KUBEY Tityus KU322E Folding Pocket Knife with 3.39" Drop Point Blade G10 Handle for Outdoor Camping Everyday Carry

I have a collection of about 60 folding knives, with some cheap ones and some "premium" brands, and this knife has the base action out of my entire collection. The thing just flies open and is incredibly snappy. Lockup is right with no bladeplay, centering when closed is perfect, and fit and finish is top notch. Couldn't be happier with this purchase, it's really just a nice knife all around.

It should be pointed out that unlike many items on Amazon, the reviews of these are separated even by color and for this model it doesn't accurately reflect the knife itself. People can see the photo so that shouldn't be a determining factor just a matter of taste. On that note I will say there's an interesting illusion regarding the jade handle of feeling like it's a piece of glass because of the weight of the metal.As far as the action, blade etc. I will say for what I paid for it (direct from Kubey 50% off) I think it's definitely worth it. Also it has great ergnomics, deployment is pretty easy all three ways with the thumb, middle finger for reverse flick and the flipper. Check the review on the other model where the guy mentions similarity with the Koenig Arius. All in all a good one with good grip and jimping.

I ordered this knife with the hope of another decent line of affordable pocket knives with good quality steel and build. It's cheaply made. Ball bearing is cheap and gritty, g-10 scales feel more like basic plastic. The liner lock feels unreliable and flimsy.I travel a lot for work and have had a pocket knife on me since I was a kid. I don't travel with the expensive knives like Benchmade, Spyderco or similar. I buy the good quality more affordable ones for that. For the money there are much better. Civivi, CRJB, Kizer (Vanguard line), some Spyderco (eg: tenacious) models, Kershaw, SOG, etc.For this model the Civivi Praxis is much better quality. Additionally the "D2" steel on this is either not D2 or it's a poor quality D2. Not impressed at all.
