Smooth opening knife with good lockup and a lovely leaf-shaped blade in BD1 steel. Deep tip-up carry is a major plus, too. Definitely a great knife, and amazing they can offer it so cheaply.

This is a very well-balanced knife with a beautiful blade, flawless bevels, and very sharp.  I can open it one-handed very quickly.  I wish I could own two: one for my everyday carry (this one,) and one to collect.  In fact, I'm a big believer in carrying two knives so maybe I should go for three? Nah, I can't be that greedy, when I hope that so many other knife lovers will buy this knife too!

I have eyed this knife for a while...This model of bushman (95FBC) uses CTS BD1 steel...a much better steel than the current 4116 Krupp, and I believe was only made for one model year with this steel, so I snatched it up.  Couldn't be happier!  The 4116 is an OK steel that you get a wicked edge on fairly easily, but the BD1 lasts longer.

WARNING:  This knife locking mechanism is unlike your typical folder and comes with instructions and a warning label.  Pay attention.  The action is very stiff to open (may smooth out somewhat with use) and can be opened faster with 2 hands than 1.  To unlock, you must pull the cord (which is under considerable spring tension) which pulls the Ram-Safe lock bar out of position, allowing the knife to be closed with the other hand.  Do it like the instructions say and you won't have an issue.  This is a BIG knife.  If you need something this size and a bargain price, it is a screaming deal.  Blade is perfectly centered, and is very sharp out of the box.  Realistically it is a little big and heavy for pocket carry and is more at home stowed in a pack, toolbox, or glovebox.  It's a very interesting design and inexpensive enough to add to your collection.

I've had the Spyderco Sage for about a month, and I'm very impressed with it overall. Fit and finish are superb, and the finished edges are very crisp... Some may find them to be a bit too sharp for their tastes, but I prefer a more tactile feel over a knife that has more "melted" edges. The opening action is good. Not too tight, and not too loose and very smooth... And a rock-solid lock up. The blade shape is about perfect for everyday cutting tasks, and is beautifully ground S30V steel... And very, very sharp. I love the carbon fiber composite scales... Very good looking, and have enough texture to provide a good grip. The wire clip is excellent and seems to be tough enough. Overall, the shape, proportions and size of this knife are a perfect match for my needs... It's about the same form-factor as the Spyderco Native, which I used to carry until I dropped it tip-down onto concrete and broke the tip of the blade. I won't comment on edge retention or durability of the Sage until I've owned it a bit longer, but I suspect I'll be happy with it for a long time. Highly recommended!

I love this knife - I use it at work. Feels good in hand, is fairly small, so it fits nicely in my pocket without being bulky or obtrusive in any way. The liner lock is easy to operate without feeling too loose - when locked, I have no worries that it'll come unlocked on it's own, but it's also not so stiff that it's hard to release. I haven't had to use the bottle opener yet, but it's a nice feature. Great EDC knife

This knife is ok, it is smooth after breaking in.

I like the looks of this knife. It is well worth what I paid for it. It has an easy open blade, but is made so that the blade stays open when cutting by a strong backspring with stop at the 90 degree open position so that it doesn't snap closed from that position.

This knife has become my daily pocket knife. In case the metric measurements confuse you, the blade itself is 2 3/4". Closed the knife is 3 3/8". Open it's a total of 6 1/8". The knife over all has a hefty feel to it, without being too heavy in my pocket. It is well balanced. It has a great look to it and feels comfortable in my hand. It reminds me very much of a small folding fighting knife. The blade locks positively but is not a lock back. It takes and keeps a good edge without too much effort and requires both hands to open and close it safely. I collect knives, and originally thought this would be a good one to add to my collection, but after receiving and using this knife I'm going to continue to use it daily for a while. I'm sure it has found a place in my permanent rotation. This is my first Cudeman brand knife, and I'm impressed with its quality and function. It arrived safely packaged and on time.

Think of the older large folding Buck knives. Add extra quality & design. This is a beautiful, large folding knife. When opened, it's similar to a good sized fixed blade knife. It has the standard liner lock, with an added safety switch where your thumb rests. When the knife is opened, your thumb naturally slides the little switch forward. This moves a small metal piece under the liner lock, thereby preventing the liner lock from disengaging the blade. Basically, it's a double lock to keep the blade from accidentally folding on your hands. It's unobtrusive, and gives me a little piece of mind.
The blade came very sharp, I was able to shave hairs from my arm with the factory edge.
And while this is definitely a large folder, it is surprisingly lightweight, and I find it fits in my front jeans pocket, or back pocket rather comfortably. The real hard wood grip looks great, and provides an excellent grip. I have large hands, and when holding this knife opened,  the handle still protrudes out a bit. Very comfortable to carry, hold, and a very functional and nice looking blade.

This knife is not just beautiful, but functional, I like the safety lock and being able to open it one handed.

