Pocket Knife 3.5" Folding Knife Premium 14C28N Blade, Bicolour G10 Handle Design with Pocket Clip for Men Women, Small EDC Knife for Camping, Hunting, Hiking, Survival and Outdoor Activities, ROOK Series

This is probably the best folding camping knife I've ever had. The edge is very sharp; so sharp that I didn't need to hone the edge or do anything to the blade to get it to what I consider a good sharpness. This is unusual for me, as while most blades are quite sharp on delivery, I still need to give them some attention before I'll use them. That wasn't the case here.The knife is small enough to easily fit in a pocket while closed, or you could keep it in a backpack in the enclosed case. The case is actually large enough to fit a few other smaller supplies, or even a small diamond hone, although none is included. There is a strong pocket clip that could be used as well.I'm not sure what the purpose of the Zircons at the base of the handle are for, but hey, they're pretty.While the advertisement states that the knife has a flipper for easy one-handed opening, I find it almost impossible to do. This is by no means a red flag for me; there are a lot of knives that some people can open one handed that I cannot. The blade is quite easy to open, just make sure it locks into place before using. Unlocking and folding can be a bit dangerous if you try it one-handed, in my opinion.I took it outside and tried it out on some branches of different types. It was easy to sharpen or cut notches in sticks 1 inch around or larger. It would be easy to make kindling for a fire, or trim branches to help build a shelter.I then took it inside and used it to prepare dinner. It was just as sharp as when I got it. The handle is pretty much non-slip, even when a bit greasy.This is a great knife, and I wish I could give it more than five stars!

Very nice, well made, good looking, opening takes a bit to get used to

UPDATE - I was wrong about softness of the steel, and I was right about the edge burr. I did have to re-profile the edge, and once the burr was removed and edge polished, the edge holds properly. This steel is NOT soft, it is good quality steel, the only issue is that it the edge from the factory was sharpened very fast and it came with a heavy burr. When I initially stropped the edge it did not remove all of the burr, instead it only aligned it, and once I began trying to cut, it was the burr the rolled right away, not the edge itself.Manufacturer did contact me regarding my initial 2 star review and offered a refund. After I got to re-profiling the edge, no refund is needed, this is a good quality little knife and steel holds its edge.Original review begins here /////High quality liner lock construction, but the blade steel is either poorly hardened (if at all), or it's low grade stainless steel and not 9Cr18MoV.Overall it's a very good design small factor knife, flawless operation of the lock, there is no play in the lock, but as soon as the blade was used for cutting into a plastic wire, blade edge rolled right away.I did use a strop to even out the edge before use so there was no burr on the edge, and it's the edge that just rolled over. Not even low cost kitchen knives roll edges like that.Later I'll try to re-profile the edge, but I'm not keeping my hopes up about steel hardness on this blade.

The media could not be loaded. This knife has exceptionally smooth operation for this price point. There is zero wiggle when open. The entire blade is polished, even the sides and back, including where it meets the liner lock. This knife has features I have not seen before, such as the faceted gems on either side above the clip. It has a hidden loop at the center of that pin for attaching a leash.The clip is medium-strength. It is easy to slide over the edge of my pocket, but it has not pulled away from the grip. It feels like maybe if I pulled hard it might bend out, but I haven’t forced it to test that out. The clip sits recessed inti the grip scales, which are made from a lightweight composite that feels halfway between g10 and carbon fiber. The screws sit flush. The screws appear to be standard t8 and t6 size, but I had trouble unscrewing them. The main screw on the pivot I can loosen or tighten, but it got stuck before coming all the way unscrewed. I got the top screw on the clip out no problem with a t6 bit, but my bit slipped free on the lower one and I gave up trying to disassemble this knife. I’m not sure if they use a different size or if they just come really tight.The grip fits my full hand in a glove. It’s a comfortable size, I just get all four knuckles on it.Uses a wider blade with a capsule-shaped cutout for opening it. This is similar to a Spyderco, and takes a little getting use to using the edge of my finger in this way. It fits the meat of the finger that bulges out beside the fingernail. Can be easier or more difficult with gloves, depending on the gloves and where the seams are located.The blade arrives sharp. After doing some pruning, it was still slicing paper neatly, with one spot giving resistance. I corrected this in a minute with a sharpener. It sharpens a little easier than D2 steel. Noticeably harder than the lower cr- steels.Looks awesome. I love how the gem on the handle shows when it’s clipped in my pocket.Comes with zippered case, extra screws, cloth, stickers… it’s a nice item.Exceeded my expectations

The compact design and pocket clip make it convenient for everyday carry, ensuring that it’s always within reach when I need it. Sharpness is excellent but it isn't convenience for clipping onto pockets based on the design.

I bought this 3" folding knife for daily use. It is the perfect size to get the job done. It fits well in my hands. If you have large hands, you might think this knife is a bit small, but for the average sized hand, this knife fits perfectly and feels balanced in your hand. It's small enough to fit securely and privately in your pocket. blade folds in/out smoothly and locks securely. It's easy to open/close with one hand operation. Great sharp blade that holds edge well. Great gift idea.
