Pocket Folding EDC Knife: 3.14" D2 Steel Satin Sharp Blade, G10 Scales, Crossbar Axis Lock, Reversible Clip, Great Gifts for Men Women Camping Hiking Outdoor, Transparent

I bought this cheaper knife because I lose mine so much. I’m glad I purchased it. I like the color, easy of use, sharpness, and the weight of the knife. I will definitely purchase another one if I lose this one. I prefer Kershaw knives…but my last one was $70 and I lost it within a few months. If I lose this knife it won’t hurt my pocketbook, so I’m happy with my purchase.

Nice feel, good blade, very handy

I'm a Crossbar Lock knife newbie, but to me, the spring tension on the Crossbar Lock seems way too strong. I'm guessing it makes the blade locking very secure but if you like a good fidgeting knife, the strong spring tension seems too strong.

Initial impression is good. I will need to run it thru a few work sessions to evaluate durability.

The blade is D2 steel, a well-established alloy for knives intended for utility applications. It can be hardened to around Rockwell 62 and has fairly good edge-holding ability. The on-line description does not specify the hardness.As received, it was reasonably sharp but the edge could be improved with a little work; not untypical of no-name, made in China products.The crossbar lock looks very secure and should be reliable. Thumb studs are provided for opening and the pocket clip is reversible. The pocket clip is rigged for tip-up carry.

I love the locking mechanism. It's so very smooth.

Blade needs oiling because rusts starts to form

It’s sharp and sturdy, and perhaps rather nice for the price.My only disappointment is that the belt clip is not all that sturdy - it is moderately sturdy but I don’t think it will last terribly long. However, it is still good for the price, so I won’t deduct any stars for that - it’s what you’d expect for the price.
