Swan Pocket Knife for Men, 3.6" D2 Steel Hunting Knife, G10 Handle | 4.2oz, Liner Lock, Brass Bearing Pivot, Flipper, Large Folding Knife with Clip,Sharp Camping Survival Knives for Mens Gift

Bought this for $35 in June, 2023. This knife turned out to be the first addition to what has become a collection of “inexpensive” knives. After adding several more to my collection and reviewing them here on Amazon, I realized I had never reviewed this NedFoss knife. I have always carried a little “Old Timer” type pocket knife for cutting/opening things. But, I decided I wanted something larger while walking my dog at night. (You never know.) Anyway, I started watching various people's reviews of Every Day Carry (EDC) knives on YouTube to learn the jargon, understand the different designs and how knives work, how to repair them, and understand what to look for in a good knife. This particular knife struck my fancy, so I bought it. It was so much larger than my little “Old Timer”. I couldn't believe how nice it was. It has an attractive design, and the fit and finish is really good. The blade opens and closes very smoothly. The blade locks up strongly when opened with no wiggle at all. The blade detent is good, and it is properly centered in the handle when closed. It is reasonably sharp. This is a heavy bladed knife, so you have to be firm in your “flipper” action to open it. Maybe include a little wrist action as well. (This knife is NOT spring assisted as some people have indicated.) I can't believe how nice this knife is for the money. Someday I may buy a more expensive knife just to see how it compares to this “inexpensive” one. It may cost three to ten times more, but I can't see how it will be that much better in quality. To me, this knife is a little big and heavy for every day carry, but it looks and feels great. I don't see this as a real work knife... more of a gentleman's knife. I have found several $10-$20 knives that are better suited to be treated as a work knife. This one is too nice for harsh treatment. It is just as good as any of the newer purchases in my collection, and better than some of the more popular name brands. I know “quality control” may miss some issues with a knife, but I have been fortunate thus far. In building my collection, I have only had to return one knife to Amazon due to a quality issue, but its replacement was good. This NedFoss had no issues, and it was a keeper.

Very nice knife, I’d say it feels a little blade end heavy compared to my old buck, but I could buy 4 of these for the price of that one. Stays sharp within reasonable use, looks great. I looked over all the Ned knives before choosing this one. A lighter blade than some, but still a ridged drop point, slightly thicker handle than the swan with the contours for grip. Also, the open tab functions well as a finger guard once open and gives a bit more control with fine work.

Great every day carry knife! I’ve carried this knife because it has never failed me. It’s unbelievable how it holds its edge. I used it last year when I first got it to debark a 1-inch hickory sapling tree to make a cane that I also carry every day. And I swear that I’ve never sharpened it because it was as sharp as the day I got it new. And it’s a great flipper too, plus it has a spring clip to carry it in your front pocket. The price was really low at about $35 U.S. from Amazon. If you’re looking for a great EDC knife, you’ll be amazed as I was.

I would have given this a 5 star rating if the fold-up was firmer. Other than that, I'm pleased with the quality. Good steel, sharper than most out of the box (although I immediately took a whetstone to it). Overall it has a good weight, look and feel to it. It is almost as good as my Kershaw of the same class and comes very close to being as comfortable in my hand. They discontinued my Kershaw model so I got this as a backup. Glad I did cuz I've tried others and they don't even come close. It feels like a knife and not a cheap toy. Price point was definitely competitive also. If you want a functional, good quality knife and don't want to break the bank, I would recommend it.

Love this brand high quality extremely sharp

Great fishing and camping pocket knife. The overall weight is perfect for an adult and it has a nice hefty blade. I purchased this knife for the flip out blade and pocket clip features. This should be very helpful while fishing and needing to cut line while handling the fishing pole. The grip is the perfect size for may hand.

This is a nice basic knife. Sturdy with and easy to open. Good weight, nice blade configuration and very sharp.

Amazing knife! It is razor sharp, extremely well built and opens easily with one hand. It is comfortable in my hand and the blade is made of D2 tool steel that holds an edge better than any other steel. It couldn't be any better. I would not hesitate to but knives made by Nedfoss. Real quality! You won't be disappointed.
