Grand Way 12.2" Retro Folding Knife with Wood Handle & Leather Sheath - 7.8" Long Foldable Sharp Blade - Large Pocket Knife for Men Camping Hunting Survival Work 12 KG

This is a very unique knife. Some reviews caution you can easily cut yourself upon closing it; and that is VERY ACCURATE CAUTION. But like most risks: if you know it and take note and use care accordingly the risk is very manageable. The closing issue is it takes a little pressure to close the blade back fully and you need to BE SURE you hold the back side (not sharp side) of blade carefully and not get fingers in way as it closes and not stick yourself with sharp point in closing. This just requires EXTRA CARE and MINDFULNESS every time you close it, and it's not hard (as long as you remember and use that care). BEYOND THAT this is a perfect knife (so far; just got it but think it will perform/last fine and work well for me.FACTS: 1. Case: I disagree with those negative comments on the case; it is fine and has a very effective strap that snaps over and VERY SECURELY holds knife in the very decent case. 2. Weight and Size: It is NOT a LIGHT WEIGHT KNIFE, but it is a big knife and solid hence some weight. This is NOT a problem in general, so long as you don't want to pocket carry it (which is NOT my intention, so fine by me). 3. NOT a good self defense knife in sudden emergency. It is a MANUAL Blade that opens in 2 steps (opens to 90 degrees and cllck stops and them continues on to 18o degrees and clicks again and lock into a straight, open blade. NO button or spring to open (manual, slow opening). 4. The blade is LONG-- this is the beauty of this knife! It is essentially 3 parts: the case, the blade and a fold in/fold out blade extension receptor. The fold in/fold out blade tip receptor covers (very effectively/safely) the last few inches of blade WHEN it is closed up; otherwise the blade, when closed, would be protrude a few inches longer than the main hard case, so that extended blade needs to be covered when putting it back in case; this functions well and seems very solid and effective and is VERY UNIQUE feature). 5. Case Fit: After opening up the blade end cover, such that it. is over the blade of the last few inches, you must put it in the case in proper manner such that the tab that snaps over it covers and holds the knife VERY SECURELY in case. NOTE: Mine had NO INSTRUCTIONS with it, but was easy for me to figure out ... but I added these details since mine came w/o instructions and might help others to figure out this VERY UNIQUE big knife, that folds down to compact size and a secure carry case. For my wants (longer blade than normal pocket knife, yet compact for easier carry than most long knives) it is perfect. I would NOT use it for an emergency self defense knife OR for a pocket carry knife ... it's more of a full sized knife when opened up). It's excellent if your needs are right for it; it is very solid, operates smoothly and works very well ... if you need/want a LONGER blade knife that can fold up and be carried is secure case. I think the size of blade and weight specs are listed on Amazon description. It is a big, solid knife when opened up.

This was my second knife, as I liked the first one well enough to get a second to keep in my tool box.

Great knife, but quality control is a bit lacking.One of the wooden handles was loose. Luckily I had the right bit to tighten it, but on the opposite side of the screw I tightened was one that was somehow completely stripped, so hopefully I never have to tighten that one.

Mejor de como lo imaginaba, un filo excelente, un tamaño perfecto, me agrada mucho.

It was purchased as a gift, and was received very well.

Just what I wanted

really sharp blade. Also fit and finish is superb. Fits into the supplied sheath easy and is more compact than a fixed blade.

If you added a thumb break and a pocket clip to that knife you get five star reviews you need to be able to open a knife with one hand and use it.
