BGT Classic Pocket Folding Knife with 7Cr17Mov Stainless Steel,Outdoor Tactical Knives with Rose Wood Handle For BC Camping Hiking Fishing,Gifts for Men Women Husband Dad

I received this knife today and out of the box, it is very impressive. I have owned and used three other knives at about this price point and similar design, and this one is superior (so far) to all of them. Here's the pros and con and a suggestion: Pro: 1. Yes it's 50% heavier. That's because it is so solidly built. 2. It is not spring loaded and it has a safety latch to keep it from opening on it's own in your pocket. Great idea. 3. The included sharpening stone works well. 5. The knife sharpens easily and seems to hold it's edge. 5. The workmanship looks outstanding and it appears that all of the between surface connections are solid. Some people found that those connections loosened up over time. We shall see. 6. The designs on the blade are very nice. 7. the larger size of the knife facilitates it fitting solidly in the hand. 8. The price is crazy low. 9. It even comes in a box and soft cloth bag for storage. Cons: 1. It is heavier than similarly designed knives by 50%. 2. If you are looking for a spring loaded knife, this isn't it. Here's a suggestion: Every one of my other three similar knives have wood on their sides. And the wood on every one was dried out and dull looking when I received it. So I immediately put a small drop of virgin olive oil on my index finger and wiped it all over the wood of both sides, then let it soak in and repeated the process. The second time I wiped the olive oil off with a piece of paper towel after a few minutes. I repeated these steps one more time and then I repeat the process every few weeks. On this knife (and my others), the wood just soaked up the oil and ended up looking 100% better; The oil darkened the wood some so it looks richer, the grain is more defined, and the wood shines. I'm betting the wood will last a lot longer too without splitting or coming loose. SIX MONTHS LATER: I love this knife. It has become my "go to" knife. Here are the reasons. 1. The blade is made of very good steel and holds its edge longer than any other knife I have. 2. The weight, while an early concern, is actually an advantage. It gives the knife "heft" and for really soft things, like a soft berry or soft tomato, all that has to be done is put the knife on the item to be sliced, keep it guided, and let the weight of the knife itself determine how fast it wants to cut through. I can cut an overripened tomato by applying no downward pressure beyond the weight of the knife, and the cut is perfect and the tomato is not crushed at all. 3. The wood, once oiled, looks much better. 4. The belt clip is very sold. I don't have to worry about it moving or it slipping off your belt. And a few detractors...none enough to make me change my mind: 1. The weight makes the knife less likely to be taken along on a long hike. 2. The blade is screwed on and will loosen up a bit after a few months of use. However, a turn with a flat blade glasses or watch screwdriver tightens it up nicely and it holds for months. 3. The wood will dry out if it is not vegetable oiled every few months. But it's easy to do: put a few drops of olive oil on your fingertip and rub it into the wood. Give it an hour to soak in and then rub the remainder off with a soft cloth.l. You will be amazed at the improvement.

This is a nice knife for the price! It's got a great lock and the wood grip is nice. However, it sticks out too much and catches on my jeans. Nothing a little sandpaper won't fix but it's kind of annoying. It's on the heavier side, and is a little larger than pocketknives I've had in the past. But it doesn't feel cheap. It's easy to flip it out and it's sharp as heck right out of the box. I've read some of the reviews and I did notice mine didn't come with a sharpening stone. I actually purchased this because my wife got me the same knife engraved for our 10 year anniversary and I was totally impressed with it, but I didn't want to ruin it with daily use.

One sweet lock back knife

For $15 this knife is well worth the money. It is heavy, sturdy, well made, and was sharp right out of the box. The lock needed slight pressure toward the lock position to align properly, and has not failed to lock one time since then. Easy open, nice looks, and interesting lasered pattern. All in all, great purchase for less than $20.

I like the look and it's a nice knife to carry, but the pocket clip will stick to my pocket and it takes forever to get out.

It feels like a real durable knife. I mean, it's a pocket knife, it's not a cheaply made one, and it's not overly expensive. The sharpness stays longer than most. It's great to look at and it's well balanced.

It arrived nice and sharp and looks amazing. I do wish it opened a little easier. It isnt difficult but it doesn't swing open quite like I want it to, but it's still a great knife so five stars all around.

I doubt this is truly Damascus steel. The pattern is wrong. It has whorls instead of straight lines. And the pattern repeats itself from one side to the other. The coloring is wrong as well. It appears to be a chemical etching, NOT a truly folded Damascus steel product. For a bonus round, the steel portion of the frame also has the etched pattern. No manufacturer would waste good Damascus steel on the frame of a folding knife. It is a heavy, sturdy pocket knife but it isn't what you think it is. I am a manufacturing engineer and I have handled real Damascus steel before.
