Review: Great price, Great knife - I've gotta be honest, I was really on the fence about this knife. I really wanted the knife that this one is based off of but I just could'nt justify the price difference for it. I went to the local hardware store and looked at the other guys' knife through the glass but never got to handle one. I was beating myself up about it, trying to justify the costs when I noticed this Imperial Schrade clone. I figued for the price if I wasn't crazy about it I would just tuck it away in a drawer or tackle box. As soon as I slid it out of the cardboard, I knew this was gonna be my new daily carry. For some perspective, I usually carry a Buck Stockman that I've had for years. I still love that knife but like I said, this style really just caught my eye. This knife has a solid open position and a snappy closing. The blade is pretty close to center when closed and the edge was fairly sharp out of the box, the geomtry is a little off but nothing that can't be worked out with a stone. The fit in my hand is really nice, damn near the same dimensions as the stockman, just a bit slimmer, a hell of a lot lighter as this is a single bladed knife. The only realy negative I have, and it's pretty trivial, is there is definitely a little rubbery oily smell to this knife. It's the handles, their made out of some kind of plastic compound that is off-gassing. It's not terrible but it's noticeable. If you're even considering this stlye of knife, you really can't go wrong with the Imperial.
Review: Can’t beat the price and holds edge decent. - I love to whittle and this is a sweep little knife that holds an edge remarkably well I bought several more and have them stashed away just in case. Can’t beat the price

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it say "China" on any blade?**
A: This knife has only one blade and it does not say China on it anywhere.

**Q: Does the blade lock?**
A: No. The blade doesn’t lock. I use this pocketknife often and haven’t had any problems/accidents being that it doesn’t.

**Q: does it have a clip?**
A: No clip.

**Q: Just wondering, if the spine of the blade is capable of being used on a ferro rod (of course in the closed position since it doesn't lock)? Thank you!**
A: I had not problem using the knife with a fire starter but it is my understanding that ferro rods can have different harness ratings. The lock on my knife is still very strong after I think 8 years now of daily carry but I might have just gotten a gem. Either way for the price I don't think you can get a better pocket knife.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great price, Great knife

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Move over case sodbuster there is a new game in town
*by F***Y on January 23, 2026*

These things are hands down insane! So so worth the money. Handles are so smooth blade is super sharp and with a minute of stropping its hair popping. The crazy part is I have a case sodbuster and I like this better !!! It’s almost identical but it’s just slightly smother and more ergonomic! These are absolute work machines. At the price of a snap blade disposable box cutter. I now have the black and the yellow and carry these in my rotation for edc but reach for these in the morning before going out the door more than my case knives. These things are just beautiful. It’s honestly worth the price of a case sod buster. Will open boxes and packages and slice cardboard cut packing straps and skid wrap all day long. I’ll hit it on a strop for 30 seconds and blade is shaving sharp again for the next few days.
