GP035 Folding Pocket Flipper Knife, Bronze Aluminum Handle

This bad boy served me real well for a good while! I honestly cannot remember when I bought it, but I only stopped using it once I snapped the tip. I've unfortunately had to transition towards thicker blades, but if I need a quick EDC again I'm comin straight for the Samior.

I love this knife. I’ve been carrying one of these knives on me for almost two decades. It’s the perfect self defense knife. The blade is thin, the tip is pointy af. It’d poke through a ribcage like butter. The flick to open it is in the correct side so the blade is as fast as a switch blade to produce. Faster probably. I only carry it for self defense. It’s a horrible tool knife. The tip will snap off easily. The blade is so thin. I carry a second knife for tool purposes.

I originally purchased a CEO compact version. Although I liked it, it was too small and hard for me to hold in my hand. I would constantly have to move it around in order to flip it open. This knife is just the correct size to hold in a hand, not too small, not too long. It really is excellent, It's got great build quality, and I like it alot. I did put a dab of JB Weld to fill in the detent hole, to make it a little bit easier to flip open. I do most of my knives like this anyway and it works just great now. What a sweet little flipper. You're going to really like this knife. Spectacular knife for the money. For the price you can't beat it it's a great buy. I suggest you get one immediately, you won't be sorry. UPDATE...Still one of my favorite knives. I took off a star for two issues. Nothing serious but still a few quirks. First off, the bottom corners of this knife are sharp, i took a file and rounded them off. They no longer gouge into my hand when im flipping the knife open. 2nd issue, the belt clip moves from side to side. This could have easily been fixed when the knife was designed. Adding a small notch into the aluminum and a tiny extruding lip on the belt clip below where the screw holds it on. This would have locked the clip into place. I will include video of the issues. Still yet this knife is well worth the money and it is a great EDC. UPDATE 6-23-22...Still a great little knife, but care must be taken. Blade rusts easily. Be certain you keep it oiled regularly.

UPDATE: This knife has proven itself through a move. I used it to cut open all my packed boxes as well as Amazon packages recieved for my new apartment. It has held an edge very well and is surprisingly tough. I was worried about snapping it a few times cutting box ties and things but it has not skipped a beat. This little knife is not just a looked but also a user! BUY ONE! I have had many expensive knives from ZT, Benchmade, and Microtech. This knife is very well made, lock up is solid, blade centering is perfect, and overall fit and finish is as nice as any of the companies named above. It is very lightweight and the action is super smooth, also the 3d machined clip is a nice touch. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a gentleman's knife to order this one.

My father was interested in an edc pocket knife he would actually carry and this was a good starter knife for him. Since he had no knowledge of pocket knives he was easily impressed and happy with this little knife. I showed him how to flip it open, and that was it. He uses it to open mail and packages. He even uses it to cut his food when needed. My impression of gp035: I like the appearance, size, sharpness, and ease of opening. The aluminum handle has a nice construction feel and weight. I would recommend this pocket knife to open letters and packages. It's an attractive knife for $35

Fantastic knife. Great texture and perfect size.

I like this type of knife but after having the CRKT CEO I was disappointed since that knife will just not take an edge, but this knife WOW!!!! Took a little bit of work with my diamond stones and this is knife is kitchen knife sharp and stays that way. So if the steel is D2 or not it seems to be a good steel. Now the handle is small, smaller than the CEO, and does look more like a pen than a knife which is a positive in my view. Overall I am super pleased and if you like this style of knife don't hesitate to buy this one.

I had previously purchased this in black ABS handle. Previous pivot screw was stripped upon arrival. To my surprise, this pivot screw was also stripped upon arrival. I can not tighten or loosen the pivot screw, because it is stripped, rendering the pivot screw useless. The action on this is a bit sluggish and I can not adjust, because of failed pivot screw. The hand is slip, light and low profile. Blade holding sharpness well with mild to moderate use. Would rate much higher if pivot screw was functional.
