Solid Everyday Carry – Built to Last

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I’ve owned a few pocket knives over the years, but this one instantly earned a permanent spot in my EDC rotation. Straight out of the box, it felt solid—no cheap, rattly parts or loose screws. The blade is sharp, sturdy, and locks in place with confidence.What really impressed me is how comfortable it is to handle. Whether I’m opening boxes, cutting rope, or just keeping it on hand for outdoor tasks, it gets the job done without fuss. The clip holds tight in my pocket, and it opens smoothly with one hand.If you’re looking for a no-nonsense knife that feels more expensive than it is, this one’s worth every penny.

Small form, but very strong and sharp! Its the perfect EDC!

I was skeptical when I ordered this EDC knife but I have fell in love with it! its small size and light weight make it very comfortable to carry every day! It is super sharp, very strong, easy to handle and the flip open is almost addictive!I highly recommend it!

Great option for EDC and smaller hands.

I highly recommend this knife for anyone looking for a small, portable, and effective tool for everyday carry (EDC).Pros:Perfect Size: The knife is compact and fits comfortably in my hand, making it ideal for those with smaller hands. It's small enough to carry around without being bulky. You can open and close with one hand.Incredibly Sharp: The blade is extremely sharp right out of the box, if you get the bundle with the knife sharpener it sharpens very well.Lightweight & Easy to Control: The knife is very lightweight, which makes it easy to handle and you don’t notice it in your pocket.Convenient Clip: The pocket clip is a great feature. It stays low-profile, so it doesn't stick out far enough to be noticeable, even when sitting down.Great Value: If you purchase the bundle with the knife sharpener for around $20-$25, it’s an excellent deal.Cons:Not for Larger Hands: If you have larger hands or need a bigger knife for heavy-duty tasks, this may not be the right choice for you.Overall, having used many knives in this price range, this one stands out for its balance of sharpness, portability, and value. It's a solid choice for EDC and well worth the price.

Tiny Blade, Big Disappointment

I really like the design of this knife, it's sleek and modern. However, it's a lot smaller than I thought it would be - that's entirely my fault, I should have looked at the blade length description before ordering. I thought it was going to get a full-size knife. Instead, I got a potato peeler/knife for hobbits/people with baby hands.The pictures are deceptive, and the narrow grip makes the blade look a lot larger than it actually is; had it had a full-size grip, it would be apparent how small the blade really was, and placing the knife next to everyday items like quarters would also have shown it's true size. Only costing $13 should have been a dead giveaway that I wasn't getting a full-size Kershaw knife.It's not a bad knife; it's sharp enough, weighs little, there's no wiggle or play to the blade once it's locked into place, and it has an excellent design. It's perfect for light tasks and could make a great lightweight backup knife you can take anywhere (anywhere you can legally take a knife). However, I wouldn't depend on it for heavy-duty jobs; it's only suitable for things like opening boxes, letters, cutting string, etc.I really liked the design, and had it been a full-size knife with a 3.8"-4" blade, it would have been the ideal knife, in my opinion. I will still likely get another knife because I needed a full-size knife; a knife like the Kershaw Grid, Monitor, Helitack, or Iridium probably would have suited me better. It's just another lesson that you should always read the description before buying anything.

Smaller Than I Thought But That's a Great Thing .

I don't know why I thought it was going to be a similar knife to the Kershaw Analyst that I have , the only difference being the tip . Now I REALLY like my Analyst and I wanted one about its size with a drop point and serated . When I opened the box a thinner , smaller , lighter knife fell out and man was I stoked . The blade popped around just as snappy and easy and I immediately went to work cutting up the Amazon box to test its sharpness . It wasn't as stupid sharp from the box as the former but very sharp . Instead of just the weight of the knife cutting through I had to put a very slight pressure . No biggie as the steel takes a very nice edge easily . My Analyst is so sharp it practically cuts my thoughts in half . I'm confident this one will accept the same sharpness and because of its extra lightness and shorter overall length may always need a slight amount of effort .The balance is on pay with its bigger brother and it's a good looking knife . Grip is a little less but that's because I have big hands and it's a very small knife . I'm confident it won't be a problem of safety just comfort while cutting .I like the ability to switch the pocket clip over as well , though it isn't a 4 way like the bigger one . From The box it's exactly what I wanted so no need to change anything .If you want a high quality knife that's light enough where you won't notice in pocket , even with sweats or lounge pants on , this knife will blow you away with what you get for its low low price .
