Pocket Knife for Men, Tanto Folding Knives with Clip, Glass Breaker for Emergency, EDC Pocket Knife with 440 Steel Blade & Aluminum Handle for Outdoor Camping, Gifts for Dad (VF006)

I'm actually amazed at this knife's quality for $12.00. Fit and finish are on point and the blade arrived way sharper than most at this price point, and the edge is way cleaner than most other budget knives.The action is fast, though a little tight, so it feels like it takes more effort than many assisted open flippers, but it is quick and snappy once you press hard enough. I actually count this all as a plus, since it could keep a kid from opening ur, should they get their hands on it somehow.The handle is good for the money, but is a little slick, so moisture can definitely have ill effect on your grip strength. I would have preferred G10, but that would have probably driven the price up a bit, especially considering the geometric design.I'm fairly impressed with the blade play when open. While it definitely wiggles slightly, it's very very little, much less that I expected for any pocket knife under $50.The liner lock is good, as liner locks go, and it has just enough accessibility to allow easy one handed operation without sticking out too far. The pocket clip is strong, repositionable and removable. The nylon sheath is very well made and it's inclusion pushes this knife's value score way over the top.I can't speak to the knive's long term resiliency, based on look and feel, I wouldn't recommend it for rugged budhcraft or industrial it use, but I do predict that it can take a reasonable EDC beating (opening boxes, cutting tags off clothing, etc.), and keep slicing. As for self defense, I'd say the aggressive tanto blade and sturdy construction would probably hold up just fine in a scuffle, but you probably want to add something to enhance your grip. No knife will help you if you can't keep hold of it.Update: after almost a year of carrying this knife on most days, it's gone missing. I have a collection of knives and tend to use the best low priced option as my EDC so that situations like this don't sting. I ordered another one and it arrived quickly. At first I thought the action wasn't as crisp as the last one, but a drop of lube and few days of breaking it in did the trick. I dint remember having to do that the first time, but could definitely by mistaken. The new one has almost no blade play and locks up extremely well, possibly better than the last. So. There may be some slight variations in quality from one to the next, but I haven't had anything come up that would give me reason to give this knives anything but a perfect review for a sturdy piece of pocket cutlery that comes razor sharp out of the box, retains it's sharpness rather well (I beat mine pretty good and only had to resharpen it once or twice in a year), and has an impressively low price tag. Plus, it's the perfect aesthetic companion piece to the Cold Steel Tanto Lite fixed blade knife that I carry while motorcycling.

I purchased a similar knife at a higher price and misplaced. After purchasing this knife I found the older similar knife. This knife has slightly longer and thicker blade making it more sturdy. This is my carry knife when I am wearing thinner pants or shorts because it is less bulky. It is very sharp, opens quickly, cuts rope/boxes/plastic well so good utility knife. It could be a little slick to hold if your hands are sweaty so be aware. For the price it is a great value and looks the part.

TLDR: If you are looking for a long, slim tanto with excessively snappy action, this knife will do.The texture of the handle on this knife is VERY comfortable to carry and to use. Fits my hand nicely. The blade is a nice length. The blade came incredibly sharp (cuts paper cleanly). The belt clip is a good stiffness but sits a little high in the pocket and the glass-breaker end makes it a bit uncomfortable to put there.The major problem I have with this EDC is that the blade is nearly impossible to deploy with the flipper. Either the angle or the length of the flipper is insufficient to deploy the blade, or the detent is too secure. I have a large number of Assisted Open EDCs in my collection and none of them are this difficult (it almost requires a 2-hand operation), nor have I ever had any of them deploy accidentally inside my pocket or while being pulled out. While the handle is comfortable to be used, the coated aluminum is smooth enough to make attempts at one-handed deployment unsafe imo. This knife will be a 3-star for me until it is redesigned to allow the blade to be deployed with significantly less pressure (ie., at less risk of pushing the entire handle out of your grip before it flies open).UPDATE: +1star. After a good application of KPL, a slight loosening of the pivot screw and a ton of play the blade now deploys in a manner that is no longer unsafe or uncomfortable. The flipper absolutely still needs some texture/jimping on it as slippage remains an issue.

I bought it as a work knife, The blade was very sharp and satisfying to open. But the blade kept coming loose and eventually the stop pin snapped clean off. Good as a showpiece not for anything else

The media could not be loaded. Actually a very nice quality knife, spring load mechanism is very smooth and the blade isn’t loose at all.Don’t be to reckless with it though, this blade is razor sharp unlike most other blades ive gotten off this site.

Nice useful little knife

Use this knife for 2 months as an EDC for opening boxes and things like that. Was very impressed with this inexpensive knife. Flipper works good. Put a couple drops of oil on it and adjusted the friction to my liking. Was very happy then the linear lock started to slide so far over that the k ife would lock open and you had to pry the linear lock bar back with a screwdriver to fold the knife. If not for the lock failure this would of been a knife to buy a couple of to have spare ones as they wore out or were used improperly/damaged and needed to replaced.

I originally got one for myself at work and was so pleased with it my coworkers were all asking me about it. I ended up purchasing multiple more of them and provided as gifts and have an extra in my vehicle. Totally worth it.
