Favorite knife - very sharp ! Use for work/home
Super sharp — cuts through like butter 🔥😮💨 I really like the size. It’s not too big and not too small — just right. The design is sleek and feels great in hand. I’m left-handed, and it’s still easy and comfortable for me to open and close. The grip on the handle is excellent and feels very secure.

Sharp, pointy, cheapish handle cover but good guts.
This thing is razor sharp and solid. Opens smooth and no wiggle at all. The knife itself is great. It's right hand open only and takes a little getting used to to open with the little stud. Closing also takes getting used to as the lock is a little hard to get to, but not a deal breaker. The grip plastic is half a millimeter or so too big so it is not totally flush with the knife body but I smoothed it out with sand paper and it's fine now. Your thumb rubs against the grip where the grip is larger than the knife body when unlocking. Small gripe for the price. Do not use this for prying. This is like a hard fillet knife. I would totally use this to clean small fish or cutting fibers or something. I bet it would make short work of a rope. *update, I carry this every day and can't even tell I have it. I love this thing. I updated to 5 stars.

Stylish and Usable
I don't need to say much about the CEO's looks, as they're evident in the pictures above. It's got style and then some. There are a number of complaints about the thumb stud being too stiff, but it just needs a little breaking in. I played with it for hours after first opening it up (how could I not?), and now I can flick it open pretty easily. I can only imagine it will get even easier with time. The thin blade makes this a knife for casual use: opening letters, trimming loose string on your clothes, cutting boxes, etc. Given its styling, that shouldn't be a surprise to you. If you need an outdoor utility tool, get a different knife. I will say I was disappointed the blade wasn't better sharpened. I can do it myself, but I love the honeymoon period that comes with a new knife, when its blade is magically sharp. Overall, I'm very happy with this knife. It'll make a solid EDC blade, and will look good at the same time. I noticed some people mentioned their knives broke. If mine gets damaged, I'll update my review, but this certainly gives the appearance of being a well-made knife. EDIT: After a month of use, I've upped my rating from 4 stars to 5. I'm really in love with this blade. EDIT: Three months in, and the clip on the handle snapped in half. I saw some other reviews complaining about that and thought, "What are they doing it abuse it?" But not so! I was sitting on a plush couch, knife in pants pocket, and stood up. The tip of the clip caught the fabric of the couch, and the thing snapped as quick as can be. I never even felt any resistance. At first I was rather dismayed, but I emailed CRKT and they were quick to respond. They've got a rather generous parts replacement system, and I've got a new clip on the way to me free of charge. The metal on the clip is clearly something inferior like nickel. It looks and feels cheap. I'd say it's no big deal, but if these things keep snapping, surely at some point, CRKT will cut me off from free replacements.I'll update my review if it happens again or I have troubles receiving the replacement.

You'll really like this once you learn the thumb stud (see method in last paragraph of my review)
Confess to being a knife nut. Also confess to having a tub of knives that don't get the use I thought the design and its fundamentals would promise. To a certain extent I already had what I consider the great Gentlemen's EDC knives. 1.) Case teardrop pattern with wharncliffe blade. This guy fits in a pants pocket, feels smooth as a bar of soap, and just does the routine stuff like cutting pills, opening envelopes, cutting coupons, impromptu whittling, etc. like it was born for the task. 2.) An old Shrade melon tester/fruit knife. Plenty of NOS out there and the AG Rusell version of you want to be fancy. These are perfect to keep at your desk in a mug of pens ready to cut your fruit or lunch. Neither #1 or #2 has a tactical look to make you look like the Dwight Shrute of your office, and are perfect EDC/ use knives IMHO. But wanting a small unobtrusive locker I bought this piece. So onto this knife and the subject of this review. I was attracted to the elegant design. It fits the gray area between a small slip joint folder and a full size liner lock for me. Almost like a version of the Case Doctors knife with a scaled down CRKT Hissatsu blade. Seems fantastic. Definitely put together well for an affordable production knife.. Sharp enough for me out of the box. One plus is that the slim design feels totally unobtrusive clipped in the corner of the pocket. The critique of many is the thumb stud. It was initially mine. Keep in mind this is not the off the cuff review the day I got it. Have had this several mos. I thought this knife felt awkward and didn't work with my long slim fingers. It went in my aforementioned tub of knives that I bought cause they looked good on paper but didn't work for me. Attracted by its looks, I picked it up again. I also wanted a comfortable folder for walks my girlfriend and I take in wooded areas in the evenings. Now, onto the thumb stud. If you look at the thumb stud, you'll see it fits in a recessed angle that is almost a 45 degree angle. And that is the secret for me. You need to push your thumb up to the stud at this angle and this will flip open effortlessly. You also do better using the side of your thumb rather than the tip. Practice a half hour or so not looking at it and you'll have it down second nature. Try to push it at a 90 degree angle with the tip of your thumb and you will get frustrated.

My 5th CRKT knife, and possibly my favorite.
I bought this because I wanted something slim to fit in my Lochby Sling, and this bad boy is PERFECT. Super light weight, easy flip. Closing it is a bit more difficult, but you get used to it. ( I got big thumbs! ). On the expensive side, but a great knife, that will keep on kicking for a long time. Plus the company always looks out for their customers. Don't buy a cheap imitation. Get the real deal.

Deuxième couteau CRKT que j’achète, deuxième que je renvoie après l’avoir déballé. Ici l’ouverture a une main est très difficile, pas fluide et la fermeture, c’est pas mieux… ceux qui prétendent que CRKT est malgré la différence du niveau de Spyderco ou Benchmade et qu’ils innovent plus que ceux ci sont des mytho ou des vendus . Ce couteau est bas de gamme, lame trop fine et ressemble à un jouet pour le même prix, un Esee Zancudo ou un Ontario Rat-2 est bien supérieur.
