The blade is not assisted but it flicks open like butter due in part to the brass washers it utilizes. The stonewash finish on the blade is really nice and I always prefer that on a good work knife as it reduces the scratch factor that you get with a polished blade. The handle on this particular model is ergonomic and very comfortable. It has a really nice deep carry pocket clip on it with good tension so it's not moving around when you are. The overall knife is a little bulkier and heavier than I prefer for an EDC knife, but nevertheless it's well built for whatever task you throw at it. I highly recommend this knife for anyone looking for a budget friendly unit or someone like me just trying out some cheaper, well built brands for everyday use.

Excelente cost benefic, Sharp and good ergonomic. Oppening is not smoth as I'd like but is perfect for my day by day use.

This pocket knife is an incredible buy. I paid a little more than $10 with tax, what a deal. The quality is superb, the blade is exactly in the middle of the frame. It came very sharp. The scales have a great look and and even better feel. The blade shape and flat full grind remind me of some of my Spyderco knives. It opens as smoothly as any knife I have and I have many more expensive knives. Once in a while I find a knife like this and can proudly use it and display it with my knives that cost a lot more. Do not hesitate, you should buy one of these knives. I may buy more for gifts, I have eight grandsons. It will make a great everyday carry, if you lose it, it didn’t cost a fortune. I purchased the knife and was not paid for this review.

I picked this up as a stocking stuffer for myself this past Christmas. The sides are a plastic. Possibly and plastic. Not sure of it's printed or what but the texture isn't smooth but isn't abrasive either. It sticks in your hand rather well. The movement of the knife is what really impressed me. It doesn't fall open but when you start the movement of opening the knife there is no resistance so it opens quickly and easily locks ever time. The lock fully locks. For an edc I really like to be able to deploy it quickly. I'm a low volt technician and use my knife daily for all sorts of tasks. I find the blade to be very hard, holds an edge well. It has a profile similar to our high quality kitchen knives. For the dollars it performs very well. I decided to write a review because today it failed where so many do. I snagged the clip on something. Now it's basically junk as an edc. If I bend it back, it will happen again and be softer. I actually liked it so much I bought one for a friend. I'm disappointed.

I purchased this because it was cheap and expendable...I fell in love with it! It came razor sharp, the blade holds an edge fairly well, and it is a breeze to open and close. No wiggly or jiggling, everything is solid and feels quality. The grip is textured and slightly rough but doesn't slip even when my hands are wet. I use this knife to cut food mostly, but opening boxes, cutting rope, even cardboard is cut with little effort. I used to carry a balisong but I switched to this as it's got a pocket clip and is faster to open and less "threatening" as there is almost no sound when you open it. A+++ would give as a gift or recommend to anyone.

Like most everything about this Duratech folding knife. Size is great for EDC and I especially like the worked handle with the grooves that feels good in the hand. Blade length is great. Lock up is great. Blade is centered like a champ. Deep carry clip has the right tension and curve to go in and out of the pocket smoothly despite having raised screws in the pathway. I only marginally don't like the fact that the thumb studs are not really usable with the tension as is and the edge needs to be kept up.

Liner lock model - this knife came somewhat sharp, hair scraping but not quite shaving out of the box. Detent is very strong making good flipper action, but nearly impossible for me to deploy by thumb studs. Lock up is rock solid, lots of room for the liner to move over time. The handle material is hard and has micro texture along with the wavy pattern, which makes the knife handle strong and secure in my grip, and intriguing to feel and hold. However, this causes a lot of traction as you put the knife into and out of your pocket. I have not carried this knife in my pocket very much because I fear it will wear my pocket out very quickly. If you want to carry this knife in a pocket I suggest you have VERY strong pocket material. I subtracted one star overall because I feel this knife will be hard for many people to carry daily due to the roughness/pocket issue. I sharpened the knife freehand on water stones (400/1000 grit) and got it very sharp! This blade is thick and full flat grind makes for a strong blade shape and it’s thick behind the edge, making this blade a little wedgy… I would say this blade geometry is more “strong” than “slicey” but it is adequate. Overall, I think this knife is an extremely good value!! UPDATE: I have had this knife for over a year, and I carried it for several months. I’ve used it a lot. The roughness of the handle texture has NOT been an issue at all. I love the feel of the handle and it is not been a problem on my pants pocket nor on sweats pocket/waistband. The knife is holding up well, it is still rock solid and has a lot more life left! This is an amazing value. I am now able to easily deploy this knife using the Thumbstud or the flipper. UPGRADING FROM 4 TO 5 STARS

キャンプように購入。 このブランドの工具を複数所有しているため、 ナイフも扱っていることを知りブランド買い。 グリップはプラスティックですが凹凸加工で滑りにくく、 スタイリッシュだけど質実剛健で、木製グリップ以外もアリだなと思えました。

１９８０円で購入、この値段で自分で手直し出来る人ならお勧め出来るナイフ。 ３０００円なら星２。 良い点 ・幅広のドロップポイントが使い易い。（食材、フェザー、ダンボールカット等） ・グリップの剛性感が有る、握りやすい形状。 ・見た目が良い。 悪い点 ・グリップの角が立っているのでヤスリ掛けの必要有。 ・刃の軸にガタが出る、キツめに調整すると動きが渋い。 ・刃付けが悪く箱出しは切れない。 総評として問題点はあるものの２０００円なら初めてもフォールディングナイフとしては有り。

良くもなく、悪くもなく 値段相応！

デザイン・質感・フリップオープンのし易さなど、総合的に見て 尋常でないコスパと言える。ただやはり使用する前にグリスアップ しておこうと思って分解したら、メタルフレームとグリップの間が オイルまみれだったのには驚いた。で肝心の軸受けにはグリスは 全く付いておらず、やはり値段なりの部分は感じられた。 しかし余計なオイルを拭き取り、ボールベアリングをグリスアップ したらフリップオープンは更にスムーズになり大満足の仕様に。 この値段ならもう１本買ってもいいくらいの製品です。

動きはボールベアリング入りなので刃の出し入れは楽。 確かにG10ハンドルではあるが背の部分や握る所が殆ど面取りされていない値段だから仕方ないかも。ドライバーのマルイ棒状のもので擦り付ければエッジは取れる。 刃付けは普通だが鋼材の所為なのか鋭さに欠ける。 研ぎ直して革砥で仕上げれば切れる様になるアウトドアで使う刃なら十分だと思う。 使った後はメンテフリーとは行かない。 どうしても料理などで使って洗ってそのままにすると開け閉めが固くなる。 トルクスドライバーとグリス、オイルはナイフを持つ者はメンテ用に持つべきである。 ライナーロックなど閉め方が分からない初歩の事が分からない者にナイフを持つ資格もないと思われる。自分の持ち物は責任を持って頂きたい。いわゆる勉強何事もある程度知識を持って責任を持ってそれらを使う事ナイフは凶器にもなる。折れて怪我をする事もましてや他人に怪我をさせてはいけない配慮が必要だと言う事。 まぁ〜安いナイフで鋼材も中華で焼き入れもどこまでか分からない。 でも高価なナイフと違い使い倒しても無駄にならないのでこれくらいのナイフでEDCナイフとして使って自分なりの刃付け具合で使えれば良いナイフだと思う。
