GVDV Folding Pocket Knife with G10 Handle, 7CR17 Stainless Steel EDC Knife with Safety Liner Lock, Hunting Camping Hiking Fishing Knife for Men Women, Silver

Okay, this is a cheap knife, and it looks like a cheap knife, which is part of it's appeal: It has a certain understated menace that's a great counterpoint to its outstanding practicality and surprisingly good fit and finish. One look at this thing, and you can tell it ain't a Spyderco or something you ordered from an LL Bean Catalog. It looks like the kind of knife you'd get mugged with in the 1970s, but it's a far more versatile and well-made tool than the Mexican gravity knives I bought on 42nd Street as a teenager, and it somehow manages to be elegant and kind of vulgar and disturbing at the same time. I would say it probably has the best price-to-value ratio of any cheap knife I've bought on Amazon. Put it this way: The action is definitely better than the low-end Kershaws I've bought. It opens more easily, and the metal tolerances are tighter, which is astonishing, though it's not in the same league as Kershaw's higher-end offerings, like the Launch 4, which costs a lot more and is a lot smaller. I The spring is strong, and it doesn't take much pressure on the spur on the blade to open it. It's been my EDC carry for months now, and the blade still isn't wobbling at all. I use it mostly for opening packages or other mundane household chores, which is its primary purpose, but I always open-carry a knife for last-ditch self defense whenever I'm in a dodgy neighborhood (if it's legal per city, state, and federal law, which it is most places I go except some of my workplaces, and of course it stays home when I'm there.) Another plus: The backside of the blade is sharp enough to finish cutting packing tape if you start the cut with the front, and that's a good idea, because this seems to be cheap steel-- I'm sure it will need sharpening pretty soon, but not at excessively short intervals. 7CR17 -- if that's what it really is -- is actually a very solid alloy for survival knives. The clip is pretty loose, but not the worst I've seen, and it's never dropped out of my pocket when I've been driving. I'm no knife expert, but I have owned dozens of knives, and this one vastly exceeded my expectations. From the other reviews, it looks like quality control may vary, but I definitely wound up with a good specimen. The included sharpening stone is a nice plus, and it even comes in a little velvet bag.

Sharp looking and good at cutting. Very solid knife for the money. IMO, it’s worth more than advertised. This is a legitimately good knife.

Amazing knife, sturdy and swift, this knife could go through almost everything but a hurricane. Didn’t fly away just rusted. Can go through water but can not stay submerged. Really sharp too.

Well made, tight construction, blade is crazy sharp right out of the box. My only criticism is that the blade is very narrow for the size of the knife body. The body could support a little wider blade. The online pictures don't really show this, but just be aware the blade is not well proportioned to the knife. That might just be my preference though. For the money this is a decent knife.

I ordered one these a few weeks ago. This is the best-designed, non-switchblade or gravity "tactical" knife that I have ever owned/carried, and I have carried such for longer than I have been licensed to carry a concealed weapon/handgun (1975). MUCH easier to open one-handed than those that require you thumb a knob on the side of the blade. The shoulder against which the Liner Lock rests on the base of the blade is easily accessible without requiring any disassembly, so the lock-up can be tuned if you wish for it to be a little more positive. I am contemplating dressing that location the slightest bit, although it does not really NEED the attention. The knife fits very well & comfortably in my hand and I find that the rather long pocket clip aids in the secure, one-handed deployment of the blade, as it allows me to more securely grasp the knife during this action. The knife has decent weight and a solid feel to it and the blade locks-up tight. I have found it easy to safely go thru the open/close evolution using just one hand. I am delighted that I accidentally stumbled across this excellent knife. I just placed an order for a second one. :)

Great knife. Very Sharp.

The price. Where it's made. My expectations were not very high. That said, this is a shockingly nice knife!

I love the blade on this knife. I detest the cheap locking mechanism of it though. I bought this knife to replace the one I broke with the same exact type of locking mechanism. I wish the design was like a buck knifes locking it has a solid metal shank it pushes back on to keep it from folding back upon your hand and cutting you. The knife I broke had that happen to me. I was using it to cut through card board. The back half of the blade slipped past the metal lip and folded back into my first 2 fingers. Luck I only got a pressure cut not a blade cutting me. The whole knife fell apart at that point. If picture is needed to prove my words I still have the pieces. I can use the blade another way is why I held on to it. For the price I say be aware it will cut and work but don't overdo the energy pressing into anything no matter how sharp it is. A full shank knife is meant for heavy cutting.
