Larger EDC, but doesn't sacrifice weight!

So like, I got this knife, and within a couple of minutes using it accidentally cut my finger pretty bad. DAMN this thing's sharp! I know i'm a complete incompetent tool for doing so but the sheer ability of the blade surprised me.

Very, very lightweight for it's size. We're looking at a 3.5 inch blade but it's much smaller. Feels like a hollow piece of plastic almost. But as I already said the blade is very functional.

The clip is very well designed to sit low in the pocket as providing good gripping for the hand. It doesn't feel like it gets in the way while holding it.

Safety is kinda pointless, but a good feature nonetheless. Opens in a flash! And I don't mind the lack of the index finger lip opening function found on other knives. The thumb can do it just fine with no problem.

Overall very good knife, and great for the price!

Feels like it's custom made for my xxl hands. True, it takes up plenty of real estate in the pocket, but as a bigger guy, I (usually) have largeish pockets for my manix2xl to hide. Like me, the manix2xl is not as heavy as it appears. As far as edge retention and re-sharpening? I'll have to get back to you...

Best neck knife/EDC for a dude IMO!!  I've been using and evaluating neck knives for about the last three years and I believe I've found the right answer.....at least for me.  I'll try to outline why as effectively as possible:
- Perfect size for a man with med to large hands.  Other options don't have enough handle (or scales at all) and if they do the blade is too big/heavy overall.  Or the handle is too wide for my purposes in neck carry.
- Tip geometry, blade sweep/edge, weight/handle & scales, and finger guard make this knife an excellent fighter/penetrator you'll likely have at all times.
- Blade tip, belly, unique flat edge thickness toward tip, gimping, full tang, and exposed/pointed pommel provide basic bushcraft/light camp chore capabilities.  Knife butt could crack a shard of rock or a window if needed.  You could event baton smaller spans of wood w/the unique flat thicker area toward the tip of the blade.
- This blade complements my larger camp blade/axe/tomahawk for bushcraft and is a great "wet" fish or skinning blade due to being a quality stainless steel.  Don't need my Mora or to purchase a more expensive CS Hunter blade unless I wanted to.
- The overall value blows my mind.  The steel, form, fit, function, handle ergonomics, blade thickness, kydex sheath w/great fit and carry flexibility at this price point......are simply amazing.

ESEE Izula II Comparison:  Higher price (more for the stainless option), rounded pommel, shorter handle w/out scales and shorter less capable blade.  Ka-Bar Eskabar:  Same as ESEE except the blade is a little longer and it's slightly cheaper.  D2 Tool steel version has the same form/function shortcomings and corrodes easier than the SCHF24 stainless.  Uncountable others:  I nearly thought I'd have to design my own acceptable neck/EDC knife.  I hope this helps someone else.  Thanks.

This thing is massive.  Maybe a little big for everyday carry unless you are police or military.  I also always suggest a Spyderco sharpening system.  It puts on a razor edge with about 20 strokes.

If you are looking for a folding knife to carry, with really good steel, excellent build quality, and a simple, smooth opening/closing/locking mechanism, nothing beats Benchmade's Griptilian and Mini-Griptilian. I own both, and carry both. The big question is, which size knife/blade do you want? (If you are unsure, my recommendation is to go with the mini-Grip.)

This is my "every evening carry" knife (EEC). My usual "every day carry" (EDC) is a slightly smaller Benchmade Mini-Griptilian with a combo serrated blade. That's the perfect size for using to open packages and cut things at home or in the office, and it fits perfectly into my pocket. However, the Mini-Grip is a bit too small to be considered a self-defense blade.

By contrast, the full-size Grip is a little larger, and I like to carry it when going out for walks at night or at other times when I'm looking more for a possible self-defense blade, but don't want to carry a fixed blade knife. I also use it as an EDC sometimes.

Both my Mini-Grip and full-size grip have the thumb-hole opening, which I find comfortable and easy to use, more than the thumb studs on other versions of these two knives. However, there's nothing wrong with the thumb studs; it's a matter of personal taste.

The Axis lock mechanism lets me close the knife with one hand easily, without ever having to place my hand near the sharp end of the blade.

About the steel: Both the standard Grip and Mini-Grip use 154CM tool steel, which is very hard and corrosion-resistant, but which can be sharpened.

