Review on Folding knife Cold Steel Voyager Large Clip Point Plain Edge (29AC) black by Felicita Carwallo ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great quality, happy with it one hundred percent!

After buying the first time was at a loss: "What . I bought it?" But in a week I would not change this knife for any other. Because it has become just an extension of the hand. And even somehow uncomfortable when it is not in your pocket. First of all, I had to get used to the lock, after the axis lock with its one-handed closing, the knife seemed uncomfortable. I was struck by the low weight of the knife, with the same dimensions, it is lighter than the Ganzo740, which I carried before. The handle does not slip in the hand at all, even when wet, but at the same time it does not knead the hand with a notch. Its shape roughly corresponds to the average male hand, the owners of the small palm, incl. women will not be as comfortable. Now about the blade. Fortunately, I got a knife with AUS-10A. If you go through the information on the Internet, then with other steels on this knife sometimes there were incidents with a thermal (undercooked, overcooked), but I, like the other user of a knife with AUS-10, was lucky. The hardness of the steel is perfectly balanced by the impact strength, it keeps the sharpening perfectly, and there are no chips of the RC. But like everything about this knife, this steel takes some getting used to. At first I tried to sharpen it as 440C, as a result, the knife either did not sharpen or did not hold sharpening. Only a certain selection of abrasive stones in terms of grain, hardness and application procedure brought results. The knife is sharpened "into a razor" and keeps sharpening for a long time. At the same time, if the bones are not chopped, in the future a small edit is quite enough. I can recommend this knife as an EDC for men leading an active lifestyle (fishing, hunting, forestry, traveling). This is a complete knife with no compromises, totally worth the money.

Pros
  • Light weight with side liners, handle ergonomics, quality of steel on the blade, shape, length and width of the blade, reliable lock, simplicity and reliability of the design (no small elements, springs).
Cons
  • The classic type of lock eliminates the possibility of closing the knife with one hand. You can, of course, try to close on the reverse grip, but without the proper skill it is slow and fraught with injury. Steel is very difficult, it requires a competent selection of abrasives and sharpening techniques. The sharpening angle of the knife out of the box is only suitable for chopping wood, as always with Coldsteel knives, it must be resharpened to use the knife for its intended purpose.
