Eafengrow EF15 Folding Blade Knives 7.9 inch 9Cr18Mov Blade and G10 Handle Outdoor Camping Knife

Fantastic knife. This is a substantial knife, pretty much maxing out the idea of "pocket", but it's not so big as to be a pain. It's just sizeable and solid. Even with the larger, heavier blade, it still flips open single handed very smooth and easy. If it doesn't lock open when you first try it, just add a little flick of the wrist and it'll snap into place. Once open, it feels very secure, with no wobble at all. The handle is curved well and in my bigger hands, 3 fingers lock in. My pinky fits on the outside, but still comfortably. The jimping and shape of the back of the blade fits my thumb well and makes it an even more secure grip. The blade has a clean satin finish and is plenty sharp out of the box. It's size makes it more suitable for utility than delicate procedures, but it tapers to a nice point that would suffice for little things if necessary. This is a great camp knife. Held up higher on the grip and it's perfect for digging in, stripping bark, etc. A looser middle grip is great for slicing. Held toward the back, with a little swing and I used it to cut back pumpkin vines and other plant stems.

This one is a real hand full. In true Eafengrow fashion, this knife is over built, heavy and extremely strong. It feels perfect in my hand. The action is not snappy, but very smooth. With a little practice, you can get the flipper to cleanly deploy the heavy blade without slinging it. The lock up is positive with no play and can be operated with only one hand. The blade is centered well and is very thick, contributing to both the strength and weight of the knife. The knife came very sharp and well lubed. It carries well in a pocket with the attached clip, however, I plan to acquire a sheath for it and remove the clip. Great value.

I have to agree with the other reviewer; this knife is astounding for so little money! The build quality and workmanship are excellent, it's HEAVY, it's STRONG, the blade deploys VERY smoothly, it locks up solidly, the knife is well balanced and feels good in your hand. It's also VERY sharp. My only complaint, and I hesitate to even mention this, is that on MY sample, the blade centering isn't great. To start this, some of the less expensive (note the I did NOT say "cheap") knives out there are assembled rather hastily. Because of the nature of the liner lock mechanism, the forces of the locking bar (inside the handle) presses on the blade ALL THE TIME, which if those forces are not compensated for can cause the blade to sit at an angle (meaning it's NOT centered). So, what do they DO about that? Well, if they use bronze washers at the pivot point, they normally use two different thicknesses; a thicker washer on the pivot point on the lockbar side and a thinner washer on the other side of the blade (or visa versa, depending on the design). This helps balance out the tendency of the blade (again, due to the lockbar) to sit at an angle. It also requires adjusting the pivot pin screw to that 'JUST RIGHT' amount of torque (to maintain smooth and rapid blade deployment), which is NOT a quick adjustment. I have NOT taken this knife apart yet (I have four or five other knives in the que already), but I suspect that the washers are reversed. I WILL be taking the knife apart and whatever I find out, I'll update this review. Other than that, it is a superb knife for so little money and I'm VERY surprised at the quality. In every sense if is a GREAT bang-for-the-buck knife!

Very nice and very sharp. Happy with this purchase and im pretty picky.

Wow, this knife is well made, smooth action, the best ergonomic size and weight are perfect for me. This is more knife than I expected. Very sharp and a nice overall heft or size and weight. This is my new favorite knife. There's no lanyard fitting but you don't need one. Best action opening & closing ever!!!

Ms. Amanda is right. This puppy is a chunk monster. An exceptional value in my opinion. I appreciate heavy knives. Fit my hand perfect, just like a set of brass knucks. Razor sharp out of the packaging 9Cr18Mov steel. Takes an edge quickly and easily and keeps it. Smooth G10 scales, stainless end caps for that timeless look. Don’t understand the blue ribbing is, so when I disassemble it for cleaning and lubrication, I’m liable to leave it out of reassembly. Mines not loose and rattling at all, just doesn’t add to the appearance. With the bright clip and end cap you won’t be stealthy. Flipper could use a jumping as it’s smooth but I have no problems handling it. Now the bad thing. I came back here to purchase another one, and they’re out of stock. That sorta aggravated me. I like it enough to review it out of stock and nowhere to be found on Amazon. If your large like myself, when you find one grab it. You won’t be disappointed.

Quality and value. Excellent machining, smooth movement, holds edge, very good steel!

I recently purchased this Eafengrow Tactical folding knife as I was wanting an EDC with beefier parameters. I have a couple of rigid blade knives from this company and am impressed with the quality and dependability of their products at remarkable values. This folder is no exception. It is heavier than my other EDC knives being built with quality materials. The G10 handle is smooth and comfortable to handle. The ball bearing feature allows for quick deployment of the blade which locks in place firmly. I like the curve in the blade which give the blade more cutting edge. The blade was sharp from the manufacturer however, I put it to a sharpener and now it is razor sharp. I am well pleased with my purchase.
