Great Carry Knife

Having had this knife for a couple of years now, I must say that I don't have any major complaints about it at all. It's design is very smooth, and it comes relatively sharp out of the box, although you may want to sharpen it further. As an everyday carry, I would ABSOLUTELY recommend this knife. It's durable, stylish, and - most importantly - gets the job done.

Good Basic Knife

Good all purpose folder. Decent blade shape, secure lock and low price make this a good daily folder. Nothing fancy but for the price it's a good working knife. I'm not afraid to use it at work because it functions well and at this price if it gets lost or stolen I can live with it.

Great Knife for the money!!!

My son bought me this knife several years ago. I was really amazed at how durable it was. I carry it with me everywhere and it has come in very handy. I didn't realize how dependent I was on it until I would forget to slip in on my pocket and found myself reaching for it time after time throughout the day. The pocket clip makes it very easy to carry and access when needed. It comes very sharp and stays that way for a long time. I have purchased 3 or 4 of these knifes over the years since my son bought me the first one, not because they don't hold up but because I've got 2 grandsons now and they have borrowed my knife and they also seem to have a real knack for losing them. I'll keep buying this knife as long as they keep making it. It's just a d#mn fine knife.

Bigger and nastier than the Paraframe I

Even though there is just a little over a half inch difference in blade length between this knife and the Paraframe I, it feels different and performs well for larger tasks. It's not quite the convenient pocket size that it's younger brother is but it is still fairly light as far as knives of this blade size tend to run. If you have used a paraframe I and are looking for something a bit bigger to mess around with then definitely give this one a try. I picked one up used that had been seeing action for years and it has no blade play and locks up just fine. It has a classic paraframe blade which means it's easy to sharpen but doesn't hold an edge like a more expensive blade.

Great little knife

I have it all day in my pocket. It is extremely sharp and it's so light you forget it's there. Only fault is that's a bit hard to open. I'm guessing that will improve with use.

Good knife for the price

I use this knife all the time. I am constantly cutting up cardboard boxes at work and using it for my outings in the hills. It is extremely light and the clip holds it much tighter than any other knife I've ever had. I never have to worry about losing it. The only thing I don't like about it is the fact that the edge doesn't stay sharp as long as i'd like it to. I finally got the right angle on it and it holds for a decent amount of time, just not as well as usual from Gerber. Overall for the price, it is definitely worth the twenty or so dollars. What more can you want or expect for a few bucks?

Not One of the "Legendary Blades"

Before I say a few negative things about this knife, let me just say, I like it. I like it a lot. It fills your grip without leaving awkward space. The cons about this knife is that I have had to apply more maintenance to this thing than any other knife I own! The blade is the primary problem, as it often does not remain tight very long! The bolt the blade swivels on requires a special wrench available in the Benchmade Bluebox. The blade also gets rusty easily, so it needs to be looked at and attended to regularly. Bottom line is, for the price, it is a good knife, but if you want a lower maintenance knife, try something else!
