Indestructible.
Ergonomically, this knife is fine. The hole in the blade isn't really large enough or far enough out to make one-handed opening easy, but it works OK. The lock-back is nice, and probably my favorite feature of the knife. Aesthetically, it feels like someone just kind of drew an outline of a knife and didn't fill any details in. It's a half-formed abstract blob of a knife, without…

any real distinguishing features. It's like the shmoo of the knife world. This is my least favorite thing about it.
Because I'm not all that fond of this knife, it's spent the last four & a half years as my "digging in the dirt" knife. Basically, everything people do with a knife that you really shouldn't do with a knife, I use this knife for it. Prying, scraping, digging... it's had a very rough life and been dull for most of it because I recognize the futility of sharpening a knife that I'm going to relentlessly abuse. So, while I still don't really *like* this knife, I've come to the conclusion that it's basically indestructible. I've clogged the pivot with dirt dozens of times, pried rocks out of the ground, scraped corrosion off my battery terminals with it, and all you need to do is rinse it off and oil it a little and the blade will drop closed. And it has no blade play. I've thought I was going to break the blade off a few times prying things, but somehow the pivot & lock are still tight and sound.
So, basically, it's a perfectly adequate knife. From the standpoint of durability, utility, and price I don't know how you'd improve on it.
Great Beater
Lightweight, sturdy, and has a great pocket clip. It's not to stiff, but still has good retention. The blade came pretty sharp. I don't think you'll find better for the price.
At least on the knife I received, the Foliage Green is more like dark grey with maybe a hint of green. I actually do like the color, it just looks nothing like the color pictured.
3/16” bit, move the clip
Twenty dollars well spent. The thumb-stud’s dimensions and location are perfect for easily operating the knife one-handed. Took a 3/16” drill bit w/ 1/4” hex-head in a screwdriver handle to the lanyard loop and repositioned the pocket clip for a deeper carry. Do it; you won’t regret it. Love the multiple color variations. Took an edge just fine. Will buy a dozen to hand… read more out as gifts.
Best budget knife
This knife is great for the price fit and finish are better than more expensive knives. Lock up is solid. Pocket clip is great for a budget knife. I carry this more lately than my more expensive knives. Light wait and if I drop it I can see it. I got the red and black one to go with it since I was so impressed with this knife. For the price buy two. The knife came very sharp and…

is easy to sharpen to a razor edge. Great EDC knife. If you use your knife buy this if you want something pretty to look at buy a spderco.
Poor heat treat
Couldn’t get it to hold an edge. Trashed it.
Can't beat this price
Great beater knife. I just received mine a week ago and I am very impressed with the quality vs price.
The bright colors they offer are a definite plus. Make it harder to lose or walk away from.
The handle is made from cheaper material., but this is expected. Even though they are cheap the offer great texture and grippiness.
Action is so great and blade came…

very sharp. I won't hesitate to take this guy to work with me,
Graet knife
I've gotta say this knife is a great one for the price. Very sturdy. Good steel, just strop it for a few minutes every once in a while and keeps it's razor edge.
Mini tank.
the price is right.
steel is not great.
not to excited about it being made overseas.
would pay more for better steel and manufacturing in a western country.
other than that I've carried this knife on and off for years and use it primarily as a jobsite knife and it's handled everything I've thrown at it from cutting drywall to cutting out old carpet and much more.
never…

worried about carrying this little beast.
Stiff action.
Given the price it's not surprising this knife looks cheap. The mega stiff action keeps me from carrying this knife at all. I don't mind maintenance on knives but I don't like having to do it right out of the box. Again though with the price... Not overly surprising that it's necessary.
Lightweight edc
This is a great lightweight knife but sturdy, the lock is nice and strong. The knife its self is a great user, no need to worry about dinging it up. To me there's not much to complain about, its a $20 dollar knife that can used and abused and if need be replaced for cheap
Great Knife
This knife is so awesome, especially for the price point. The olive drab color is better than I have ever seen on any knife and I love the black blade too. One thing I have noticed is that under normal use the black coating on the blade will start to chip and wear off. I dont mind it and think it looks kind of cool but some people might not like it. I love the size of the knife,… read more it is perfect for everything i would use it for. It would even be great as a lightweight hunting or backpacking blade too!
Best Knife Under $20!
I’ve never been so impressed with a knife that I purchased a second one....until this! Great ergos, Steel, lockup, and price! A must have for EDC. I’m a standard DIY Dad and a technician at work, this knife fits both categories.
Love this color
I received this knife in the tan as a groomsman's gift well over 18 months ago and I carry it every day. When I found it they had it in green I ordered it right away. Shipping was fast.
Excellent for the price
This blade is a must buy for $20. It is so lightweight and very capable.It came razor sharp out of box. The action was a bit stiff out of box, but once I opened it about a hundred times it loosed up. This is a great knife that will last you a long time and its cheaper then a tank of gas.
