OLITANS G040 Pocket Knife, 2.75'' D2 Steel Blade G10 handle, Small EDC Knife with Pocket Clip for Men Women, 2.1oz

The steel holds a sharp edge for a long time. I really like the size and weight a lot. The only con is the first one was very hard to open. I returned it for an exchange and the second one opens much more easily. The shape of the blade is very good for all around use and the drop point is almost centered on the blade which makes it great for drilling holes.UPDATE: I did something stupid and broke the tip on the knife. For a replacement I looked all over Amazon but for me this was the best style, shape and size for the money….so I ordered another one and I am super happy with the new knife. It opens even better and more smoothly than the one before.

My favorite EDC pocket knife. Light, compact, very sharp, solid liner lock mechanism,, easy-open (check local laws for any potentially applicable restrictions). I've got lots of other blades, but this is the one I routinely find myself carrying.There's a shorter verion of this knife from the same maker which I also tried, but it was too small for my large-ish hands.Great steel. The natural G10 scales are nicely finished, and slip-resistant. Affordable. Just a great knife.

What a fantastic little red knife! Solid build, silky smooth deployment right out of the box. Careful attention being paid to quality build details, this knife came sharp and oiled. I recommend this little knife for unobtrusive edc as it sits low in jean's knife pocket. Good for collecting or gifting, this is a good value.

Small compact EDC appropriate for opening boxes and other light tasks. Added a lanyard. Clip was replaced with a slightly larger and sturdier spare I had to allow easier return to pocket. Not as light as it could be as steel below the scales is thicker than most knives this size but still pretty light. Easy deployment. Sharp. Will probably add some jimping on the spine for thumb traction.Cheap enough to justify the modifications which are essential for any EDC as far as I’m concerned.

I like the texture, blade is sharp and knife is compact and slim when folded.

This knife checks all the boxes. First of all I love thee perfectly symmetrical appearance, trulina best looking gentleman's knife. Super Snappy it's open like a much heavier blade and locks in every time. Super light but still feels very strong. Fits great in the 5th/ watch pocket on all of my jeans. Extremely sharp right out of the box and D2 Steel is a good budget knife blade. Will be buying several more colors to have and and give a special gifts

I’ve never heard of the brand, however I decided to give it a try. I’m glad I did! This knife quickly became my EDC (Every Day Carry) knife. It arrived super-sharp, feels great in the hand, it’s super light, and opens with a satisfying “snap”! Awesome for one-handed operation. My new favorite!

This knife is nice, but after a got it an tried to use it to open a box, I realized I had made a terrible mistake.Problem 1:The blade and handle are both perfectly symmetrical. Now imagine needing to put some additional leverage on the blade, which is almost exactly as long as the handle, after putting it down somewhere and picking it up again. What's stopping you from accidentally holding the knife the wrong way and sliding your finger up the sharp side of the blade instead of the back? Nothing but that little flipper fin. Or the clip. Can you remember which side the clip is on?I have a Gerber I've used for many years, and when I compared the two I realized that it's much safer for a folding pocket knife to be very asymmetrical, so that when you pick it up you literally can't hold it backwards, even without thinking about it. So I put this one away on a shelf and will probably never use it. But it looks nice.Problem 2:This seems to be a general issue with "flipper" knives, but the blade is nearly as long as the handle. If you butt the end of the knife handle up against your palm to give the maximum "oomph" to the flipper action (which is an instinctive unconscious tendency), you'll end up getting a scratch/cut on your palm because the razor sharp tip of the blade is just a couple of millimeters away from the end of the handle. I guess they try to maximize the length of the blade as an advertising feature, but it just seems impractical to me. And the tip of the blade is so pointy that it's nearly as sharp on the way out as on the way in. Like a needle.Problem 3:The blade is too long compared to the length and width of the handle, which makes it seem like you can't properly wield the blade without having a death grip on the handle, or (again) thinking about sliding your index finger up on the back of the blade for more control. Just doesn't feel comfortable to actually use.But boy, it's nicely made, the flipper action works beautifully, the contrast between the black and the translucent colored scales is really nice, and the clip is fine. It's just not practical for me, after holding it in my hand and using it. It made me realize that my old pocket knife that has an elegant curve on the back side is actually a pretty good design. Now I'm looking for knives that are similarly asymmetrical.
