Thumb Open Mini EDC Folding Pocket Knife,Axis Lock Knife,2.7'' S30V Blade,Carbon Fiber Handle,Bugout 533 Knife with Belt Clip,Gift for Man and Dad

This knife is very well made. Fit & finish is 10 out of 10. Blade is razor sharp, perfectly centered, tight lock-up, no blade wobble, very smooth action, and has held the edge for quite a while now...Not trying to cut copper wire or split firewood with it like some of the stupid videos people make... It's a pocket knife. For the price, I'll buy this knife all day long compared to one that cost 10x just because it has an etched butterfly/usa on it. USA companies are pricing themselves out of business...you see it everywhere. I'd prefer something made in USA for a reasonable price, but hard to find anymore. You can lose or ruin a few of these before you worry about the $$$ spent.. Get one while you can!

I have the real knife that this was based on, this looked so much like the original in the pics that I just had to try this one at this price point. Comparing them side by side its easily 90% of the original knife build qualiy!The blade is nice with identical stonewash, not quite as sharp as my original but I’ll put it on the wicked edge sharpener and see what it’ll take. The carbon fiber is excellent, even better than the pics. The axis lock feels slightly heavier in the spring action but fine. The anodized part coloring isn’t as nice. The original is a better, darker anodizing.The only real weakness is the pivot bearings, they feel very rough. I’m going to swap them for brass washers like the original.Overall I’m impressed. I hate buying them instead of supporting my beloved Bench but it’s tough when the original was $260 and I can get 5 of these at 90% of the quality for the same cost.Makes edc carry a little less stressful that this price point

Fantastic knife. Not a BM but the action and build quality are spot on. Love the carbon fiber scales and I don’t believe anyone who purchases this will be disappointed with it. The blade steel is questionable but it came very sharp.

Cheap and flimsy. Definitely not the labeled steel.

Well made, extremely portable, and nice to handle.Decently sharp.Well packaged in pristine condition.Overall a great product.

bad quality

I have a Benchmade for my EDC but lately been carrying other knives to see if I can handle weaning myself from expensive toys, as well as checking them out as a potential gifts for my kid and friends. I saw other companies making knives with the little axis lock (this is the selling point for my EDC, I love this one feature so much) I wondered how this one will compare?Several hundred dollars difference will tell you, you get what you pay for. My EDC is close to $200 and this one was nowhere near that. The knife is extremely light, and the swivel action to open and close isn't that smooth. I've bought other non-axis lock cheapie knives for around $15 that have smoother action/weight balance than this, unfortunately.I kept it as my EDC for a few weeks but it's SO light (I'm a woman with a small frame), I don't enjoy using it. It feels sturdy enough, but for a knife, you want SOME weight to it. It's TOO light. So far I've used it to cut vines and boxes in the yard, open packages, cut paper, and it performs ok, sharpness out of the box was serviceable enough but I just don't feel that confident using it for other stuff I'd normally use my BEnchmade EDC or even my Smith and Wesson knife for. I''l come back in a few weeks after giving it some more abuse testing.

This knife looked great as soon as I opened it. It is a nice copy of the Bugout without being a true clone (no logo) The lock was a little gritty at first. If you get one and the lock doesn't feel great, do this. Get some dish soap and an old toothbrush. Wash it thoroughly under warm water with the dish soap. Be sure to get all around the lock area. Rinse it under running water or with the sink sprayer. Dry with paper towels and blow the excess water out. Then dry it with a hair dryer. Once it is dry, put a drop of oil on the pivot area and on the crossbar lock area. Work it several times. Wipe off any excess oil and keep working the oil in. After a bit, it will be smooth as butter. After the cleaning and oiling, this has become one of my favorites and the price is good considering the carbon fiber and light weight.
