KATSUJapanese Folding Pocket Knife, Sakura Blade Nemoto Design (Black)

For the price, this knife is very good.

Its beautiful, solid, got a great weight to it, blade is sharp, feels fantastic to hold and use.Its only downside if one can call that is breaking it in. Took awhile to get use to the action and to smooth it up for opening. I love that its so firm but I wish the action was a bit smoother and didn't stick so much when going to open it up. Makes is worlds safer from an accidental opening and once you break it in and get used too it its fine.But that really is the only 'critique' I can give of it. Beautiful knife.

I am very happy with this knife. It’s well crafted with secure movementsIt will be a future gift for a friend

Great quality, snappy action. Orange color attractive. G 10 handle should be aluminum or other material.

Heavy weight to it . Quality made . Nice knife . It will be my everyday carry .mine is the orange one .

I gifted this knife to myself because it looked cool. I only have a few knives so far (they are all approximately the same size and price range as this one), so I can't comment about the blade quality or any of the technical details unfortunately. First of all, this knife comes in a dive box, which is a very cool way to store it. It has a carbon fiber detail on the handle which I assume is for decoration only because the knife is really heavy overall compared to others of similar size. The blade arrived super sharp. It's fairly easy to open with one hand, even for me (a woman with small hands). The only thing that threw me off was it took me a long time to figure out how to close it. Probably my newbie ignorance, but my other knives, and others I have used, have an obvious notch or indent so you know where to put a little pressure to release the blade so you can close it. On this one, there's a notched out area on both sides (the dark gray and the black side) that just looks like decoration (to me, again, inexperienced knife owner) and it took a few minutes for me to discover that pressing on the dark gray side would release the blade so I could close the knife. Right about now, if you're an experienced collector you've definitely rolled your eye at least once during this review haha. Anyway, I'll wrap up by reiterating that I really love this knife, I'm glad I added it to my small but growing collection. As I learn more, I may not be as impressed, but as a new collector it is a nice addition for me.

It's a well made knife. Sharp blade. It's awkward to open. I don't like the design.

It was disappointing, for a Japanese product and 100 dollar knife, I was expecting better quality. The product dont looks new, had dust and used marks. (Pictures) Delivery package need additional bubble protection.
