Pocket Knife for Men - 4 inch Slim Folding Knife with Back Lock - Cool Design Resin Handle - Best Knives for EDC Outdoor - Best Gifts for Women 806

I was pleasantly surprised at just how well designed and built this pocket knife is. The locking mechanism is quite strong, the blade sharp, and it's satisfyingly light and compact to carry. Excellent value.

I like the size, look, fit, and finish of this stylish Grand Way brand folding pocket knife. It's an old school slip joint (no spring assist) that's well made with good snap and no blade wobble. The handle scales are acrylic and look like horn. The blade is 440 stainless steel that's sharp and locks in the open position. Unlocking is easy but requires two hands. The bolsters are stainless steel with nicely done scrollwork. There is a lanyard hole but I kinda wish it had a clip for pocket carry. I also wish it didn't have those little notches (gimping?) cut in spine if the blade. In summary, I recommend this knife.

Great product, I would buy it again

I like that it showed up sharpened very well. Perfect pocket size. In my line of work I use knives all the time and this one is my go too.

Slim and elegant design, exactly want i was looking for.

It shrunkI went on amazon to reorder this knife and they linked it to this new knife that looks the same in the picture, but is way smallerThe original knife was 9 inches long and this one is 7.25 inches longIt is a much better size for pocket carry

First, I'll admit that this is a handsome-looking knife. More like a prop from West Side Story than a pocket tool, it looks attractive and feels sturdy. The plastic handle doesn't look cheap (it's not solid black but has some slight swirls of color baked in). The blade opens easily (it does not lock in the closed position). As a weapon, it looks fearsome: It's long and slender and the extremely sharp tip looks and feels like it could penetrate steel.As an everyday carry (EDC) tool, however, it leaves much to be desired. It's a little too long (for my taste) to carry in one's pocket. Closing the knife, while not especially difficult, is somewhat awkward...not a task that can be done with one hand. In response to those reviewers who couldn't close the knife, you should note that the blade locks in the open position and you have to press a release on the back of the handle to close the knife. You have to press fairly hard on the release until you hear/feel a slight click.My biggest problem with this knife is the blade itself. While the tip is needle-sharp, the blade cuts about as well as the deck of an aircraft carrier. I have a never-been-sharpened, well-used, 65-year-old Boy Scout knife that cuts better than this one. If you just want to open letters or cut the tape on packages, this will suffice but, as a working tool, it's close to useless. To the touch, it feels like it should be sharp...but it's not. It will probably cut an apple or your finger if you try really hard (I didn't). I did try trimming a twig (less than 1/8 of an inch) off a tree. After 5 minutes of sawing, it finally came off...but it seems more likely it broke off from the pressure rather than being cut clean. Similarly, I tried to cut through a 1/2 manila rope with no success. If I were tied up in a burning building and this were the only way to free myself, I'd be toast...literally.If you're looking for a formidable weapon to intimidate rival gang members, this knife might be for you; if you're looking for a useful everyday tool to carry around, look elsewhere. Mine's going back.

Very sharp, easily locks in the full length and very easy to disengage!
