FLISSA Pocket Folding Knife, 3.2” D2 Blade Wood Handle EDC Knife with Button Lock and Pocket Clip for Hunting, Camping, Survival, Outdoor Activities

What a shock I got when I received this knife! It's carbon fiber handle is smooth, comfortable and fits the hand extremely well, the flipper design works very quick and smooth, the button lock is a very nice touch, easy to use and closes very well one-handed, it's extremely sharp right out of the box and the blade of the knife is tight with the handle, no wiggling blade movement. This knife is lightweight and doesn't cause hot-spots when using it. My advice: don't let it fool you, this is an excellent EDC knife that will surprise you!

For starters, I have significantly more expensive knives than this in my collection. It came well oiled and opened smoothly right from the beginning. The flipper is very well done in that it easily overcomes the slight detent-rest of the blade and is set at a good angle to do so. They might add jimping to the flipper, but it doesn't really need it. The style of jimping on the back of the blade does an excellent job of gripping the thumb. I'm not sure I like the logo cut-in on the carbon fiber inlay, though some may appreciate the sharp(literally) contrast of the CF adding grip to it. The G10 scale line between the inlay and the edge of the handle is wide enough for my grip. The handle is a nice fit for the size of my hand and the belt clip fits comfortably where it sits on my palm in between my fingers instead of the middle of one like so many others. The clip also holds nicely to my pocket (good grip on the demin) and is not uncomfortable to use as an pull point without a lanyard. I am less fond that it is tip down carry as this requires significantly more manipulation to remove from the pocket and achieve a deployed blade. A lanyard on the other end would fix this but would require removal of the belt clip in order to keep it from getting caught during deployment. The one thing that I really have against this knife is the button lock. The concave button head refuses to engage with the flat of my thumb and require significantly more pressure from a nail via side press. To be entirely honest here, with my occasional tardive dyskinesia slips, this makes the knife a whole lot more dangerous to close than one that closes with just a flat press. A convex button would have made this knife much safer (none of the Kizer blades I own and use EDC with a convex button lock have ever slipped on me - a Lieb M being my current. I can understand that some may want one that requires extra pressure to ensure it doesn't slip during use, and therefore, why Flissa may be producing them this way. It is a slightly heavier companion than my Lieb M, but I don't have a problem with that in an EDC.If you are looking for a solid, inexpensive EDC you can abuse, this D2 flipper will fit the bill. The carbon fiber version definitely adds some bling if you want that as well.

If you are right handed and like the blade size and shape this is a really good value for a quality work knife you won't mind using hard and getting dinged up at work. I ordered two of these knives not really expecting much but I had got the Flissa D2 bushcraft knife as a gift a while back and was really impressed. one of these came shaving sharp the other was dull and not well profiled but I was able to re profile and sharpen to shaving sharp using nothing more than 400/600 plated diamond stone and leather strop with white jeweler's rouge. I don't have a tester but based on how it sharpened I would say it's a good bit harder than AUS8 on my Ontario RAT 1. Which is what you would expect from a D2 knife. Bearing and detent excellent. This isn't the best knife you can buy but it isn't junk. A very practical work knife of reasonable quality at a price I don't think you can beat. Very satisfied with these. I would have given 4.5 stars because of edge qc issue with the one but I have seen that occur on much more expensive knives so I rounded up because I think this knife is a really exceptional budget value.

This is my second purchase of this knife. Unfortunately, I lost the first one. But I loved it so much that I had to replace it.The D2 blade is sharp right out of the box, and is relatively easy to maintain. I really was impressed with the look of the carbon fiber-layered scales.I also personalized it by laying some red enamel in the "Flissa" logo that is etched on one scale.

I really wanted to like this knife, good looking, sharp blade, nice feeling handle. Another Flissa homerun, I thought.The wood sides look great, but inhibit the action of the button lock.The Pear wood sides are beautiful and feel nice in the hand. But it seems that the wood swelled in the small hole around the button lock, causing it to not work well. It took a firm press of the button to release the blade, but then instead of an instant lock, there would be a small delay, and the blade would not lock immediately. That small delay can cause the blade to swing back and bite you. If the button had been made with a small metal surround around the hole for the button, this would not be an issue (reading this Flissa.) But for me it is a safety issue, and a non starter, it had to go back. It is a shame because I have grown to like this brand its line of precision, inexpensive folding knives. This one though needs some work. I have not tried the G10 sides, which should alleviate the problem, you might want to do that.

Nice knives. I bought em as gifts.

The media could not be loaded. When I received the knife the blade was not tite, it wiggled back n forth, very sloppy, when I pushed the button it wouldn't drop down from lock position, after adjusting properly I got it to drop from open to close position and bounce into close position! A little oil and it works perfect! The lock button is not a good button for this knife! Way to much effort is needed to properly function this knife, but with that said I had to dial it in! But I love the knives looks and functions!!

Love this knife. Sharp as hell holds a good edge. High quality build. I like good cheap knives because I lose them. Hope to hold on to this one for a while. Flips out easily. Had for several months and just had to touch up sharpen.
