Eafengrow EF5&6&15 Folding Knives 9Cr18Mov Steel Blade G10 Steel Handle Ball Bearing Outdoor Camping Knife

Fantastic knife. This is a substantial knife, pretty much maxing out the idea of "pocket", but it's not so big as to be a pain. It's just sizeable and solid. Even with the larger, heavier blade, it still flips open single handed very smooth and easy. If it doesn't lock open when you first try it, just add a little flick of the wrist and it'll snap into place. Once open, it feels very secure, with no wobble at all. The handle is curved well and in my bigger hands, 3 fingers lock in. My pinky fits on the outside, but still comfortably. The jimping and shape of the back of the blade fits my thumb well and makes it an even more secure grip. The blade has a clean satin finish and is plenty sharp out of the box. It's size makes it more suitable for utility than delicate procedures, but it tapers to a nice point that would suffice for little things if necessary. This is a great camp knife. Held up higher on the grip and it's perfect for digging in, stripping bark, etc. A looser middle grip is great for slicing. Held toward the back, with a little swing and I used it to cut back pumpkin vines and other plant stems.

I have to agree with the other reviewer; this knife is astounding for so little money! The build quality and workmanship are excellent, it's HEAVY, it's STRONG, the blade deploys VERY smoothly, it locks up solidly, the knife is well balanced and feels good in your hand. It's also VERY sharp. My only complaint, and I hesitate to even mention this, is that on MY sample, the blade centering isn't great. To start this, some of the less expensive (note the I did NOT say "cheap") knives out there are assembled rather hastily. Because of the nature of the liner lock mechanism, the forces of the locking bar (inside the handle) presses on the blade ALL THE TIME, which if those forces are not compensated for can cause the blade to sit at an angle (meaning it's NOT centered). So, what do they DO about that? Well, if they use bronze washers at the pivot point, they normally use two different thicknesses; a thicker washer on the pivot point on the lockbar side and a thinner washer on the other side of the blade (or visa versa, depending on the design). This helps balance out the tendency of the blade (again, due to the lockbar) to sit at an angle. It also requires adjusting the pivot pin screw to that 'JUST RIGHT' amount of torque (to maintain smooth and rapid blade deployment), which is NOT a quick adjustment. I have NOT taken this knife apart yet (I have four or five other knives in the que already), but I suspect that the washers are reversed. I WILL be taking the knife apart and whatever I find out, I'll update this review. Other than that, it is a superb knife for so little money and I'm VERY surprised at the quality. In every sense if is a GREAT bang-for-the-buck knife!

This one is a real hand full. In true Eafengrow fashion, this knife is over built, heavy and extremely strong. It feels perfect in my hand. The action is not snappy, but very smooth. With a little practice, you can get the flipper to cleanly deploy the heavy blade without slinging it. The lock up is positive with no play and can be operated with only one hand. The blade is centered well and is very thick, contributing to both the strength and weight of the knife. The knife came very sharp and well lubed. It carries well in a pocket with the attached clip, however, I plan to acquire a sheath for it and remove the clip. Great value.

This is the largest folding knife I've ever held. I've got fixed blade belt knives that are not this big, or this heavy. This is solid. It's well assembled, well machined, and did I mention it's big? There's lots of little touches that make it that much more better. For example, the liner lock. On initial glance it looks kinda thin. But that's just a trick of the light. The liner lock is substantial, and it only appears 'thin' because it was thoughtfully and very lightly scalloped to give a more solid and less shapr purchase when disengaging the lock. The knife locks solidly open, and you have to want to close it. I don't know enough metal chemistry to remark on the blade other than, well ground, well polished, and nicely sharpened. If you need a hard use knife, that folds up to carry on your belt or in a (very large) pocket, this is a blade for you.

Ms. Amanda is right. This puppy is a chunk monster. An exceptional value in my opinion. I appreciate heavy knives. Fit my hand perfect, just like a set of brass knucks. Razor sharp out of the packaging 9Cr18Mov steel. Takes an edge quickly and easily and keeps it. Smooth G10 scales, stainless end caps for that timeless look. Don’t understand the blue ribbing is, so when I disassemble it for cleaning and lubrication, I’m liable to leave it out of reassembly. Mines not loose and rattling at all, just doesn’t add to the appearance. With the bright clip and end cap you won’t be stealthy. Flipper could use a jumping as it’s smooth but I have no problems handling it. Now the bad thing. I came back here to purchase another one, and they’re out of stock. That sorta aggravated me. I like it enough to review it out of stock and nowhere to be found on Amazon. If your large like myself, when you find one grab it. You won’t be disappointed.

A real man's knife. Almost too big a knife for the pocket, but damn impressive on display. A solid blade with easy deployment.

Wow, this knife is well made, smooth action, the best ergonomic size and weight are perfect for me. This is more knife than I expected. Very sharp and a nice overall heft or size and weight. This is my new favorite knife. There's no lanyard fitting but you don't need one. Best action opening & closing ever!!!
