ST112 Folding Knife

I like it and it is my new EDC. Came very sharp, smooth opening, blade well centered, blade stays parked well and locks open well, nice light weight for carry. Two minor issues. 1. the sides are a bit smooth for gripping and 2. the screws that retain the clip are a bit too thick and as others have mentioned, do crimp pocket seams. Time will tell if the blade holds an edge well. Update: After a few weeks of carry, I don't like how smooth the Miacarta is. In the pictures it appears to be textured - it is not. Also, as a few others have commented, the liner lock is too low in the frame and is not easy to depress and the screws for the clip do prevent the clip from riding over the pocket seam for jeans. I still like the knife and will continue to carry it but I will take time to correct the deficiencies that I noted. Still it is a very good knife and at a good price. Maybe I'm being picky for a knife in this price range but I would have paid more for it if it came more to my liking. (better textured scales, easier liner lock, flatter clip screws) Update: Darn!! Only 2 weeks old and I lost it - nowhere to be found. I ordered another Sitivien - the 127. It's a little different but I hope it's as good or better than the 112. (It was 8 bucks more.) I will review that one when it arrives

Omg!! What an incredible value. This is a real bang for the buck. Unprecedented quality!!

These knifes are really nice for their price range. Looks great. Came nice and sharp. I have a few sitivien knifes and my only issue is the extremely flimsy pocket clip. It's designed is awful. The curve at the end catches on stuff and causes the clip to get bent very easily. 5 minutes and a vice fixed the catching issue. Just have to flatten the curve at the end

Just buy it. It’s a beautiful knife. The blade instantly reminds of Brad Zinker’s urban trapper. Came pretty sharp. Not quite razor sharp, but more than adequate. The micarta scales are finished exactly how I like them, with just enough texture to give some grip, but still feel smooth. Blade came perfectly centered. The only possible downside would be the relatively soft detent. Even that is just a tad too soft. Still flips beautifully. A benefit of the softer detent is the ability to wrist flick the blade open, with just the right motion. Style is subjective, but I’ve got more expensive knives, from established brands, that this cheap knife would embarrass when it comes to fit & function. Bottom line: I just received the brown today, and I’ve already ordered the green.

For the price point this knife is awesome! Smooth action, feels great in your hand. Would have been perfect had some jimping been cut into the blade at the handle for your thumb, but it's still a fantastic knife. Highly recommend and I will look into other Sitivien products!

The first time I reviewed this knife I started out, "This 31/2” pocket knife is well suited for carry in your left pocket for easy one hand opening. With the clip on your jean pocket, you can reach into your pocket with your left hand and pull it out with your index finger on the opening mechanism, ready to put to use." I should add, "but NOT your back pocket, unless you modify the clip." The clip tends to catch on the seat of your vehicle if you ride high enough to turn and slide down off the seat when you get out. The blade stays in place when closed with a magnet that DOESN’T touch the blade, keeping the cutting edge protected and preventing accidental opening in your pocket. That is really nice. I like the way the opening lever acts as a guard when the knife is open to protects your hand from slipping onto the cutting edge of the blade in use. Had I designed the knife, I would have made the micatta pieces a tad larger to align exactly with the edges of the liner sides for a better grip and feel, especially when wet. I also notched the micarta at the last notch of the serrated liner lock (away from the pivot end) and directly across on the other liner lock side to make stripping a wire easier with the knife. I converted the hole for a lanyard into a bottle opener. I suppose some people carry a pocket knife around their neck, but I find a bottle opener/metal lid bender more useful in an edc pocket knife. Too bad it doesn't come that way. One more thing. The fiber in the micarta handle will absorb fine dust and dirt in use, You can clean it easily with soap and water, but after you dry it, put a little WD-40 on it, let it stand a bit, and then wipe it off. It penetrates and displaces the water in the fibers. It will not make it slippery or anything after you wipe it off. Urban legend to the contrary, WD-40 is not a lubricant. It frees sticky mechanisms by helping remove dirt and debris. It was originally developed to dry out wet ignition systems.

Great knife, so sharp!

Purchased the Sitivien ST112 for $19.99. Decent flipper but the blade is not centered at rest. Out of the box, the lock is very stiff and the lock is recessed too much where it is very hard to disengage the lock. Over time, after flipping and unlocking the blade several times a day, it gets better. Still doable but not as smooth as some of the others I have from other budget brands sub-$50 (Civivi, CJRB, Eafengrow, Pachmayr, etc). Blade is sharp out of the box and it can still be sharpened to a razors edge. Overall, its ok for $19.99 and a good purchase.
