This is the knife my wife bought me over 5 years ago now. I’ve carried it everyday since. It’s a great beater knife. Opens boxes, cuts tape, the serrations are very sharp. Some caveats of the knife after using it for 5 years: the pommel where you push to flick the knife open has become rather sharp and uncomfortable over the years from wear and tear. Also the blade has some small knicks in the blade on the straight part and the tonto edge. Other than that if you oil the hinge and keep her sharp this is a perfect little knife for you. It’s not super comfy or perfect by any means but this knife has really become sentimental to me.

This is my edc. The choiling on the flippers are kinda sharp but a lil file work never hurts. Has a great weight, just enought to make the pommel tip a meaningful impact strike. Wish it had auto lawks and 4 way pocket clip options. Blade steal is thicker than the original. Blade play is also improved from the single flipper model. Liner lock needs a firm blade deployment to have a secure lock. All in all a solid buy.

excellent folder, this is the right size imo for a pocket folder if you wear jeans, it's not too big or heavy nor too small as my SW baby swat 2.1" is. I have only one minor complaint - mine's action slows down toward the end of opening, it doesn't flick as easy as some of my other folders, i have to snap the wrist pretty hard to get that solid click and feel to know it's truly locked and isn't going to fold back on my fingers. i'll lube it. i really like this knife and the doubleside finger protectors are a great thing and rare among folders.

Surprisingly a good knife, especially for its price. It was not what I was expected because it does not have a regular two sided bevel. This only has a one sided bevel, and not exactly fitted for right handed people. The bevel is on the side for left handed people I believe. (This is not necessarily a good or bad thing, just making observations.) At the time of this product's purchase, I was not informed that this had only one bevel. There was no information on this knife's page that it only had one bevel. I do not believe that they were trying to mislead, but perhaps someone just left the detail out. Overall though, this is a pretty decent knife for it's price range. It is very lightweight as well. Blade material is not supposedly a "good" material but I think that if someone is using this as a work knife, it will not really matter. The blade part has this "handguard" type thing due to it having a flipper. Nice little detail, not a full 100% handguard, but it is something.

its a daily carry knife, great construction solid knife, good features. it was a bit smaller then i thought it would be over all. But other then that a good backup knife or if someone is looking for a smaller pocket type knife not bad at all.

Not what I expected.
As soon as I received the box it came in, the orange box from ThatOrangeBox.com, was smashed. Luckily they used a lot of packing popcorn. Wasn't too happy about that. I get it open and get it out of the CRKT box and only think one thing.....why is it so small???? I saw the measurements and compared it to the one I have and looked like it would be a hair smaller...it's not...there's literally no handle compared to my current one. This knife is a baby training knife. I was expecting something more to be able to hold on to. Not this. Will not be doing business with this site ever again and most definitely will not be suggesting it to anyone.
