Outdoor Mini Camping Stainless Handle Survival Knife Multifunction Outdoor Tactical Rescue Tools Folding Hunting (new claw knife black)

It’s all metal. There are three screws that I thought would be an issue around the ring hole but they are not contacted in use. There are no hot spots and it feels good in the palm while folded. The edge is a chisel so it’s only sharpened on one side which actually works well in a retained position. Out of the box it was sharp enough to use but I gave it a full polish. I thought it might be hard to sharpen due to the concave blade but it’s easy. I photographed it with my diamond sharpening files and my jig just to show I do know how to do edges. I bought a Provoke 4041b also and put in the photo for size comparison. The finger holes are about the same size unlike the compact Provoke. For the people that say it’s tight, a few drops of RemOil and a few minutes of working with it made it very good, of course not as nice as the more expensive model but actually quieter. I didn’t have to loosen anything. The lock release is far superior to the $100-$200 morphing karambits. Really a win if you actually use it. It does not have or need a retention clip, I just put it in my coin pocket with only the ring exposed. It will not freak anyone out and it’s ready to go with nothing to snag and no brandishing since it’s in a palm. Riding high, it does not slip out but at this price I would not lose any sleep over losing it.

You have to loosen the screws and lube it a little and then it works great.

I’m the weird knife guy I love then got me another yeah

It is an interesting design and does look pretty. But it isn't a very good knife. The blade is only beveled on a single side and it is hard to open and close. It's more of a mantle piece due to its unusual design than a practical tool.

This is a 100% copy / clone of the CRKT model. The CRKT is a little over $100 and it's a very odd action which you will love or hate. I decided I would get this clone to see if it was worth paying for "the real thing". Other reviews said the action was tight. Some people oiled it. Others worked the action while others losened the screws. I decided to work the action (opening & closing it a lot) I added a few drops of oil & worked it. This knife IS RAZOR SHARP! So be very careful opening and closing this unusual action so you don't cut yourself. I was only working on it for less than an hour and the screws basically came apart and I was glad not to cut myself. I think it's a great design and I'll probably drop the money on the real thing. But this thing even with my low expectations it was too dangerous to even keep. The screws fell apart. Save your $10...

Great quality! The price was better than fair. The blade was sharper than 98% of factory edge knives I've purchased over the years, the construction of the unique design is definitely EDC quality, and will definitely be sure to catch a few eyes, even from others who aren't typically "blade fanatics" but can still appreciate something as cool as this thing, and the fact that it's build and design are actually practical in alot of day to day mundane tasks, like opening a package, or breaking down cardboard boxes so they fit into the receptacle more efficiently! Can't go wrong with this thing, whether you're buying it for yourself or buying it for a friend, either way, you won't regret it!

Very inconspicuous to carry around

For something that costs $12 + tax, I didn't have high expectations. Sometimes, I hate it when I'm right. This knife is mostly junk, but does provide a way to experience how the original, patented CRKT Provoke would perform and feel.Wow, where to begin with all the flaws in this knife. First off, let's just say that the manufacturing of this knife is crude at best. There are tooling marks and poor finishing throughout. Unlike the CRKT version, this knife is made up of multiple layers sandwiched together and barely held in place with poorly machined T-10 Torx screws. No two screws seem to be alike and my Torx driver didn't fit properly. The knife wasn't even assembled correctly. A small delrin washer that was supposed to go between the two moving parts was inserted in between two non-moving layers. I had to disassemble the knife and put the washer in the proper location; not that it helped the knife move any smoother.Looking at the design, the recessed part where the screws sit aren't flat with a washer in between as it should be. Instead, the recess is beveled, while the screw is not, and there is nothing to prevent the screw from catching on the rough metal in the recess and unscrewing. Out of the box, it's so stiff, you can barely open it. It gets easier the more you use it, but that's because the screws are loosening each time you move it. Don't be surprised if the knife suddenly falls apart in your hand because the screws have completely backed out.Speaking of opening the knife, there are two ways you can do that. You can either put the finger loop around your index finger and push the pivot arm down with your thumb, or you can flip the knife over, put the finger loop around your pinky finger and push up with your thumb. The former method puts the blade point down, the latter puts the blade point up like a standard knife.It's heavy, much heavier than I would expect, but I shouldn't be surprised since it's a thick hunk of metal. The blade is actually sharp, and because of the opening mechanism, there's little chance of injuring yourself, unless you're like the fools posting video of them twirling the knife. I'm not sure it will be easy to sharpen, but the 20-25º angle of the edge will probably stay sharp for a while. The liner lock is extremely stiff and hard to disengage to close the knife. It continually presses on the locking arm and is probably why that screw will be the first to come apart. To prevent the screws from coming undone, I disassembled each screw joint and put a drop of Loktite on each. However, once I've tighened the screws enough that there is very little slop in the joint, it becomes very difficult to open and close. So either it's tight and barely moves, or it's loose, opens easily, but all the pieces wobble from the excess play. Oh, and the specifications say there's a pocket clip; there isn't one.It was cheap, and it is unique, so I'll keep it just as a conversation piece, but I can't really recommend it. If you still choose to buy this, get the black version. the shiny silver version always look smudged with fingerprints.
