SENCUTSachse Pocket Folding Knife for EDC, Black G10 Handle Satin 9Cr18MoV Blade Foldable Small Knife with Clip, Button Lock Everyday Carry Knives for Men Women Indoor Outdoor Gift S21007-5

Wow, this is a very high quality knife. Sencut is supposed to be the budget line for Civivi and WE and I didn't know that going in, this doesn't have that budget feel in any sense. The button-lock is one of if not the best out there with the ball bearings. I did not have button locks before this, now I see what they can do if done right and deliberately shop for them now. Very easy to open, holds tight when locked in, and easy to close. I never thought I'd be a guy to fidget with his knives ever at all but this one is so fun I started doing it like the various knife youtubers!Looking at this as just a tool, the green micarta handle doesn't get slick nor too grippy, it's light for it's size, easy to deploy and put away, and the spear-point/drop-point blade shape with decent belly is so versatile. It's not meant to baton stuff, get a cheap hatchet or large thick camp knife for those jobs anyway. This is an EDC type of knife to handle packages, boxes, cordage/rope and other stuff for factory and farm workers like me. Can this dress out wild game you harvested? Sure can. Can it harvest mushrooms? Sure can. Cut through bale twine? Yep but straw and hay will wear off the protective coating. The blade is a decent steel that's very well heat treated and holds an edge decently well, a good middle of the road steel that gets very sharp and is easy to sharpen, holds it's edge well without being so hard it chips easily. If you have diamond plates and a strop or like a worksharp field sharpener which has said plates and strop on it you're set. I have a slight preference for not using D2, this steel is not as fidgety to sharpen as the currently popular D2 steel while also more stainless than D2. D2 isn't bad if done well and a PVD or similar coating, it's just peculiar due to the carbides when sharpening and you can't sharpen it too "fine". Neeves has a video about this and explains it a lot better.Can't say it enough, love this thing. It's worth every penny, it's at the upper echelon of what I'm comfortable spending on a knife. Spending $100 on a blade just will never make sense to me, and the $10 ones are crappy enough to want more, $30 knives often have something minor wrong with them or slight QC issues, this strikes that balance. High-end quality without the pricey super-steel and quasi-custom handles that lead to price-gouging. The main downside is the price is enough that it will sting if you lose it. The $10 Ozark Trails D2 blade you can go about your day if it's gone, this one is so nice it will make me pause for a bit if it's gone.Side recommendations also in my carry rotation based on my experience: Civivi Mini Praxis, $30, traditional flipper/thumb stud with thumb liner lock, thought I'd be spoil by the button lock but the Mini Praxis is so well done I just can't ignore it. I keep going back to it, it's cheaper, and the D2 steel is well done from this brand so it has it's uses for hard-wearing work. The CJRB Pyrite Lite is also on my rotation, $30 and the button-lock on this is an improvement of their earlier design. It's less bouncy when closing, also a very high-end feeling button lock, and has a smooth cleaver shape with great point that can still field dress animals and act like a box cutter. Average middle of the ground okay steel, a few colors to pick from, light, and the price is right if you want to try a button-lock for even cheaper without losing out much on quality besides the handle being a bit cheaper feeling yet still not bad. Both the Mini Praxis and Pyrite Lite are $30 and won't hurt as much if lost and easier to replace, another factor to consider.

Bought this for $47. After collecting flipper liner locks exclusively, I wanted to try a button lock, and this particular knife appeared to be a good one according to the various YouTube reviewers, and it was in my price range. This is now the most expensive knife in my collection of “inexpensive” EDC knives. My definition of “inexpensive” started at anything below $25, then moved up to $35, and now with this knife it has moved up to $50. Slowly, but surely, it's creeping upward. Moving on... This Sencut appears to be a keeper. I can open this knife using the button with a wrist flick, and also by using the thumb stud, but I prefer using the flipper. I do, however, like using the button to release the blade to close. It is much easier than disengaging a liner lock. Just have to make sure my fingers are out of the way of the blade falling close. I do notice/feel metal on metal scraping as I push the button. A little oil from time to time should help this. Overall, the fit/finish/execution of this knife is pretty good. All of the edges of the scales are nicely finished smooth and flush with the frame. All the screws are snug. The blade has a nice simple design, and is surprisingly quite sharp. It opens/closes very easily/smoothly. The blade lockup upon opening is crisp/strong with no wiggle at all, and the blade is nicely centered when closed. The blade detent is pretty good... closing the blade with a nice snap, and at the same time allowing the blade to be flipped open easily. There is nice jimping on both the blade and the flipper. The body of this knife does seem a little small considering the big blade it houses. But, it feels good in my hand. However, I do wish the Micarta had a little more texture for a better grip. To me, the scales are too smooth. Surprisingly, I think the pocket clip is pretty good. I can insert the knife into my jeans pocket without giving the clip any help, and the knife pulls out of my pocket fairly easily without hanging onto my pocket for dear life. This is all I ask of a pocket clip. I have some knives with really flimsy pocket clips that will bend easily, and some that are way too strong. Like the three bears... this one appears to me to be just right. Of course, if you are rough enough you can bend any clip. Like all knives, if you use them frequently you'll have to check the tightness of all the screws from time to time, or use some good thread locker. Overall, this appears to be a good, solid knife. My first venture into “button lock” land is a positive one.

For the money this knife has good quality and impressed on the cost !
