- Holtzman's Gorilla Survival - The Clip Point Folding Pocket Knife (Silver) - D2 Steel Blade - Tactical EDC Knife with G10 Handle & Pocket Clip

This knife surprised me with its overall quality for the price. Let's start with the positive: First off, the presentation is great. Opening the box, you have a well-designed foam surface with cutouts for the knife, knife taco, and a rock that really wants to be a whetstone. The action is also amazing out of the box and only gets better as it breaks in. The blade opens perfectly with the thumb studs and well with the flipper tab. You can still fail the flipper, but it'll open fine if you put any amount of intent into it. There's no play in any direction and the blade drops shut like a guillotine. The heat treat also seems to be good in my limited use. The factory edge was fairly good and could shave out of the box, but I put my own edge on it almost immediately. It sharpened well and came out to a hair-whittling edge, which is pretty solid for D2. It's held up well, but u haven't subjected it to hard use yet. Now on to what I think could be improved: That little rock in the box is only good for weighing down your trash can. It's a super coarse block of what I assume is silicon carbide with a soft binder. I wasn't able to produce an acceptable (shaving) edge with it. It also dished out very fast. I may have got a lemon, but I would advise you toss the provided stone and look at a DMT fine diamond whetstone. They can be had for $40 and will last for years. Also, I would have liked to see a better steel. D2 is a solid budget option, but steels like S35VN, 154CM, M4, 4V, Cru-Wear, etc. are all better options. This is just me being nitpicky, though. D2 is a perfectly fine steel for your average person and the low cost helps this knife offer its great value.

I have big hands and needed a knife that was big enough for a good grip and comfortable. The blade comes nice and sharp. The locking mechanism works well and I even appreciate the perfect weight. This is a serious knife for those who can appreciate a well built and designed knife. I carry mine in a sheath because I use it for work everyday but it comes with a clip if you want to take that route. I have many knives but this truly is my everyday carry. My compliments to the designer.

Great pocket knife, well made and just the right size for a guy with big hands.

Bought for everyday carry, and am beyond impressed. I have several holtzman gorilla knives so I decided to order the pocket knife for edc. Initially the clip broke and I was upset so I made a not so great review. The owner of the store reached out to me and wanted to resolve the issue. All I wanted was the a new clip or the option to buy one. Instead, this maniac sends me a whole new knife kit AND a replacement clip for the original. Along with the new items I noticed the clip has been reinforced and thickened in the original weak points. Fantastic knife, sharp, easy to open and fits great in hand, along with fantastic customer service, I will continue to shop Holtzman Gorilla indefinitely.

This is a great knife. Well constructed. Smooth action. Razor sharp. Prefect size and balance. Super functional blade design. However the belt clip snapped after a week of normal use. I salvaged a clip off another knife I don't like as much and made it serviceable.

I purchased this knife for myself and I love it so much I'm thinking of getting a few more for gifts. This is a gorgeous medium gray clip point folder with red liner accents and a very sharp blade. The flipping action is super smooth and the liner lock keeps my fingers safe. The blade is black coated D2 steel and the G10 scales provide a sure gripe. See my video for more features. Oh, and I had some questions, and Nate was super friendly and their customer service is outstanding! High Five for this excellent folding knife.

I just received this awesome folding pocket knife. I just love it. It feels great in my hand its a good size not to small or to big. Just the right size. The design and weight is good the blade opens smooth. And is razor sharp right out of the box. This knife comes in a gift box. with a case for the knife. And a sharpening stone and a cleaning cloth. This will be a awesome gift for Christmas or Birthday or any gift giving holiday.

To start, I do like this knife. It has a good weight and action. It appears to be a solid knife. The only issue I have is that the blade opens in the opposite direction that the belt hook is oriented. So with the knife in your pocket there is a chance that the blade can open while you are pulling the knife out of your pocket. This has only happened once to me, but it's a bit disconcerting. Also, the knife is a bit larger than is practical.
