Just received my Pazoda today. Its is a lot smaller than i pictured but, its a great looking little knife. Go pocket/purse size. I think I just found the knife for my wife. Perhaps neck carry style. I myself like a little meat on my knife. Its a great buy. Wallace Brown

Great for the price

It cuts through things easily. Super sharp and sturdy blade. Easy to open quickly or with one hand. It's very compact considering the blade length, and it fits into my pocket easily.

Small money, great little knife !

I've owned several of these as well as the larger version. Great for those common, relatively light everyday tasks - open letters and boxes, cut string and tape, "manicuring", etc. Inexpensive enough that if it gets lost or a "loaner" doesn't come back it isn't the end of the world. I find it quite comfortable for such a small knife even though I have arthritis. The only problem I had on one knife was that the frame lock would push the blade out of alignment. Loosen pivot screw, realign, a little thread locker, tighten screw - voila', solved. I have more expensive EDCs, but this little one gets the most use by far. I'm sure those with the need for a heavier duty blade will necessarily look elsewhere but In the context of value for the money, this little critter is definitely a 5 star.

Good little knife

This is a good everyday carrier. The steel is hard and keeps a good edge. I like the frame lock feature because just flipping the knife open locks the blade, but not too tight. If you have a heavier duty job, you can squeeze the frame lock and make the blade more secure. It is just like it's larger brother, but easily slips into a pocket and is out of the way,

POCKET GEM

I HAVE THIS ON MY KEYCHAIN. IT'S JUST THE RIGHT SIZE FOR THOSE LITTLE JOBS LIKE OPENING MAIL, CUTTING STRING OR PLASTIC STRAPS. I LOVE KNIVES WITH HOLES IN THE BLADES TO OPEN THEM, MUCH SIMPLER THAN STUDS OR DISKS. ALSO YOU GET TO USE THE WHOLE BLADE FOR CUTTING AND NOT WORRY SNAGGING A STUD. SHARP LIKE A RAZOR TOO.

A good little knife for the money

This is a nice little knife, pretty and practical. It could serve as a gentleman's knife. I've been looking for a knife that fits along side my hip pocket wallet. While it didn't fit exactly as I hoped, that's not a fault of the knife. It has some nice surfaces suitable for engraving. I bought it on sale for ten bucks and I am satisfied.

Pros: Weight, Pocket Clip, Blade Material, Overall Quality, Blade Sharpness
Cons: Handle Feel, Lock Ease of Use

It's smaller than it looks.

2.125 plain blade? They start that measurement from where the knife pivots. Meaning that there's only 1.3/4 inches of usable edge on this knife. However, it makes up for its size by being able to hold a razor sharp edge. Yes, it'll actually sharpen up well enough to shave the hair off your body. It's light enough that you can clip it to your belt and completely forget where you put it. You don't even notice it. The locking mechanism is very solid. As is the pocket clip. But both require a bit of effort to use.

Excellent small EDC

I always carry a pocket knife, but rarely do I ever need one of the monsters that you so often find in the EDC world. This blade is small, light, and unobtrusive. The action is smooth and the lock-up is tight with no blade play. For a budget knife the steel is also pretty good. The ergonomics are great for a small knife, the handle and jimping make it very usable despite its diminutive size. The blade came sharp, but not super sharp and the edge grind was slightly uneven------but for a budget knife you can't expect perfection. My only true concern is the thumb hole area for opening the knife. As the jimping on the thumb ramp leads up to the thumb hole there is an area where the steel is less than a millimeter thick! This design flaw is unlikely to cause any problems with everyday use, but I'm worried that if I drop this knife on a hard surface the thumb ramp might just snap...

Nothing to Brag About - but Useful

this is a serviceable knife, with a less than average blade quality. It can open boxes, but will not keep an edge. Well made, and small. The best thing it has going for it is the price. Carrying it to the office is easy and it does come in handy on those occasions when only a knife will do.

Good for a cheap, small knife.

For it's genre this is a very usable knife, as in just something small to stick in your pocket and not worry about. At under $20 it's not concerning if I lose this knife or it gets damaged or anything. With that said there really aren't too many good things about this knife. When I purchased it the tip was basically blunt, and the blade wasn't all that sharp out of box. Not cool. the tiny oval shaped deployment hole means the knife cannot be snapped open, it has to be guided open, which isn't really too bad but can be seen as a con. The lock is one of the worst things about the knife. It's a framelock, so it's very strong and reliable, but the framelock on my knife is extremely stiff. It makes it difficult to close the knife and I basically have to get under it with my thumbnail to release the framelock. When I was carrying this knife my right hand thumbnail actually broke down as a result of closing this knife so many times. The pocket clip is another con. It's a pretty loose clip, less tension than even a paper clip. The knife just kind of slides over your pocket but there's no retention. Another weird thing about this knife is that there is sort of a spike/protrusion on the top of the blade when the knife is closed. It's a dull spike, but when I reached into my pocket to grab this knife the first time I thought it had come open in my pocket, because my hand hit that little spike. So that also makes it a little uncomfortable to carry daily. Overall, it really isn't a bad knife despite all those cons. Considering it's price, it's really up to you whether you want to carry it. I bought it just for a small cheap knife that was legal to carry on my college campus, but there definitely are some kind of lame things about this knife.
