EafengrowEF204 Folding Pocket Knife,D2 Blade Steel Handle Liner Lock with Clip Outdoor Camping Hiking Tactical EDC Tool (EF204-colorful)

Impressive knife, especially considering the low cost!Pluses: It's ruggedly made and feels strong and sturdy. It's a big knife. No blade play, no lock rock, no stripped screws (and the hardware is custom). It feels like you could hammer nails with this thing. It opens smoothly on bearings and in fact, among my various flippers this one may be the easiest to open. I mean, it flies open and locks with a satisfying snick. Also, it's just good looking. It doesn't look like your other knives, unless you happen to own the $1,100 Custom Knife Factory Decepticon, which this is mostly a copy of.Minuses: It's heavy, like a hammer, or like those old Buck knives your grandfather had. The detent is weak, which makes it easy to flip and so far it's good like this, but I worry it may eventually wear out. The finishing on the blade could be improved. It's not a big deal and most people won't notice, but there are some rough edges. The various facets, fullers, and bevels are very ambitions for a blade at this price point. Mine came sharp enough to cut things, but it's not the sharpest knife in the drawer. This particular steel, if we're to believe other Amazon reviews, needs to be kept a little oiled in moister climates to prevent corrosion. (This is not uncommon even in more expensive steels).All in all, I'd rate this knife an awesome score at this price, and I'm glad to add it to my collection. I'll even carry it sometimes... heavy or not. The design is beautiful and strange, the knife is sturdy and impressive looking, and bonus points for coming in blue and gold, the colors of my alma mater.If you're a knife person and don't have $1,110 for the CKF Decepticon, pick up this one, you'll be glad you did.

As with other Eafengrow knives, the quality of workmanship and finish are excellent. The knife is solid, everything works smoothly and fits tightly. The design is excellent and the 2 color, skeleton work frame is attractive. It is much larger and heavier than I expected from the pictures. It weighs around 9.35 ounces, a little over 1/2 pound. My pics show knife in my size large hand. The blade has no markings at all. The ad says it is D2 steel at 61 Hrc. Compared to other similarly hardened D2 knives I own, including other Eafengrow knives, this blade seems a little softer than 61 rockwell, and sharpens much easier than other D2. That is just my opinion when comparing to other knives I have sharpened. It does take a fantastic edge. This knife would be excellent as a hunting or camping knife. It is a little large to be comfortable as an EDC pocket knife. My wife intends to keep it in her car. If the knife performs as D2 should, this is an excellent and affordable purchase.

Nice knife. Blade is centered. Did not open like a "gravity knife" . A bit heavy but the blade is sharp and supposedly D2 steel. You also get a little box. Pretty decent value and is a pretty collectable on top of being a functional pocket knife.

I've bought many knives in my 50+ years; some for looks, some for function. This Eafengrow EF204 is absolutely beautiful in so many ways.Even though it's not spring-assisted opening, the weight of the blade is such that if you simply hold the handle and drop your arm blade-side down and stop, you can have it open for you and lock in place with out any harsh or jarring flicking action. In spite of its ease of opening, the blade stays secure in the handle without any threat of it opening in your pocket. The clip on the side keeps it secure in your pants pocket or belt. The blade itself comes sharp enough to shave leg hair off. Best of all, the blade doesn't have any play at the joint. It's built solidly.Its style is amazing. If I didn't know any better, I'd say someone designed it as a prop for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. (If it was, please let me know!) The knife overall is heavier than most knives.Bottom line, I can't see how anyone could have anything bad to say about this knife. Buy it knowing you're getting a very high quality product. I might actually buy a few more in case I loose mine.

Cheap is , Well Cheap the finish on the knife has runs the paint when I first opened it up . Should have been my sign right there , The knife is a bear to open feels like the bearing is dry and catches even after a hour of opening and closing it's still the same , also the blade has a stress crack in it from the manufacturing process I assume very poor quality and the linear lock does not work unless forced in to position. The Plus or Pros probably after using some Lucas Gun Oil or has I call it the magic stuff it might open and close great by your thumb tho not the assist on the backside . The blade is sharp if your looking for a cheap knife for work or don't care if it gets damaged or loss I would actually skip this and just buy a another knife honestly and throw this in the trash

Good looking knife and it's pretty heavy. Knife does start to come loose fairly quickly maybe due to it being so heavy. The knife faces upwards in your pocket and it stabbed my finger once when taking it out of my pocket and I stopped using it. I was constantly having to tighten the screws on this knife. You do have to flick your wrist yo swing thus bad boy open. Ok for the price.

First off, this is a supposedly D2 blade steel, Chinese clone of the 1100+ custom knife factory decepticon. So, if it's not D2, for 30 dollars I don't care so much. The grinds on my knife were actually really good, with an even bevel unlike some knives I've paid alot more for. The lockup is about 40% and early, I prefer a later lockup but that's okay. No side to side play at all, Rock solid. The pivot is on a captive ball bearing phosphor bronze washer system, which also works excellently. The knife arrived with minor scratches on the blade and the handle, not many and not large enough that I care for 30 dollars anyway. So ultimately though this is a heavy knife with some finish blemishes it's still compelling and an amazing value for what it is
