G040 Pocket Knife, 2.75'' D2 Steel Blade G10 handle, Small EDC Knife with Pocket Clip for Men Women, 2.1oz

Lightweight: Only a little over 2 ounces, very light in the pocket with a deep carry clip that transitions very easily without being too loose. Why did you pick this product vs others?: Small but ergonomic design, very sharp, very good build quality, comparable to and better than some significantly more expensive knives. Blade deployment is very smooth, as well as closing .

Really super sharp . The orange color is nice. Feels sturdy. Feels good in the pocket . Light weight and just the right size to be useful.

This knife seems to be inspired by CIVIVI with a similar open and lock feel. It's probably a notch less than CIVIVI in the action fineness but still very good. It is a tremendous value at $20. Knife is small and light. D2 steel is reasonable.

Everything you actually need, nothing you don't. Good: small, simple, pocketable, very sharp out of the box Okay: bearing is good, not great; lighter duty I've got better knives for this price, but almost always they're large, heavy, and bulky. This is the good enough truly pocketable knife you won't worry about using or losing.

If you want a knife this size, but with more rigidity and/or heft than other such small knifes that do not have metal liners, this may be a good choice for you. Fit and finish are excellent, which is surprising at this price point. The lock-up is solid. The blade, which is essentially a hollow grind, is thin and slicy. It came extremely sharp, as sharp as any pocket knife I've ever bought (and I'm 75 and have bought several dozen). The blade came dead-centered. Like the rest of the knife, the flipper tab is well finished...nothing uncomfortable about it, and as it sits at the perfect angle, it works effortlessly, deploying instantly and smoothly. The handle, with a sort of light G10 texture, is grippy enough, but not rough or scaley. Screws and pivot are flush. One note: The knife design is very efficient in terms of the ratio of handle length to blade length. When it's closed, the point of the blade sites almost at the end of the handle. Those who have large hands, as I do, may have a little problem holding the handle of this little knife, which is a bit less than 3/4" wide, so that no part of your hand extends over the opening where the tip of the blade flies out. The tip can fly out into your palm or a finger if you're not careful. My one tiny picky-nit is that I wish the detente were a bit stronger. Don't let any of this deter you, though. This is a great little knife. BTW, I wanted to remove the clip, and they included a little Allen wrench screwdriver that made that fast and easy. Very nice touch.

The blue one is not near as rich of a blue as portrayed here . The image here looks like the "Cobalt Blue" on the Spyderco Spy 27 knives and I bought this Olitans because I thought it would be the perfect companion to my Spyderco Cobalt Blue Shaman . Turns out the color is MUCH more gray ; if you have a CJRB Feldspar knife in blue G10 . . . yeh . . . like that . So I will be carring this blue Olitan with the Feldspar because they match . (the Cobalt Blue on the Shaman just makes the Olitan look anemic and sun bleached. By it's self I like the Olitan blue gray well enough . It is just that I was expecting the knife shown here on amazon . As far as the rest of the knife ; blade steel , edge sharpness , general over all build and function : THESE OLITANS ARE FIRST CLASS AND WORTH TWICE THE PRICE ! I have three others and love everything about them . By the by the G-10 texture is good and grippy . Love that ! Hence my five star rating . Just great in everyway !

Holy crap, this was honestly one of the sharpest knives out of the box I've ever had! It's held it's edge incredibly well in the few months I've had it, with pretty substantial daily use including tasks like cutting boxes, cleaning up 3D prints, cutting paracord, etc. The micarta scales are nice and grippy, almost to the point of being uncomfortable when you squeeze your grip really tightly, but not quite. The knife is well balanced when open, and I love the size and blade geometry. It's a compact and slim knife, which rides well in the pocket but allows you to grab other items without fighting with it. The blade springs open quite nicely and locks VERY securely in place, yet closes with an easy push of the locking lever. It took me a little time getting used to the clip orientation in relation to the flipper tab, since it's opposite of my previous knife, but that's simply a design difference. The pivot at the flipper would get in the way of the screws for the clip if you tried to design it differently, which limits the ability to flip the orientation vertically (flipper up vs down in your pocket). That said, the scales could be redesigned so the clip could be flipped to the opposite scale, but on the same end of the knife. This would allow you to change pockets but keep the flipper orientation the same (front or back). Overall, for a $20 knife, you're not going to go wrong!

Great little pocket knife. Compact, sturdy, and very sharp. Flips open easily and closes easily as well. Would probably buy another, especially for $20. Definitely satisfied.
