S-TECTS011 EDC Pocket Knife, 8CR14 Stainless Steel, G10 Handle, Lanyard Hole, Hunting Outdoor Sport,

This knife spoke to me with it's larger size and handle color (not just another black tactical offering). It's a smooth manual flipper or thumb stud opening with a solid lockup. Blade was sharp with a utilitarian blade shape. The pocket clip holds the knife in place, but is easy to slide in and out of your pocket. The only thing that may be a turn off for some is the large size of this knife, but if you like a 5 inch handle and 4 inch blade, have I got a deal for you!

This is a decent knife. Has a good weight to it and seems well balanced. The grip fits my hand great in fact. The blade is held shut with a magnet and the opening mechanism is smooth. Its tougher than my more expensive knives to open but at this price point I cant complain. My only complaint is the blade was not as sharp as it should be being brand new. It will still cut and slice just not quite as good as a sharper knife, but you can sharpen it yourself so no biggy.

Luv the company, great knife

This is a big folder - longer than an adult's palm is wide. Gripping it comfortably, it sticks out past my thumb by over an inch. My index finger *just* hooks over the flipper. But the mechanism is so smooth the blade pops open with little effort. But it still locks closed because of a ball-bearing lock that keeps the blade closed. You can see the detent for it in the next to last photo. This is also my first complaint. The ball scratches the blade every time the knife is opened and closed - you can see that in the same photo as well. It's the curved scratch that goes through the text. Minor, but annoying.The handle is comfortable and grips well. The blade locks open easily and can't be forced closed and there's zero play. There's no nail nick on the blade, but there's a thumb stud on either side. The belt clip can not be moved - that's my other complaint. If it's clipped inside your right front pocket or inside your waist band, it's positioned for quick opening. it it's clipped to a belt you need to flip it around before it can be opened. The blade has a V-grind and is extremely sharp. Under a loupe it's a bit of a coarse grind and can be improved on, but is typical for mass produced blades - that's the last photo.When I picked up this blade it was $29.95 - it's a great value for that price.

I was pleasantly surprised when this bad boy arrived. It is huge. The blade has no give at all and the rivets and precision are exceptional when you consider the price point. Now, it isn't the type of knife you buy to impress your friends, necessarily. But it is a great, easy to snap open folding knife that is perfect for almost any practical knife operations. Recommended.
