Tactical Folding Knife, 4.4in Stainless Steel Mirror Blade, Rosewood Handle with Leather Sheath, EDC Knife with Safety Liner-Lock, Hand-blocking Design

The one-star reviewer complaining about "Communist symbolism" on this knife is pretty funny if not particularly just. You bought a Chinese made novelty knife, friend, and the novelty here is the fact that the design is based on the infamous NKVD/KGB covert ops “Finka” blade. However, purchasing this knife is no more “supporting Communism” than shopping at Walmart is. Heck, 95% of stuff here on Amazon is also Chinese manufactured. Anyway, the whole thing is like me ordering a MAGA t-shirt and then leaving a one-star review because I received a MAGA t-shirt. Onto the review: It's a Chinese budget knife with a design based on the Finka, compete with the characteristic folding bolster guard. It is, however, a liner locking design. The fit and finish are good, and the sharp, decently polished 440C stainless steel blade locks up nice and tight. The blade was poorly centered between the scales when I got it, but adjusting the pivot a bit made it a lot better. The knife is obviously meant to be opened like an old lockback design – using the finger groves to pull the blade out using your fingers, requiring both hands. However, I discovered that after I oiled the pivots (main pivot and guard ones) using KPL, I could fairly easily flick or reverse flick the blade open by catching the folded guard with my thumbs or middle finger at just the right spot. You can also catch a finger grove, get the blade past the detent, and then open it using a wrist flick inertia. So quick, one-handed deployment is doable, if you’re into that. The liner lock seems robust and has a solid, large engagement surface. The hardware is standard Torx screws. The pivoting folding bolster guard was a bit loose, but I got it nice and tight by adjusting the two pivot screws. I do wish that the knife had a paracord sized lanyard hole like on my other Finkas. The lacquered wood scales are quite attractive but not particularly great from a practical standpoint. The handle is rather slick, so it’s good that the knife features that bolster guard to protect your fingers. Generally, the knife is usable for various practical indoor and outdoor application but there are much better choices available in the same price range. This is foremost a novelty knife. It is a good one though, especially for the price. As a knife collector, I am happy to have this Finka in my collection!

This knife is well made, and extremely elegant but needs a little work. It takes some practice to flip the blade out consistently, using finesse rather than brute force and the star screws loosen quickly from flipping the blade open. I am going to open the two top screws and drop a dab of super glue which should solve the problem. When I first recieve it, one of the small black plastic pieces fell out, so I superglued it back in position, because I realized the even with its few flaws, I immediately loved this knife and have no intention of returning it. I really like the design, length and sharpness of the blade as well as the shape and finish of the handle

The style is a bit different, but this knife is very good. I am glad that I picked it up. I don’t even have a problem with the carrying case, (I won’t use the case, but it is not bad at all). My knife arrived razor sharp, and well made. I can’t find a single thing that I don’t like about it, all be it the design will take a little getting used to. There is really nothing to not like about this knife. Money well spent, for what it is.

I collect knives for the unique style of handles and this one is very well made.

Very nice knife for the money. Well-made and is very nice looking. The bearing instead of just a pin make it exceptionally easy to open. Will work as a gravity knife with a little practice.

You can't beat the price. Good luck and knife.It seems like it's decent made.
