OLITANS G040 Pocket Knife, 2.75'' D2 Steel Blade G10 handle, Small EDC Knife with Pocket Clip for Men Women, 2.1oz

The steel holds a sharp edge for a long time. I really like the size and weight a lot. The only con is the first one was very hard to open. I returned it for an exchange and the second one opens much more easily. The shape of the blade is very good for all around use and the drop point is almost centered on the blade which makes it great for drilling holes. UPDATE: I did something stupid and broke the tip on the knife. For a replacement I looked all over Amazon but for me this was the best style, shape and size for the money….so I ordered another one and I am super happy with the new knife. It opens even better and more smoothly than the one before.

Great little pocket knife. Compact, sturdy, and very sharp. Flips open easily and closes easily as well. Would probably buy another, especially for $20. Definitely satisfied.

My favorite EDC pocket knife. Light, compact, very sharp, solid liner lock mechanism,, easy-open (check local laws for any potentially applicable restrictions). I've got lots of other blades, but this is the one I routinely find myself carrying. There's a shorter verion of this knife from the same maker which I also tried, but it was too small for my large-ish hands. Great steel. The natural G10 scales are nicely finished, and slip-resistant. Affordable. Just a great knife.

Small compact EDC appropriate for opening boxes and other light tasks. Added a lanyard. Clip was replaced with a slightly larger and sturdier spare I had to allow easier return to pocket. Not as light as it could be as steel below the scales is thicker than most knives this size but still pretty light. Easy deployment. Sharp. Will probably add some jimping on the spine for thumb traction. Cheap enough to justify the modifications which are essential for any EDC as far as I’m concerned.

The only downside about getting this is knife is that my fun journey in looking for the perfect EDC knife may be at an end. Try as I might I cannot find anything wrong with this knife. It is absolutely sharp -- it cut through a cardboard pizza box yesterday like butter -- the flipper works like a breeze -- it seems fit and sturdy, and fits easily in my pocket alongside my keys. I might like a serrated version someday to cut through things like seat belts, but for now I'm going with this. I guess I can get some backups in other colors to keep my journey going.

What a fantastic little red knife! Solid build, silky smooth deployment right out of the box. Careful attention being paid to quality build details, this knife came sharp and oiled. I recommend this little knife for unobtrusive edc as it sits low in jean's knife pocket. Good for collecting or gifting, this is a good value.

This is my first non-spring-assisted flipper and I'm pleasantly surprised to find I prefer it! It snaps open just as fully and easily without the help. But what really wins me over is, it's a much easier one-handed close. Just hinges shut nice and easy with none of the unpredictability of having to overcome a spring in the home stretch (which has left me with a sliced pinkytip more times than I want to admit.) I dig the sleek, simple, symmetrical design. It arrived sharp, the clip's where I like it, it's pretty lightweight, and disappears in the pocket. I like the texture level of the handle, it's enough for a grip but not so jagged it's going to fray my pocket right away. Unboxed 10 minutes ago and it's already #1 in my rotation for light duty EDC. Update after a while: the finish on the blade is coming off, and in odd spots that aren't at use or folding wear points (I've carried it in my pocket daily but barely ever actually used it, even then for extremely light tasks). It's still black there, just a more matte black. I don't care but if you're fussy about your blades looking pristine, this could be a drawback.

Holy crap, this was honestly one of the sharpest knives out of the box I've ever had! It's held it's edge incredibly well in the few months I've had it, with pretty substantial daily use including tasks like cutting boxes, cleaning up 3D prints, cutting paracord, etc. The micarta scales are nice and grippy, almost to the point of being uncomfortable when you squeeze your grip really tightly, but not quite. The knife is well balanced when open, and I love the size and blade geometry. It's a compact and slim knife, which rides well in the pocket but allows you to grab other items without fighting with it. The blade springs open quite nicely and locks VERY securely in place, yet closes with an easy push of the locking lever. It took me a little time getting used to the clip orientation in relation to the flipper tab, since it's opposite of my previous knife, but that's simply a design difference. The pivot at the flipper would get in the way of the screws for the clip if you tried to design it differently, which limits the ability to flip the orientation vertically (flipper up vs down in your pocket). That said, the scales could be redesigned so the clip could be flipped to the opposite scale, but on the same end of the knife. This would allow you to change pockets but keep the flipper orientation the same (front or back). Overall, for a $20 knife, you're not going to go wrong!
