SHAN ZU Pocket Knife 3.2 in, Powder Steel Blade EDC Folding Knife for Men & Women, Utility Survival Knife with Shredded Carbon Fiber Handle & Pocket Clip for Camping Fishing Hiking Hunting-Gold Foil

I love this knife, the price was low, was kinda not expecting much, but I got near perfection. The listing is wrong, too, it's not a tanto blade, it's more like a hingonokami, like the tanto, also traditional Japanese blade shape. Tantos have two cutting edges, this just has one slightly curved edge, kinda like a sheepsfoot shape. Handle is fairly wide, so big-handers will find it comfortable, but not so huge that a petite person would find it unwieldly. Fiberglass hadle, G-10 is grippy, sturdy and light, kinda industry standard now. D2 is tool steel, so it should hold a good edge, not gonna say it's sharp because knives from mfgs these days are all sharp or they're defective. Thumb stud in such a good position, very fun to open, very smooth, nice pocket clip, sturdy. If you've never owned a button lock knife, pressing the button allows the blade to swing free and you just flip it closed. Opening can be with the button and a wrist flick or thumb stud. Generous and well placed lanyard hole. All these features are found on much more expensive knives usually, and this is not just trying to copy quality, they really achieved it. As a collector, this might be the best value I have EVER seen and I have over 1300 folding pocket knives.

Very nice.

I have waited a while after purchase to write this so that I was able to get an good feel for the knife. It arrived RAZOR sharp, and has maintained it's factory edge an amazing amount of time. I have hacked into a pallet with it, driven the point into plywood, cut corrugated cardboard. The blade locking system is great, and keeps your fingers out of the blade path. One handed operation is simple. The handle is well contoured for my hand.Now the one weakeness is the pocket clip. The hole that was put in it to allow access to the screws left the area on either side of the hole very thin. On my second day wearing this knife, the clip got snagged and bent outward. I have not been able to make it regain it's shape. I'm concerned about working the metal too much and having it break.To the manufacturer: Gauge up or add some more thickness!

This knife is comfortable to use, the action is quick and slick. Detent is just right without being too light. Wicked sharp right out of the box. The only thing I would ding is that the color is much brighter in the picture than in real life. In the photos it looks like a bright gold, in reality it's closer to a mustard and a bit duller. Still enjoy this knife for sure

The knife was what I eclectic it to be. It looks good and the Craftsmanship is good. It feels good in the hand and operates smoothly I really like to thumb lock button. The knife was a as sharp as I expected it to be out of the box. However it wasn't as sharp as it could be. It took me a little time to put a razor sharp edge on the knife, but blade should retain its edge longer due to its temper. Over all this is s good pocket knife for the price.

I like the overall sturdy construction and fit and finish of this knife I also liked the easy flick of the wrist opening with the button lock and gravity drop closed with the button lock completely trivial one handed operation but the knife seems a lot securely feels good in the hand felt like a more expensive knife

This is a very nice knife.

Both knives were will madeFit and finish as good as SOG. I would recommend a buy.