HINT: Benchmade offers a lifetime free sharpening service. You only need to pay for the postage to ship the knife back to Benchmade's Oregon offices. We took advantage of that for one of our other knives, and although we were without the knife for about two weeks, it came back factory-new. Sweet!

This a great option if you are looking for a larger size EDC blade.  It's personally a little to large, for my preference, to be a "go to" EDC but it works perfectly for the role it plays in my collection.  I purchased this knife as a beater camp folder and it goes along on hikes or backpacking trips.  I will sometimes EDC it on the weekends when size of the blade is not as much of an issue.  The deployment, lock-up, and blade centering are excellent; and it comes out of the box razor sharp.  I would highly recommend this knife if you are looking for a well-made, budget EDC that can take a beating.

I am keeping this knife, despite the listing being wrong.  I meant for it to be an EDC option, but I won't carry anything over three inches here in California.  Laws are fuzzy, but why risk it?  Having handled it, I'm impressed with the design and workmanship.  It opens well, and the AutoLAWKS is impressive, if a little fiddly.  The cross guard is interesting, and surely divisive.  I find it prevents my natural grip, and impedes the pointability of the blade.  Then again, I'm not planning to actively use it.

One big star off for the incorrect listing!

Buying things online with no good pictures or descriptions drives me nuts, so I'll try to be as detailed as I can with this review:

This is the Cartel Doosung soft-sided takedown recurve case.  It measures 25" wide x 10" high x 2" deep.  It's a neatly compact carry case with several inches of secure foam inside.  I use it for my 62" Samick Sage, and it fits very well. However, there is only *one single cutout* for both limbs, which isn't so great if you're worried about scratches.  My advice would be to keep the foam insert and spend a few minutes with a box cutter on the interior.  You can easily widen the opening to hold two limbs separated by the long, thin insert.  Ideally, you wouldn't have to do this yourself, since there is plenty of room in the case to hold both limbs separately and the case should be designed to do so.

The top portion of the interior, opened case is a big carrying pocket for accessories.  It closes with a single velcro tab in the middle.  However, it holds my armguard, glove, string, and stringer with no problem.  I don't feel like anything will fall out when I open it up, but if you plan to keep the loose limb bolts or any sort of heavier tools in there, you might be in for some shifting or slipping.  I keep my bolts screwed into the riser itself so I don't lose them, which required another bit of cutting the foam to compensate for the shape.  The riser itself does fit very nicely into the provided space.

The handles are short nylon straps on either side of the closed case.  There is no shoulder strap.  The exterior is nylon, and has another open pouch on the front (no closures) with an opening that cuts slightly diagonally along one corner and runs the whole length of the case.  I've put my arrows in there to get them out of my hands briefly, but they do stick out beyond the limits of the case (and I only have 27" arrows).  I wouldn't use it for any sort of longer term storage.  There is an additional small pocket under the logo that runs between the handles, about 6" square.

I don't have any other shooting accessories (sights, stabilizers, etc), so I can't speak to how other equipment might fit into the other cutout in the middle, but for thirty bucks, it's a perfectly adequate investment for a beginner or a basic setup.  It's definitely not rigid enough to stand up to heavy-duty travel or rough handling, but if you're like me and only transport your bow between your house, the car, and the archery range, it provides enough protection in a convenient package.  I like it a whole lot better than the flat, floppy, two-pocket case most pro shops will start you out with.

Hope that helps!

I bought this knife to try as a slightly smaller daily carry.  I like the looks and feel of the knife.  As a drop point knife there's an elegant curve do the spine when opened.  A straight back might be more "mean" looking but this feels good in my hands.  This is an open frame liner lock design with a circular top mounted thumb stud.  Looking down on the blade you can see through the frame other than the frame spacers holding the frame sides together.  This knife weighs in at 3.3oz on my digital scale, and is 3-3/4" long closed and 6-1/2" long open.  It is two-tone, with the frame a dark grey and the side pieces black anodized aluminum.  The side pieces are drilled in 5 places, leaving a beveled circular design with exposed aluminum.

The pocket clip is attacked at the very top of the hinge side, which helps to keep the knife deep in your pocket and safely secure.  I prefer knives with a clip attached this way.  I want my knife to be easily available but not offer up a statement that I have it with me.  It's small enough that it could also be carried as an in the pocket knife and the pocket clip is removable with a Torx tool.

