EDC Folding Pocket Knife, 3'' Razor Sharp Coated Finish, Plain Edge, Grivory Handle with Belt Clip, Thumb Stud Manual Open (Black Blade)

So this is clearly a knock off Bugout. The weight and price make that clear. But let's take a look. Cons: 1. The action was not smooth at all upon receipt. It was hard to open and needed pushing on the back of the blade to close. 2. There is some play in the blade when open, clearly showing poor tolerance during building. 3. The weight is so light that it concerns me that it won't be durable long term and hold up. 4. The quality of the steel is mediocre. It's fine, but not great and did not come very sharp, so needed a few passes on a stone immediately upon receipt. Pros: 1. Clearly a low cost for a crossbar lock knife. 2. After a few days of use the action really cleaned up and improved. Now it can be closed by simply flicking it. Very satisfying and fidgetty. 3. Pretty easy to sharpen even though it might need more sharpening than a d2 or other better steel. 4. The locking mechanism seems quite strong and reliable. I tried to make it fail and couldn't. I don't expect any issues with the lock during normal use. So overall, I feel the pros outweigh the cons. It is a nice little knife that doesn't call for much investment. If an excellent build quality or better steel are high on your list, you'll want to get an authentic Bugout and be willing to pay the higher price.

Im sure the blade quality is lower, but this is a great little knockoff of a much more expensive blade.

If you want a Bugout but can't justify the price, give this a try. I'm very impressed with the quality. It has bronze washers and after a couple drops of oil and a few dozen cycles, the action is super smooth. The knife is super lightweight and thin. It caries effortlessly. You barely know it's on you. Very sharp out of the box. Nice edge grind, blade centering, and no flaws I can detect on the blade coating. The only shortcoming over the real bugout IMO is you get 8cr13mov instead of S30V. But it's only $21!!!

Great knife without breaking the bank. I love the slick design and locking mechanism. Is super light weight. I use for work everyday and hold sharpness and still in great condition.

Knife is surprisingly well made. I bought this as a test run for the Benchmade Bugout. I wanted to see if I would enjoy carrying a knife this light. I have held both in my hands at the same time and they feel very similar. Look very similar. Actions operate very similar as well. This knife needed a few times being opened and closed to “break in” but have carried it daily for the past month and really enjoy it. Definitely going to be a beater carry for me. I also put it through a ceramic sharpener a few times and it opens boxes very well

Poor quality blade. Will not buy again from this seller

So we all know this is a cheap knockoff of the bugout knife. I purchased it to see if I really wanted to spend the $200 on the real thing. Surprisingly I loved the size and lightweight feel to this knife. The tip bent and then snapped when bending it back within the first month of general use. based on the low grade steal this makes a perfect backup knife to be left in a work bag, tool box, or vehicle. But I wouldn't use it as my daily carry. Looks amazing, great color scheme.

Good knife. Handle seems a little fragile but worth the money.
