I love these little knives!

They're inexpensive, sharp out of the box, and great to keep around for a quick cutting jobs like mail and boxes. A step up from my collection of box cutters. I don't feel bad if I lose one of these in the field (or occasionally in a pocket going through airport security), and I hope if people find them, they appreciate them too!

Simple and useful

Love these little Japanese wonders. So simple and rugged I've purchased a few to stash around the house, cars and shop for all kinds of use. Highly recommended.

Cute little knife!

This was bought as a present for my partner. We love the TV show “Monarch” and this is a smaller version of one in the show. He loved it!

I put it on my keychain

I bought this as something for when I need an emergency cutting edge. Often times I would forget it was in my pocket and it would take a tumble or two through the washer and dryer, the pin is a little stiffer but nothing wrong with that.

Pocket sized, useful and neat

This is a great little knife, it opens and closes easily and has no issues so far. it came very sharp and I have not yet felt the need to sharpen it myself. I have used it for the normal thread cutting problems at work, I have open boxes with it, helped peal an orange and I pried a couple Heroclix figures off their base to use in another game. it is just a handy knife and since it opens one handed I go for it more than for my Victorinox Tinker that I have carried since 1994. it is also a great conversation starter; when people see it they always ask 'What is that?"

Wasn’t sharp

Maybe mine is an imposter. Maybe I expected too much based on the other reviews I read. Mine came in a plastic sleeve, like I would expect from a Chinese made gas station knife. The blade isnt close to sharp, and maybe it can be honed to be sharp, but I doubt I’ll take the time, since I have other, better options for a keyring knife. Nowhere close to the mini-samurai hype. Disappointed after all the 5 star reviews I read here and the positive online reviews I saw, but at least I’m only out $11 - you do get what you pay for, as I am continually reminded.

New Favorite

I miss my tiny Crawford frame lock that I lost years ago and have finally found a new tiny pocket knife to keep on me. This is almost as small and very handy, but about 1/20th the price of, and much easier to replace than the Crawford. The edge needed some TLC with my Lansky sharper, to bring-in a good edge, but it is fine now. I love this little knife.

This little knife comes from a long line of Japanese sword makers dating back to the Samurai!

One of the best hand-made knives one can get. This is not a cheap China-made blade. Made in Japan by hand, by a re-known and humble craftsman. The brass handle and Japanese inscription on it is a nice bonus. I gifted the smaller version of this to my Mom - she loves using it for her craft projects.OOooooos
