Columbia River CRKT K350KXP Ken Onion Slacker Flipper Knife 3.324" Satin Drop Point Blade, Gray Aluminum Handles - Field Strip Technology (8 reviews)
This is a great looking and feeling knife. I am always looking for a stylish and easy to carry EDC, and I might just have found it here. It is nicely balanced and comfortable in the hand, I especially like the way the curve of the blade integrates with the handle. It was shaving-sharp out of the box and is easy to keep sharp with a few touchups on an Arkansas stone. My one criticism is the action is a bit sluggish, you have to give it an extra flip sometimes as it doesn't fully open every time. Also, the little locking lever has a tendency to move, but these are small gripes. It has a slim profile and the milled handles give a sure grip. I will be carrying this little beauty more often than not.

I am shocked by how well centered the blade stays even after taking it apart and putting it back together multiple times. The action is better than I expected. Quite sharp out of the box as well. Overall a very satisfying and usable knife. Despite the slightly underwhelming steel, I would have no problem recommending it, especially once you consider the price.

Great value
Got it for just under 35$, the scales are nicely made and the field-strip mechanism works great. Thick enough behind the edge to be strong but still remain somewhat "slicy". Only "complait" is that it's not as sharp out of the box as most other knives, but that's an easy fix. Amazing value for what you get!

Tackle box
Nice smaller knife. Works as it should and feels good in the hand. Got it because it comes apart and can be cleaned. Going right in the tackle box. Good fishing knife.

Not as Great as I Thought
I already reviewed this when I got it, and now after using it for a few months, I have some additional comments. 1.) The liner lock pushes the blade off-center when it's closed. It isn't a huge issue, but over time, it can wear on the inside of the handle. 2.) For a $100 "knifemakers" knife, I would expect better steel, it's okay but doesn't hold an edge as well as many other steels in the same class. 3.) Due to the Field Strip feature, there is a lot of play in the blade when open. It's a nice idea, but I don't really need to disassemble this so I would rather see a version without that and a better blade. 4.) The action is still a bit sluggish, you have to give the flipper a good push or the blade stalls half-open. Overall I still love the design and blade shape. It's a good EDC but with a few refinements, it could be a great one.

No Tools Necessary!
This is great knife if you’re in dirty and dusty environments. You can strip this down to do maintenance without any tools. The system works well. The fit and finish are excellent. The deploy and lock up are very smooth and solid. This is a great design by Ken Onion. The only thing that keeps this from being 5 stars is the steel choice. The size and ergonomics are very good. I just wish it was a better steel.

A usable size, as well as light weight, and thus useful as an EDC. But not without limitations: a bit flimsy in feeling, so heavy-work would be out; the flipper only "kinda" works and requires a wrist-flick to open; and liner locks are inherently problematic over time as they wear down. (The only folder that I have ever had close on my hand was a liner-lock from a very reputable maker.)At under $28 I am happy with the knife, but cannot imagine how anyone would pay list price.
