GP035 CF

LOVE IT SO MUCH! I'm not sure about the heat treatment as I've not used it yet. But as is, even if the heat treatment is "okay", I'm SUPER happy about it! The action is SMOOTH, and when it's locked it's SOLID, ZERO play in the blade when it's out, side-to-side or up-&-down. The blade edge, is SUPER sharp. I ran my finger lightly down the edge (do not do that as it's a recipe for a cut finger) and honestly it didn't feel sharp, but when I cut paper it was effortlessly cutting through it like butter! Smoother than my Spyderco s110v knife at 19° per side! Also, I'm not into leather pouches, this would be my first one, but honestly this knife makes me want to use the leather pouch. It's soft leather, and between the actual pouch, the metal ring, and the leather handle, there's many ways to carry it! I have knives in s110v, s35vn, CPM S30V, 5Cr13Mov, 7Cr17Mov, 14C28N, and Sleipner, so while this is my first M390, from my understanding of this metal's specs unless this M390 blade performs very poorly I won't be changing my review. I'm way more satisfied with this purchase than I thought I would be. And I'm WAY MORE satisfied with the leather pouch than I thought I'd be. If there's any cons (so far), it's that the screws aren't titanium as well, as only the clip is, not the screws. STILL, all together it's a great deal if you're looking into buying a type of stiletto knife. COULDN'T BE HAPPIER! And unless I change/edit my review then everything I said still stands.

This small pocket knife is exceptionally sharp. It is very thin and long. It is great at opening boxes and does so quite easily. I would compare this knife to being the size of a pen. It comes in a leather sheath with a small leather handle. The pocket knife itself does have a blue clip on the side to clip directly onto a pocket. Due to it’s very narrow size, I personally find it difficult to safely hold it and keep fingers out of harms way while opening and closing. Erecting the knife is a bit easier than closing as you simply press down on the mechanical lever to expose the blade. When closing the blade, you need to press the metal release to the side but that is exactly where the blade folds down, so you need to assist the blade while folding it into its slot. It appears to be quality made, but is at the higher spectrum of price ranges.

I like it , expecially m390 steel. Don't forget to sharpen it after purchase. it is not a blade sharp from the box.

Let me start by saying that this knife isn’t bad, it’s just not good. Starting with the size, this knife is tiny. It weighs barely anything, and the blade is smaller than a scalpel width. As a result of its size, while it is sharp it is not strong, making anything but straight cuts feel like the knife is bending. Similarly the knifes size, matched with the round handle make the knife difficult to index and control in your hand. The final issue with the blade is the folding feature doesn’t function; the weight of the blade doesn’t provide enough lasting momentum to overcome the friction so the knife won’t flick all the way open. Despite these issues, the knife is sharp and does do a decent cut. The sheath is a nice thickness of leather, though the decision to try and make it a keychain type was questionable. Overall, if you’re looking for a light duty, precision blade this probably would do for you. For more general daily use, this is a weak selection that can be easily outdone by other knives at this same price point.

The hinge screws were overtightened at the factory. It’s impossible to disassemble this knife for cleaning & relubrication.

i have several of their knives. all great. this one is to except for the fact that it doesn't close quite all the way. and that occasionally it will open in my pocket. as a result, I just have to leave it on my desk

I know it sounds kind of like that movie revenge of the nerds but I used to put pens in my shirt pocket. So now instead of pens I actually put this knife in my shirt pocket. This small flipper pocket gentleman knife is small and slim and looks just like a pen in your pocket. Im going to keep it short and simple: This is the sharpest EDC I own, and I have used it constantly for 1 month to open boxes, cut duct tape, cut rope and it slices all of those items with ease. I don't have any EDC in my collection that looks like this, so I'm very satisfied to add this to my collection. Hope you will too.

It's pretty neat and perhaps more than most people will need, but for the knife aficionado wanting to feel cool opening their mail and packages, this might be the perfect gift.