My knife needed just a drop of lube to loosen it up so I could flip it open nicely.  This is about as small as you can reasonably count on flipping a knife open.  Like many other Liner Lock designs, there's an ever so slight click that happens just a moment before the knife is actually locked by the liner tab.  It happens when the blade moves off a raised bump on the lock and the blade and tab prepare to lock completely.  It locks nicely when fully opened and it's easy to slide the locking tab over to fold the knife.  I'll upload a picture so you can compare it to a few other popular knives.

About the only negative thing I have to say about this knife is that it's a little thicker than it has to be.  Even though it's smaller, due to the decorative side pieces attached to the frame they about double the width of the knife.  I would prefer it to be slightly thinner and less obvious in my pocket.  Maybe like a small version of the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Smith-Wesson-SW423BS-Oasis-Serrated-Drop-Point-Blade-Knife-Black-Titanium-Coated-Handle-and-Blade/dp/B001GYFT3W/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Smith & Wesson SW423BS Oasis Serrated Drop Point Blade Knife, Black Titanium Coated Handle and Blade</a>

4 stars for being a nice knife for a great price, a little thicker than it needs to be.

I can't say I hate the bag, but it definitely fills a roll in my bags. I didn't need another laptop bag, that role is fulfilled by my 5.11 covert backpack. This fulfills the role for tablet and edc. I keep a lot of stuff on pockets,but this is definitely larger than your maxpedition versipacks. I can fit a bible, notebook and tablet with room to spare for the main compartment. That also includes a full size handgun along with 2 magazines.

The zippers do get hung up when trying to open,maybe the bag just needs to break in a bit.

Velcro is good and strong.

Definitely lighter than a maxpedition satchel type bag.

Not large enough to fit any body armor, not that I was looking too anyway, but definitely will play a good role. Glad I found mine on a sale. I think if vertex made the price point a bit comparable to the aerospace line, they'd have competition on their hand. This compares more like the jumbo, but slightly smaller. Don't know all the dimensions, but it feels that way.

The organization wins by far over my maxpedition bags.

Overall, if you need some good nylon, to fulfill your edc needs,this will fit the role.

This is a great EDC tool, but will not take the place of traditional tools. The flat screwdriver/box opener will also work on a #2 phillips head screw (you can use a corner which is a little awkward, but can function in a pinch). The hexagonal nut wrench is a nice touch even though the sizes are necessarily limited. The clip is handy for attaching to my key ring. All that being said, it will not take the place of the correct traditional tools which are far easier to use. However, having something on hand is often better than tools you cannot get to.

I really like the weight and the fact that it virtually disappears on my key ring. I also bought a Gerber Shard, which I also like, but am not sure how I can carry it since it has a couple of really sharp points.

I didn't check the size of the knife, so its a bit bigger than anticipated (that's on me though).  Love the open mechanism.  In fact i'm about to go look for a smaller version of this knife.  Nice low profile, would not be bulky in a pocket.

Lightweight folder that lends itself well to EDC.  Personally I prefer the Spyderco Native to the Delica4 for EDC...because the Native is just as light in weight, but more sturdy and with a more substantial grip to hang on to.  Both are super sharp right out of the box.

Very nice knife!  I like it overall, but be warned, it's bigger than you might expect!  I was expecting something about the same size as a classic Victorinox Swiss Army knife, but this is bigger than that.  It's almost too big to be an EDC pocket knife in my opinion, which is what I wanted it for.

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.

I like this knife. I've owned larger utility knives of this type, and was delighted to find that smaller ones existed.
My first did not hold the blade securely; it wobbled badly. This one holds the blade rock-solid. It fits comfortably in the hand and seems well-made.

However, a few things in the design bother me. For one thing,  the extra blade storage makes the handle asymmetrical. the handle is thicker on the left side than the right. This interferes with the thumb stud (which is pretty useless anyway due to the small size of the tool).

All in all, it's a very good little utility knife, and I like the fact that I can carry extra blades at all times.

Great Knife, if you're not looking for something as big as the BK7 this is a the knife for you. As a side note, the BK10 is a bigger knife than you would expect.
