EafengrowEF951 Folding Knife,D2 Blade and G10 Handle with Liner Lock Ball Bearing Pocket Knife EDC Tool for Outdoor Camping Survival(Jade)

Awesome knife. Super sharp out the box. Bigass blade. Waxed floor smooth ball bearing action. Eafengrow is a line of knives I intend to continue buying. High quality at a killer price. I fully intended to destroy this knife for review but I like it too much. It would take a beating if needed. I EDC. If feels like a little much but learn how to use it or it is too much for edc. People keep buying knives but do you know what you'd do with it if you had to? Bet not. Learn and practice. This blade is super sharp and has a unique profile.I sliced up a 80 pound leather punch bag with ease. Beautifully made.

I have five other Eafengrow knives, all of which I am impressed with.This knife, considering it's low price, is awesome! It is quite nice, really, and compares favorably to other knives in my collection that are three times the price.Specifically: the knife has an overall lack of tool marks, by which I mean that the scale edges are by no means shiny, but they are clean and attractive, as is the blade spine.The sides of the blade do display a grind pattern, but it is quite fine and consistent. The blade profile has a pronounced upwards curve, which I thought might negatively affect the ergonomics, but it turns out that it is quite useful for me. It should be clear in the images that the blade is fully flat ground, which I personally prefer. Finally, the blade is D2, and has been heat treated in a way that the edge retention is very, very good, and my specimen was unusually sharp out of the box. I have a few other Eafengrow D2 knives that I use specifically for cutting up cardboard boxes, and cardboard is thick, and filled with particles of grit that can take the sharp off an edge pronto. Nevertheless, I am astonished, I mean really astonished, at how many feet of cardboard that I can cut through before needing to resharpen! The blade deployment is fast and smooth. At the rear of the blade's cutting edge, is a large finger choil, which is a feature that is important enough to me that I look for it.The scales are a nice and grippy G10, and somewhat thicker than some, which makes a more secure grip for cutting, with only the slightest increased pocket bulge.The inner steel scales sport large voids on both sides to reduce weight, and I am surprised at how light it is, considering the large size.I bought this model specifically because I need a few folders that have 4 inch long blades, which can be a challenge to find.I should probably mention that this knife is tip-down carry. This might be of importance to some, as tip-up is the most common configuration at this time (2021.) I like tip-down carry for the inherent safety, and I *have* been cut with tip-up knives. However, I confess that I do not like the feel of the grip when the clip is at the blade-hinge end of the handle. For the knives that I keep handy in a kitchen drawer for utility purposes, such as this one, I remove the clips anyway.This is certainly one of the overall best Eafengrow knives that I have so far, and if you need or desire a *4 inch blade*, you will likely be very happy with this model!

This is a pretty knife. The handle and blade are both aesthetically pleasing. The shape of the blade is cool and could be intimidating, it's not a small blade. As far as functionalality goes, probably a show-er, not a worker. It flicks open nice and smooth but because of the shape of it, I've noticed my finger will touch the blade inadvertently when I open or close it. Also, I have it at 4 stars because the clip keeps on coming loose. I'll fidget with it, not even a lot, and have to tighten it again. I used loctite on it, seems to have worked.

Great larger than normal knife, it has jimping on the top of the blade where your thumb sits (which I look for in pocket knives and I recommend you do too!!!) for that little extra piece of mind, built well, sharp enough to shave with, the flick nub acts almost as fast as a spring assist, well worth the price and this level of quality normally sells 2 to 3 times more. Came beautifully boxed (normally would have been giftable quality) with a polishing rag ...BUT...and maybe I am being a tad picky...but they wrapped a clear piece of tape around the middle of the box all the way around instead of no tape or small half moon shaped less sticky pieces. When I went to remove it so I could open the box...it ripped of the outer layer of surface paper including the Eafengrow logo and is no longer giftable/resellable quality. I could have just slit the tape to open but it still looked...well...not good to be polite. Buy it for the knife but if you buy it as a gift and they tape yours this way too, do not remove the tape to inspect but explain what will probably happen if they do. I hope this helped someone!

I've been looking at their knives for awhile. They come up with or 'reinterpret' interesting designs and have intrigued me to try them. HOWEVER, almost all of their knives are unsafe for left hand (pocket) carry. The clips are in the wrong place and most do not have clips that can be switched. This one cannot be changed either, but is in a place that provides safe left hand carry, so I bought it!This is a really good knife, especially for the price. Lock up is as solid as any liner lock I've use at any price. For SHTF, I'd stick with my Tri-ad Lock. For EDC, this a great option! Knife handle is very comfortable and allows for several grip positions. I'll play with it a bit, but I'm guessing it will be great for casual carving at the fireside.The knife came shaving sharp, blade edge centered. The jade G10 looks nice. I would put fit and finish out of the box at about 95%. The G10 was cut in a way that left very vertical edges on the knife handle. Fine if it was a tactical blade, perhaps, but not ideal for an EDC. About 10 mins of 1500 grit wet sanding completely aligned the G10 to scale edges and rounded it just enough to feel like you'd been carrying it a couple years. Now it's one of the most comfortable knives I own. (Certainly several dozen) Sabre grip is awesome and looks great with the curved blade.I highly recommend one. My adult daughter tried to bond with mine. Solid, sharp, comfortable and a great color.

Very cool knife and a very cool price. I wish I could move the pocket clip to the other end of the knife though. Any suggestions on a screw/nut kit that would fit this knife and perhaps use the extra hole on the opposite side of the blade pivot?
