G1035 G10 Handle Drop Point

Awesome slender knife. Really nice blade and mechanism. Perfect as a steak knife to throw in your lunchbox. Very sharp out of the box

The G10 scales have much better grip than the aluminum. However, almost could not open the blade with the flipper. Took it apart and found the liner lock had too much bend (spring pressure). The liner lock holds the blade closed. Gave the liner lock a bend back just a little bit. Smooth opening now. Went with the D2 blade, it is very sharp and stays sharp well. Occasionally a swipe of oil on the blade keeps it from staining. I use cooking oil, so the knife is safe to cut food.

Great little "Gentleman's" knife. Light duty only

Great product. Refined finish and sharp out of the box. Really pleased with the purchase. I like it do much, I'm planning on getting one for my son.

The form and function of this knife is outstanding for the most part. The blade retains edge well and the handle is slim and pleasant to use and carry. However after a few months of very regular use, the locking mechanism was ground down enough through opening and closing that it no longer locks up tightly. There is a slight wiggle in the blade now. I attempted to remedy this by stretching the locking spring out a bit more but after a few more weeks the issue continued as the remainder of the metal was ground down. This may just be an issue with how the bottom of the blade and the top of the locking mechanism have been heat treated, so perhaps it is my particular knife that is an issue. Hard to say without having others to test.

It's a sweet little blade that feels good in the hand and comes super sharp. It's smooth to open as well as close. And the more I play with it the more I love it. I'm definitely going to buy more to give as gifts. The little scalpel knives are awesome to.

Thing looks and feels great but would not buy again due to the blade breaking/chipping while opening now the blade itself is loose

The knife has good fit and finish. The G10 feels better than most at this price point. However, mine did not come with a D2 designated blade like the picture shows. In use, it resembles the same performance of 8cr13mov. I’m not certain if they are now using a cheaper steel or if Chinese D2 is generally worse than US D2. However, I would say that even $15 knives have the steel stated on the blade. If you do not do this, you are essentially leaving the door open for people to assume it is a cheaper steel. Definitely not the performance I get out of US D2 blades. Good enough for the money but the blade is not as good as anticipated. Please disclose what your steel is on the blade.
