Men's Folding Pocket Knife – 3.4" Sandvik 14C28N Blade Carbon Fiber Handle Ceramic Bearings Liner Lock Deep Pocket Clip – EDC Knife for Outdoor Hiking Survival Use

I ordered this knife after seeing Stassa23's in depth review. He called it a sleeper and he wasn't kidding. Assuming the blade steel is legit and the heat treat is on par with his example, this knife is a mind blower. My #2 has real carbon fiber scales and the fit/finish are nothing short of immaculate. The blade arrived hair popping sharp with a pretty even grind that seems exaggerated at the transition from hollow grind to flat grind near the tip. 14C28N drop point blade with a really attractive compound grind. Lockup is incredibly solid. The ceramic bearings make the blade drop shut after getting past the detent. Speaking of the detent, it is snappy without being too harsh. I really like the detent strength.I have a lot of knives that cost 3x as much as this knife and they are all inferior by comparison. When stock replenishes, I fully intend to buy more for gifts.I have the G10 version and the Carbon Fiber versions now and I have to comment on the differences between them. The G10 version does not have the thumb stud relief cutaways that allow better access for thumb stud deployment. The flipper is still very functional with the same difficult to fail detent though. The lack of a cutaway on the scales does make this knife slightly more difficult to deploy using the thumb stud. I understand that the choice to not relieve the scales there was likely made for cosmetic reasons as some of the hexagonal depressions would only be partially visible and they would have to redesign the way these scales were milled to account for that, which is considerably more work I imagine. One thing to also note is that the G10 feels almost polished and plasticky feeling. They aren't as grippy as one would imagine and I frankly think they could use sandblasting or something to get rid of this shiny look and feel. For the money spent, the G10 knife is still an unbelievable value and I still recommend it very much. I just think the Carbon is likely the best knife out of the bunch mainly due to the cutaways and not being a frame lock like the titanium version is. I will try to get a Ti version if I can just to complete the set though.

Got this on a prime day sale and the first one that came was missing a screw in the pocket clip, not a big deal I did the replacement process with Amazon which isn't a big deal. When I deployed it at first the action felt rough, but after a quick disassembly and addition of some oil, it's now pretty smooth. Also it came sharp but gave it a little strop and feels really nice afterwards. For the price, features, grind, materials and fit and finish, it's a pretty great value. Not bad for under $50 even better if you can catch this on sale.

when you get a new knife you always set it up to your liking. that being said the fit and finish were excellent carbon fiber scales very nice blade centering on the money the knife has a stiff detent and I like to reverse flick to open it so I took it apart took my Dremel and filed a little ramp on the detent hole that loosened up the detent just enough for my liking the bearings were a little dry so I lubed them up too. don't get me wrong it's a good knife right out of the box blade was sharp but like I say I like to tune it to how I like it

Overall pretty nice little edc pocket knife .fit and finish not bad ,nice quality.

The media could not be loaded. I’ve been carrying this knife several times over the past few months. It’s a solid, good knife for a work knife! Pretty sharp out of the box, and it seems to hold its edge very well.However, some of the screws in the pocket clip aren’t really dead center with the threads. It appears the carbon fiber scale covers it a bit. Nothing major, but for the price, it’s a really good knife!

VERY sharp good build, clip needed to be adjusted somewhat , it rattled a bit . Easy fix.

One of my favorites 😍

the packaging was impressive. The knife is very light weight, but seems strong. The flip open and closed action is not as smooth as I expected.
