GVDV Folding Pocket Knife with G10 Handle, 7CR17 Stainless Steel EDC Knife with Safety Liner Lock, Hunting Camping Hiking Fishing Knife for Men Women, Silver

Okay, this is a cheap knife, and it looks like a cheap knife, which is part of it's appeal: It has a certain understated menace that's a great counterpoint to its outstanding practicality and surprisingly good fit and finish. One look at this thing, and you can tell it ain't a Spyderco or something you ordered from an LL Bean Catalog. It looks like the kind of knife you'd get mugged with in the 1970s, but it's a far more versatile and well-made tool than the Mexican gravity knives I bought on 42nd Street as a teenager, and it somehow manages to be elegant and kind of vulgar and disturbing at the same time. I would say it probably has the best price-to-value ratio of any cheap knife I've bought on Amazon. Put it this way: The action is definitely better than the low-end Kershaws I've bought. It opens more easily, and the metal tolerances are tighter, which is astonishing, though it's not in the same league as Kershaw's higher-end offerings, like the Launch 4, which costs a lot more and is a lot smaller. I The spring is strong, and it doesn't take much pressure on the spur on the blade to open it. It's been my EDC carry for months now, and the blade still isn't wobbling at all. I use it mostly for opening packages or other mundane household chores, which is its primary purpose, but I always open-carry a knife for last-ditch self defense whenever I'm in a dodgy neighborhood (if it's legal per city, state, and federal law, which it is most places I go except some of my workplaces, and of course it stays home when I'm there.) Another plus: The backside of the blade is sharp enough to finish cutting packing tape if you start the cut with the front, and that's a good idea, because this seems to be cheap steel-- I'm sure it will need sharpening pretty soon, but not at excessively short intervals. 7CR17 -- if that's what it really is -- is actually a very solid alloy for survival knives. The clip is pretty loose, but not the worst I've seen, and it's never dropped out of my pocket when I've been driving. I'm no knife expert, but I have owned dozens of knives, and this one vastly exceeded my expectations. From the other reviews, it looks like quality control may vary, but I definitely wound up with a good specimen. The included sharpening stone is a nice plus, and it even comes in a little velvet bag.

Nice knife. Solidly built, no wobbles. Shaved hair off arm and hand right out of the box. Very sharp. Nice easy motion to open.

A good solid knife. The blade folds very smoothly. Good "every day carry" knife. Lots of quality for a low price.

Well made, tight construction, blade is crazy sharp right out of the box. My only criticism is that the blade is very narrow for the size of the knife body. The body could support a little wider blade. The online pictures don't really show this, but just be aware the blade is not well proportioned to the knife. That might just be my preference though. For the money this is a decent knife.

High quality, really sharp, and feels extremely tough. I love it!

Another great knife for the collection. This makes a great EDC option with its old-school flare and modern styling. Great value for the money. Also the asisited opening feature is just right, not so strong it wants to jump out of your hand

It's not as easy to flip out compared to my other spring assisted knives but it's barely noticeable I'm sure with time it will loosen up as it feels like there is a lot of tension. The blade isn't as sharp as I would like, it came with a cheap sharpening block so I guess that makes it a little better but I'm not sure if it is even the right kind of block it feels cheap. Other than that it's a fine knife. I won't be returning it if that counts.

I ordered one these a few weeks ago. This is the best-designed, non-switchblade or gravity "tactical" knife that I have ever owned/carried, and I have carried such for longer than I have been licensed to carry a concealed weapon/handgun (1975). MUCH easier to open one-handed than those that require you thumb a knob on the side of the blade. The shoulder against which the Liner Lock rests on the base of the blade is easily accessible without requiring any disassembly, so the lock-up can be tuned if you wish for it to be a little more positive. I am contemplating dressing that location the slightest bit, although it does not really NEED the attention. The knife fits very well & comfortably in my hand and I find that the rather long pocket clip aids in the secure, one-handed deployment of the blade, as it allows me to more securely grasp the knife during this action. The knife has decent weight and a solid feel to it and the blade locks-up tight. I have found it easy to safely go thru the open/close evolution using just one hand. I am delighted that I accidentally stumbled across this excellent knife. I just placed an order for a second one. :)
