I purchased the serrated version and to say this knife is worth the price I paid just isn’t fair! I would've paid double or more and it would be worth every penny. This knife is great quality so I’m probably going to pick up a couple of the other models. I’ve owned Opinels and while I can’t speak to how well this will hold up over time, I anticipate it will be right there as long as the other go-to’s. This knife was incredibly well packaged. The only gripe I have is that it took a solid 30 days from order to arrival. Not sure what happened there but in the current trade climate, who knows. It was well worth the wait. Great piece of camping gear that has already earned a spot in my home kitchen too.

This seems a well made knife. It was larger than I pictured. If you are in the USA be sure to check with your local laws on blade length restrictions for folding knives for carrying before you put it in your pocket (my current state has no restriction but it is good to check). The wood is lovely and fells light in the hand. It is sharpen well across the full blade. I could not find it in the description, but it is single bevel, which is completely expected for a Japanese knife, but makes it best suited for a right handed person for any lefties looking. I have had practice in sharpening blades such as this to work better for my left hand so I will be getting my stones out.My only trouble was I think this will be my last use of next day shipping for something I actually need next day as it now seems 50/50 if it will come or be delayed. This was delayed so we didn't have it for a camping trip so I had to figure something else out. Still, It's a solid blade so I will keep it for the future.

I would normally only buy high hardness Japanese knives with a bit more carbon and a bit more likely to stain, and I do for my house. I have a 4x4 van with a galley that I've put some of my smaller knives in but they can get banged around off road, so I went looking for a solution.I looked at Youtube reviews, Amazon reviews, and knife videos on what people look for in folding food prep camp knives, and I settled on these for a few reasons.1) I could pay 5x more for a folding knife with a ball bearing action, and many high end folding makers are making camp knives with high end steels. If you want to spend hundreds of dollars for just one knife, you can do that. This doesn't have ball bearings, but it does have brass washers (certified locksmith here) and brass has excellent machine properties for not being a ball bearing. With a little bit of tsubaki or food grade mineral oil and adjustment of the torx screws (some were a little tight), all four can be made to glide nice and smoothly. You can even use graphite lock lube on the brass, but I don't trust the hydrocarbon carrier fluid to touch my food.2) I wanted a softer steel that's less likely to chip. Being in a van, one normally can't afford to bring extra knives just to have as backup in case it chips and I need to reshape the blade on a belt grinder. I do carry a worksharp set so I could if I have to, but it's still a pain. 440A is a trusted stainless steel for utility knives that is hard enough to take a quite sharp edge, but it's very durable and is less likely to chip. Especially with these full edge ground blades (which is generally better for food processing, except for butchering with a cleaver), the blade end can be quite thin. My wife doesn't take care of knives, meaning she will wash but not dry my knives no matter what I say, and she doesn't care if she is cutting into a bone or pit. So I wantes a reslient steel. At home I just have her use Our stamped German knives rather than my forged Japanese knives, but in a van I don't want to bring two sets, again. In addition to brute strength, 440A is very highly stain resistant, quite a bit more rust-proof than harder, more expensive steels.3) With the more economical and yet more rugged steel, costs are low enough that you get 4 total knives for the price of half an expensive knife. I especially appreciate the bread and petty knives, because they serve their own purposes, and trying to put a serration into one folder weakens the overall utility of the knife. Separate is better, even though I am trying to keep my total knife count down in the van. Even when hunting and field dressing, I carry multiple knives for different tasks on big game.4) The design is solid for cooking purposes. Many folders have crevices that are hard to get food matter out of. The water pressure in my van isn't that high (30-50psi with low flow filters). What these knives do is they give you an entirely clear fold pocket that you can clean all the way through with running water, and if needed, an object can push anything out without running into the far side of the handle. That they also fold the blade away you can put them in your van and expect the blades to retain their sharpness after they bounce around. Plus, on top of it all, they have burlap sacks. I used a sharpie pen to label them with the name of each knife.5) The torx screws are standard, meaning you can easily take it apart and deep clean or repair, if needed. No security or proprietary bits. No difficult springs. The locking mechanism is just a piece of long stainless steel. I can always add a dab of loctite if things get a little loose. The female screw for the folding pivot action wasn't too long -- it was short enough that you can tighten down the make screw as tight as you'd like. That means the action will not be so loose that you'd have to file that down to get it tight again.6) The fit was a little on the tight side. That's what you get for $20 a knife. I took a flat diamond file and touched up some of the lock engagement area on one of the knives to get the lock to engage better. It's better that it starts tight than starts loose, though. I can tune it to my finger strength for fast one-handed operation. So if you want to gift it, maybe buy it, touch it up, and then send it off. I wouldn't buy it as a gift kit without double checking all the knives and adjusting them slightly.Overall, it's a good value for what you get, you can touch it up to make them almost as good as a 5-10x more expensive knife, and you get a complete set of knives for any camping food prep situation.I might buy a second set and transform it into a filet/boning knife, skinning knife, gut hook, and bone saw set. Then I'd have a field set and a prep set all in the same style. Currently I have to use a knife roll and fixed blades, although I do use a silky folder as a field bone saw for cutting down animals for backpacking out.

Exactly as advertised; I was worried about it being too small, but it actually was significantly bigger than I expected. Seems to be a quality item, certainly higher quality than it needs to be for it's given purpose. Comes with a cute little bag and a cleaning cloth. Has a nice strong handle and a thick blade. The overall impression is one of sturdiness.

This is a comprehensive set of knives for your camp kitchen, and easy to take just one backpacking with the included burlap bag for each knife. They feel great in the hand and look quite beautiful. The folding cutting board even has a garlic grater built in. There is room for a whetstone. Even the box it came in is reusable if you take out the insert. It is sturdy, with a magnetic close, and attractive enough to store things. I currently have a collection of whetstones stored inside. I highly recommend this set.

Kinda sharp, tried a 17° first and went to 24° edge worked best for me, then I could slice tomatoes paper thin, fits in my knife block open, good looking handle and blade would buy again!

A little heavy for travel but worth having around for all around cutting need. Been having issues with a travel knife for cutting up fruits and food while traveling without rusting up or requires sharpening much. This fits the bill for an affordable price. Very sharp out of the box. Only issue is it's heavy! Wished it was a bit lighter but then again, it works really well so far.

The media could not be loaded. I love knives, and I love to cook. I wanted some excellent kitchen knives to travel with so I can cook with my preferred set. I looked through so many and chose these after sitting in my cart for some time. I LOVE these knives. They are a good zie, I have very small hands and these are easy for me to use, but husband's has are much larger and he found them comfortable to use for chopping. These knives have a heavy wood handle, gives excellent grip, and extremely sharp. I mean really sharp. even whipping the blade to clean off the chopped garlic with my finger I slightly cut myself. They do clean easily and I leave them open to dry before closing the blade. Just be really careful with them, they are ninja sharp .
