Review on GVDV Tactical Pocket Knife - 7CR17 Stainless Steel, 3.4" Titanium Coated Blade, Safety Liner-Lock For Camping Hunting Hiking With Belt Clip (Grey) by Jeff Pfaff

Revainrating 5 out of 5

One hell of a value

This is one very sturdy foldable knife for the price, there is no way I'd guess it were $20 for the quality given here, considering you are also given a whetstone in a bag that includes the knife in it as well. It has a very decent heft to it, the furniture on it feels nice and well-sanded, no splintering of any kind after a few months of use. The retention mechanism definitely requires me to use both hands 99% of the time when unfolding it and folding it back up. It is quite stiff and the screw on the side does not adjust this pressure on the blade. When open, it locks very solidly and has practically zero tolerance for budging around, it stays very put.On the side of safety with this blade, I have tried numerous times to see if there is anyway I could somehow poke myself with either the edge or tip of the blade when completely folded and I have found absolutely no way to touch the business end of the knife when secured properly. I have not used the clip very much on the side of the piece, it is quite stiff as one would expect, but it would do the job. I would only add that because this is a very hefty knife it may be slightly uncomfortable to have this on your person for prolonged periods as it will pull on your clothing.The stone is not amazing, but as others say, it will do the job and one cannot complain much about it when considering the overall price of this knife. It is quite small as one would imagine. It certainly can sharpen but I'd advise looking up on proper technique before getting started as it is very easy to damage any blade with improper technique. I'm still trying to get better with just this little stone.Really not much to complain about when it's this cheap and so remarkably adequate.

Pros
  • ‎Ambidextrous
Cons
  • The handle is slippery when wet or greasy