This is very well made with great craftsmanship. It's a nice, solid knife. It has a substantial feel to it - heavier than you'd expect but not so much to be a problem. Out of the box everything moves nicely. I can easily open it one handed and with a little practice you can close it with one hand, too, if you don't mind crossing a finger under the blade. On mine the blade would not lock the first few times I opened it slowly. After about 20 times opening and closing it now locks 100% reliably, even if I open it very slowly. This will definitely be part of my daily carry.

After purchasing a BlizeTec Titanium Folding Knife with a liner lock that would not lock properly, I decided to go back to an old favorite of mine: Spyderco Endura. This is the Endura 4, with two and a half decades worth of experience rolled into the perfect knife package. This Endura 4 has a blade made from VG-10 steel, made in Seki City, Japan, with the FRN handles, excellent grip, and an excellent back-locking mechanism with a Boye dent. This knife comes out of the box scary sharp, and VG-10 holds an excellent edge, and sharpens very easily. The metal clip holds this very well balanced knife where you want it. This particular Endura 4 has the black titanium carbonitride-coated blade, time will tell how it stands up, but it looks "tacticool". You will not regret this purchase.

This knife is razor sharp, holds an edge, and is easy to open and close. It's a great choice for everyday carry.

My fianc got me this knife as a birthday gift, and I've been using it as my everyday knife for about a week now. I'm very happy with the knife, and would absolutely recommend it to a friend.

This is my first blade in s30v, and so far I'm impressed. My knives get hard use, but so far the blade has done an impressive job of keeping its factory edge (if I remember, I'll update after I first resharpen about how well it takes an edge). As a point of reference, my last edc was made with aus8 from CRKT, and I had to sharpen at least once every couple weeks. The blade has a slightly thicker spine than I'd expected, and as such, feels quite sturdy. The blade shape is quite nice as well.  The drop point, and slight belly makes for a long, and natural feeling cutting edge.

The knife is comfortable to hold, though I've occasionally wished for some thumb rise, or that the back of the blade had some texture (behind the thumb studs) to help provide a little more control. Speaking of the thumb studs - they make opening the blade a breeze, but tend to catch on the edge of my pocket thanks to a pretty sharp angle at the end of the textured surface where your thumb makes contact.

The speedsafe opening is far less aggressive than what I've experienced with Kershaw's smaller knives - I suspect as a consequence of this blade's greater inertia. As such, my initial concerns about this knife's lack of a safety proved unfounded - the blade hasn't opened accidentally even once, and I've already dropped the thing 3 or 4 times. That said, the speedsafe opening makes this the most comfortably opening knife I own.  It's almost as though speedsafe was designed for this knife, and is just overkill for knives like the chive.

A note on Kershaw: I've been impressed by every tool I've seen from this company, and they have a reputation for good customer service.  I've never taken advantage of the service, but they'll resharpen their blades free of charge - you merely need to pay shipping to get the knife to them.  If this blade can hold an edge for more than a couple months, I may just give it a try!

The Kershaw Cryo (designed by Rick Hinderer) is my first frame lock knife. It is not my first assisted opening knife: I once had a Gerber Fast Draw that had it. My only other significant folder is a Zero Tolerance 0200 (made by Kershaw, designed by Ken Onion) which is a liner lock without assisted opening. These knives are both excellent and have sold me on Kershaw Rick Hinder designs and the Zero Tolerance line of knives. I will be getting the other collaborations of Hinderer with Kershaw as well as other Zero Tolerance knives.

This Cryo has a black, stainless steel frame and a black 2.75 blade, both of DLC coated 8Cr13MoV. I like the weight of the knife. I don't notice it when its clipped in a pocket. But then I don't notice the weight of the ZT200 either, or of the Victorinox RS multi-tool that Ive carried on my belt every day since the day I got it several years ago.

With the blade closed, the knife is literally the length of the width of my palm. It conceals nicely in my closed hand. With the blade out, the knife fits well in the grip. The finger choil feels good and stops finger movement adequately unless doing hard forward pushing or under slick conditions (since the sides are smooth metal). The moderate gimping provides the thumb with resistance from movement. The frame is not too small. The knife feels relatively secure in the grip. This knife could be used for self-defense, although it is certainly not the optimum knife for it, mainly because of its shortness and the smooth frame.

The assisted opening is a great feature. It is rapid and effortless. The flipper is the easiest way to get the blade started. The spring when relaxed holds the blade at 90 degrees from the frame. When flexing from under pressure, inertia moves the blade to the locked 180 degree position. The knife comes set up for tip down right handed carry, but you can change it to any of the other three orientations.

The knife comes sharp. A very light tap of the cutting edge on my thumb when closing without proper attention put a clean shallow cut in the tip. It will cut a paper sliver from a cash register receipt as easily as the ZT200.

This knife is an excellent design for safe gripping, balance, and utility.

I have a couple of these, one in my office desk drawer for opening boxes, and sometimes (after a quick clean) for cutting an apple or piece of cheese. The locking mechanism is a very different scheme, and none of my colleagues had seen such a knife before. I found it to be sharp out of the box, the mechanism reasonably smooth, and nothing to complain about. This is a fantastic deal.
