Columbia River CRKT 7086 Richard Rogers Dually Slipjoint Folding Knife 1.717" Bead Blasted Blade with Bottle Opener, Glass-Reinforced Nylon Handles (5 reviews)
I'm an office worker and a grandpa. I don't need a big knife. I need to be able to open a package at work or a grandchild's gift. It was only after I received the knife did I realize that it had a bottle opener too. This will be helpful at the end of a day at the office. The blade seems to be of high quality, sharp out of the box, and should last me for years. I'm concerned about the pocket clip as I've already had it catch on something and bend out of shape already. Time will tell. This was a reasonably priced knife that I hope will last me until my grand-kids can carry a knife and then I'll give it away. KnifeCenter, I was especially impressed with your ship time. Sadly, you gave the package to USPS and they took the most circuitous route to my home in SC!

Cons: Ease of Opening, Lock Ease of Use, Pocket Clip, Sheath
knife works good, but....
works ok as a bottle opener but not quite the best one out there. Has a couple liner-lock like tabs inside the handle on both sides and the way it's set up is REALLY stiff to open and close! Save your money and pick up a Spyderco standard clipitool, that one ought to be large enough to be a really good beer bottle opener PLUS it has a can opener AND a knife.

Pros: Blade Sharpness
Cons: Ease of Opening
cute
It's a very sharp knife and when it's open it fits nicely in your hand. Opening it is a challenge. If you try to open it like a flipper you'll put a triangle shaped hole in your thumb. So you kind of have to open it like a front flipper and then it stabs you in the palm. But it's a great knife. I love it.

It's a cute little knife, very sharp. Good blade steel. It's a little tricky to open. I haven't quite figured it out yet. To use it as a flipperer, there's a hook that goes right into the soft spot of the pad of your thumb. Yeah that kind of hurts. You can press your thumb against the flat side and push to the side, but it doesn't really want to do that and there's nothing to to grab on to. Or you can use it like a front flipper and that's a little more difficult. The blade is really stiff and that might work out. You know in time. I like it. It has a nice texture aluminum with fish scales. But it's a little smooth. Okay. I just figured out how to open it like you're flicking a bic lighter using your thumb and the blade tip pokes you a little bit on the way out but I don't know, I like it. It would be perfect pocket size if it wasn't for the hook on the end but it's got a lanyard hole. It just feels nice in your hand. I would recommend yeah.

I seek out one-hand open small knives that will carry in my jeans watch pocket, and this one seemed to fit the bill. CRKT makes many great knives, but this is not one of them. The blade shape and size is great for an inconspicuous and useful EDC, but it is so hard to open as to be frustrating in practice. The bottle opener element gets in the way of the apparent front flipper feature, and it takes me three motions to open it one-handed. Such a small knife makes one-handed opening risky anyway, but this one does nothing to help the user. That said, it is a well made knife for the money, and attractive with its carbon fiber scales and satin finish blade. I'll keep it in my collection but do not expect to carry it because of the awkward usability issues described above.
