Looks nice, fits tight, but needs a kitchen knife.

The cover looks great and fits tight. The only glitch was that the translucent polycarbonate film does not allow Bose's buttons to be pushed easily (It instead pushes my buttons since it is such a pain). So I went into the kitchen and took a knife and cut the film off. Now it looks great AND works well. Definitely worth the price.

The knife is about as small as out expect it to be. I cut the little lanyard off it felt weird at first but it looked less gay so whatever works for you I guess. The case became very loose and I eventually lost the knife because of the looseness. If you get it watch out for the case getting loose. I am not too sure how to fix it because there are no screws to tighten it.

I like the rustic look of the knife. It comes with heat treat scale left on the blade like a Viking era blacksmith who was in a hurry to turn out a few knives might have done. The handle is a nice looking piece of wood, firmly fitted to the blade and it fits the hand tolerably well. Great sheath! The blade is laminated steel, two strips of soft steel for strength laminated onto each side of a core of hard steel for sharpness and edge holding. The knife's downfall is it's edge grind. They attempted to scandi grind the edge. I say "attempted" because they didn't get it done. The grind is visibly way off center, so far off that the hardened core of the blade is entirely on one side of the edge grind, not centered on the edge itself as it's supposed to be. The actual edge of the knife is on the soft steel lamination on the left side of the blade. The grinds on each side of the blade are even at very different angles. The whole effect is to make this a knife-shaped object because it cannot function as a knife in this condition. Unfortunately, one of our pups got hold of the sheath and chewed the leather thong off, or I would return the knife. Maybe I can get the edge reground properly, an operation that looks like would take about 1/8 - 1/4" off the width of the blade in order to center the edge on the hardened core. Or maybe I'll just leave it as-is in my collection as a reminder not to buy Helle knives again. VERY disappointing. One star is too much for this 'knife' so give it to the sheath instead.

For the price, you really can't complain about something like this. The tip of the knife is very, very sharp. It'll probably cut you open if you accidentally let it glide over your skin. The actual blade leaves a lot to be desired -- I didn't find it nearly as sharp as some other blades, even though it was brand new, out of the box.

Somewhat alarmingly, the safety mechanism/lock that prevents the knife from closing on your hands didn't want to activate on mine until I opened and closed it repeatedly several times. Opening it without using the quick open notch on the back of the knife frequently left the blade ever so slightly too high blocking the lock from releasing. This could be dangerous, as the blade will certainly close on your fingers if you hit the back with enough force and the safety lock isn't in place.

Not really a plus or a minus, but the blade clearly has lubrication on it from a factory lubrication process. It's probably going to get more smooth as far as opening goes over time, but it almost looks sloppy shipping with lubrication leaking out the sides.

Like most Gerber products, this is a good looking tool. The outer finish is smooth but not slippery, and has a dull finish typical for stainless steel. The hinge moves easily. The knife is made of stainless steel and appears to be of good construction. A non-removable clip is attached for use on your pocket or as a money clip.

Opening the knife does take two hands and there is no convenient place to really grip the blade holder when opening, so you do have to pinch the blade holder tightly when opening. Just be a little careful when doing that.

I do like that this tool uses standard utility knife razor blades as I have loads of them around the workshop, including carpet hooks and serrated blades. The included utility blade is indeed razor sharp. Blade replacement requires a screwdriver or small coin to remove the holding screw. When open, about 3/4 of the blade is exposed, giving a cutting edge of 1-1/2 inches. The hinge looks like it is removable with a spanner-type driver, but I'm not going there unless the hinge somehow gets hung up.

The tool fits nicely in my hand, and the blade finger guard is nicely placed. The blade liner lock works fine. Small enough to be a nice EDC. Other specs as noted in the Amazon description seem to be right.

A pretty good deal for the price (which has increase $3 since I purchased it).

Nits: (1) The blade holder should have a small thumb indent on at least one side to make it easier to open. The metal there seems to be more than thick enough to accommodate that. (2) blade replacement requires removal of a screw on the blade holder. The screw is not captured and needs to be completely removed in order to replace the blade. Small and easy to lose. (3) the liner lock on my tool gives a little double click before locking in place. Initially I thought the knife was locked upon hearing the first click but it wasn't. So make sure it's really locked in placed before using.

Photo is somewhat deceiving. Knife is VERY small.

Nice fixed blade knife. The buckle at the handle is way too tight to be useful. Hope it will loosen up as I use more. Fire starter and sharpening stone are great features. Sturdy knife. Rugged case. Nothing wrong here!

This is a nice product but the knife is VERY small. I'm not sure I would really recommend purchase because of this reason.

I really like this knife.  Being my first one, I decided to get something cheap to see how it is and so far it has held up well.  The only problem is that there is no lock to keep it down.  It is not probable that it will open up on its own but just something to keep in mind.

This is an excellent kitchen knife; it does indeed cut thin slices beautifully and is a good substitute for a small chef's knife.  It takes and holds a good edge, and it does a great job of preparing ingredients for stir-fry.

However, let it be said that if you are buying this knife mostly because of the promise that food won't cling to it, you will be somewhat disappointed.  Food does not cling to it quite as much as it does to other knives, but you will still be clearing the blade while slicing and chopping anything but the driest of foods. And take care; I am an experienced cook with many sharp knives I handle safely, but I've cut myself slightly on this one a couple of times.

Very nice looking knife.  I had to play with the light a bit to get it to work, no instructions.  There is a round plastic disc that sits on the batteries to keep them from working during shipment - must be removed before the light will work.

BEAUTIFUL knife and very sharp. The blade is very tight and the thumb stud cannot be used to open the blade. Should loosen up with use.

Great looking knife and there's not much to complain about for the price. My only issue is that the blade shape isn't to my liking. It needs a deeper belly for my use. Would definitely recommend to a friend though.

UPDATE: Bad news. I purchased two of these. One for myself and one for my girlfriend. I left mine on my desk for a few months, as I liked my Kershaw Rake that I'd had for a couple years better. Well, I decided to use my Cryo one day as my Rake needed a good sharpening and the Cryo was still sharp out of the box. I used it for one day and when I got home I noticed the blade is sliding against the frame! The blade is loose now.. not sure if it just needs tightening up or something else. Needless to say it won't get used for the time being.

The knife came quickly (buy from beach camera). First off, It is a nice looking small knife. If you want something that is light and fits in the palm of your hand, you'd probably want this. It opens very stiffly, but locks solidly into place. The finish is very good. If you think you've scratched it, just wipe it off and it usually is just debris from whatever you've cut.  strangely, this knife collects debris marks easily. This knife is solid at first glance and supposedly surgical steel, however, there are some cons to it. Definitely bends rather easily. I used it to open a battery, and this caused the very tip to bend. The edge seems to have lost sharpness also since I did this and used it to cut open a tin can. It won't cut paper almost at all now. Surgical steel shouldn't do that so quickly. It's barely been used for that and barely been used period. Overall, though, good knife that fits anywhere. But Buy with slight discretion and consider what you need it for.

My knife doesn't stay open, so due to that issue I can't use it. The knife looks nice and the blade seems sharp but i can't use it

It's pretty sharp and a little tight.  Should loosen up with use.  Springs into action quickly.  A little heavy but a good knife so far.

This is a neat knife for the occasional cut here and there, but I feel its more for style than everyday functionality.  It feels like any small slip could put your finger along the business edge of the blade.  It is nice looking though, and as long as you don't lose focus while using it, it is good for small cuts here and there.  4 stars only because I don't feel comfortable with the design, the position of your forefinger while using this seems dangerous.
