HX OUTDOORSFolding Pocket Knife, Premium D2 Steel Foldable EDC Camping Knife with Titanium Alloy Handle, Portable Clip EDC Tools for Camping Hiking Survival Outdoor, Men Women Gift

This has been a fantastic little pocket carry, but my only concern is that there is no lock on the blade as a safety measure. That being said, the blade stays firmly in place when it is folded out, but I'm always paranoid it's going to come loose.Fantastically made blade and the scales are extremely well made for the same price range of knives; an absolutely killer deal for a D2 steel blade!

I’m becoming a fan of the HX knives. This is my third knife from them, and each one has been made very well. It comes in a nice protective case you can later use for storing other camping essentials or some survival goodies.

I don't consider myself a knife connoisseur, but it's hard for me to pass up a good knife. I saw this and thought I would give it a try as I can always use another knife stashed somewhere (trailer, vehicle, hunting/fishing gear...) Right off I was impressed in the case that it came in with good foam padding. Given that I will keep the knife in a toolbox, tackle box, my truck or somewhere, I don't need the case for the knife, but it was very nicely repurposed to hold broadheads for my crossbow. The knife, itself, looks pretty sharp and, in my opinion, is pretty well made - it feels solid, yet lightweight, and has a standard belt clip that I think is fine. Having used this a little bit now I can tell you that it is super sharp! And it feels like it will hold a nice edge if taken care of.The reason that I took 2 stars off is because there is NO LOCKING MECHANISM. I was considering just taking 1 start off because it is nice and very sharp, but I had to go with -2 stars because this is a safety issue. The knife does have a fairly positive stop when it is open to 90 degrees and then all the way open, so it's not like the blade is flopping around, but I probably would not have gotten this had I realized that it doesn't mechanically lock open. Because of that I think this is OK for some light work, but even with how nice it looks and how sharp it is, it won't be my go-to knife, and I'm not sure that I'd recommend it for that reason, either.

This knife uses a slip joint instead of the more popular frame, linear, or button locks you find on these types. I think this is a great learning knife for first time owners like Scouts since it requires two hand opening and closing, which is much safer than slinging it open and closing on your pants legs as many get in the habit of doing.The D2 steel holds up well to abuse but to sharpen it back to a decent edge, you'll need a diamond sharpener. The carbide is large so it won't come back to any kind of razor edge but it works well as an extra blade for cars or shops.

Since the listing shows that this is a no lock knife, I already knew that it was when I ordered it. So if I didn't like that about it that would be on me, wouldn't it? And I could tell there was no other way to orient the clip because it is held on with those three screws, and there's nowhere else on the knife that has three holes in that configuration that it could be moved to. I will say that the clip is super tight though. However, I imagine it will become less tight the more it is used.Well, the only complaint that I have regarding this knife, isn't even about the knife. It's the case that the knife comes in. I'm not going to reduce my rating because of it though, because I'm pretty sure the putting of the barcode sticker in the worst place is Amazon's doing. And it happens all of the time. It would be one thing if they were easy to get off, but no... Whatever adhesive is on the back of them is pure evil. Anyway, here's a tip for anyone who would like to be able to get the barcode stickers off as clean as I can. You know, which you should be able to tell by looking at the two photos that I uploaded. I use this stuff called "un-du." It's some pretty serious stuff but it does the job.And one last thing. Just because this is a no lock knife doesn't mean it's going to fling open or closed arbitrarily. I have to use both hands to open and close the thing. I actually have never used a knife like this before and I didn't even knew any like it existed. But since it DOES exist, there must be people out there that prefer knives like this. So I thought I'd try it out, and in my opinion it's a pretty good knife.

Overall, this is a really good knife as far as functionality goes. It is extremely sharp, and it is both lightweight and comfortable to hold. It looks good, and the belt clip is useful. That being said, it's a little too simple for my liking typically. First of all, there's no mechanism to flip it open. You have to grab the blade and open with two hands, which makes it quite a bit more tedious to open than many pocket knives. It has two "open" stages, one being 90° open and the other being open all the way. While I'm not sure why the 90° stage exists, it is nice for closing, since there is no locking mechanism. Pushing it closed somewhat stops halfway, so unless you're applying a lot of force, you're unlikely to accidentally close it on your fingers, though that's technically still a danger to worry about with no lock. Overall, it's a good, sharp knife, and for $30 (plus a 30% off coupon) at the time of writing this review, I think it's probably a fine value for the price!

Heavy duty steel pocket knife. Very durable knife. Razor sharp blade. Nice sturdy handle that fits nicely in my hand. Beautiful knife. Nice weight to it. Great value for the money.

Nice pocket knife. This knife has a good sharp edge, is comfortable in my hand, and compact enough to go anywhere. This a well made and quality knife. It does take a bit of effort to open and close, and as with any knife, you need to be careful when closing. It does stop at 90 degrees both opening and closing, which gives some protection from accidentally closing on your fingers. I find this knife versatile and it will be great for hiking or camping. Overall a nice knife for the price.
