HX OUTDOORS Pocket Folding Knife with Lock Clip, Premium D2 Steel Foldable EDC Camping Knife with Non Slip Aluminium Alloy Handle for Men，Outdoor, Survival, Camping, Hiking

Decent knife, seems to have gone up a little in price since I got mine a couple months ago.I have several knives, but I'm definitely not an expert. I tend to get knives for utilitarian purposes, as most people do, so I have no interest in collecting them.The shape of the blade is unique to me, as I often get knives with a more traditional clip point or drop point. But I wanted to mix things up so I got this one. I can't say that I have found any advantage to this blade shape, but it is functional. After using it as a fidget toy for awhile, it now flips open smoothly. Originally it was a bit stiff. The push button to release the blade is pretty smooth. There's gimping on the spine that's not real aggressive, but functional. The blade is D2, which I never had an issue with, and retains its sharpness pretty well.As much as I like the skeletonized handle, the texture is a bit aggressive. The knife often hangs up on my pocket when trying to remove it. It's not overly aggressive, and is relatively comfortable in hand, but I'm just noting that it can be annoying getting it out of a pocket. Since it's a tip up carry, I reversed the clip since I carry in my left pocket. I want the blade to the outside in case it opens in my pocket, and I don't poke myself. It's happened in the past, so it can happen.Overall I'm happy with this knife. Given that it really doesn't offer anything that my other knives don't, I don't carry it every day. I do carry it often though and have used it a lot. I like it though and will continue to get plenty of use out of it, but I don't personally see the advantage of this blade shape. Maybe others who are more knowledgeable about knives may have a different opinion.

I was really impressed with the packaging at first, but then I started wondering "what the heck am I going to do with it now that the knife is my EDC?"I mean, I just pretty much leave it in my pocket or set it on my dresser. But the little plastic box that it came with is pretty cool. It's like a little Pelican case (though not as well made).The overall weight is actually just right. Not heavy, but also not too light the way some pocket knives can be. The steel seems durable and so far it seems to be retaining an edge pretty well. Though I've yet to sharpen it since I really haven't dulled the blade yet. I'm interested to see how it takes a sharpening.I also really love that the pocket clip sits high on the end of the handle so that it fits low in the pocket and doesn't really stick out. It opens and closes easily with one hand, but the push-button to close takes a little getting used to if you're used to other mechanisms. The plastic box it comes in makes for a nice presentation for a gift.

D2 steel is a HRC56-60 tool steel that is fairly durable and semi-stainless. it's a slight step down from S30V but has similar properties. Edge retention is excellent but sharpening is very difficult--this is not a good beginner steel. the handle is a rugged-looking aluminum with a fair amount of heft--I would love to have seen a slimmer, lighter handle. the blade can be thumbed out at the eye or flicked open with a tab on the spine, and both actions are smooth and natural. the blade locks with a pin that releases with a positive-feeling aluminum button--I really like the action of this knife, it's smooth, firm, and satisfying while still being fast, and everything falls immediately to hand.unfortunately, the blade shape is a letdown. it's a rounded tanto shape that looks cool but manages to be bad at everything and especially bad with this steel--the factory sharpening job left a very smooth, thin edge that you could shave with but lacks bite for real work. the rounded shape of the blade would be useful for some tasks but they're easier with a longer knife and the kink in the middle of the blade would interfere. the knife comes packaged in the kind of tacticool plastic box they use to sell fishing tackle to gravy seals and this knife unfortunately follows suit. you're getting S30V-performance steel for 2/3 the price, but I would look for a different knife for real work. that said, if you want a great steel at a low price and just need An Pocketknife, you could do much worse.

This is a nice little knife to keep on your person. It has a clip to attach to the inside of your front pocket as well as a one-handed operational design. Just like other flip lock designs, it opens with the press of the lever on the top back. Once it locks in place, you don't have to worry about it closing by accident.The way that this differs from other designs I have tried, is the push button located at the top left that closes it. I am used to having the lock inside the grip, which usually requires the use of your other hand to close safely. This feels like it is just enough up and out of the way where it won't be activated accidentally. It would have been nice to have a slide lock on the button just for good measure though.That said, I am really liking this blade and can easily recommend it. It feels good in the hand and is also light weight for carry. The blade itself is sharp, and it came in a nice protective case with foam inside. I probably won't be using the case for the knife, but I'll happily use it for other valuables I own.

I really like this knife. It's a very good design, it's a convenient size, it seems well-made, and it's pretty sharp. I'm not a huge fan of the blade shape; I think the tanto point is a bit lazy. It seems like a sharper transition tanto or a regular drop point would be better.But, the absolute best feature of this knife is the unlocking mechanism. It is a very easy button push, and you don't have to put your fingers in the path of the blade like 90% of locking knives out there. I don't know why we don't see more of that. "Pro tip" - you can also use the unlocking mechanism to deploy the blade with a quick flip. I don't know if it's intend to be used that way, but when you press that button, all the tension leaves the system, and you can flick it right open.
