ANVIL BLADESMITHS - BULLSHARK 8CR13 - Folding Pocket Knife - Serrated Blade Black - Assisted Open

I can't recommend this knife highly enough. I've carried it every day for the past month now and love it. There's a good bit of heft to it which lends a very sturdy feel to the knife, yet it doesn't feel fat or overweight when it's in your pocket. The assisted opening, which can be activated with either the flipper or studs on both sides of the blade, is quick, smooth and solid. The blade itself is very, very sharp and locks securely in place when it's opened. The G-10 scales feel great in the hand; very soft and grippy. The pocket clip is extremely durable and strong, plus it's seated high up on the handle so there's very little profile showing when it's carried. The glass breaker and seatbelt / paracord cutter are great additional features which transform the Bullshark from just a pocket knife into a potential life-saving tool. My experience with Anvil Bladesmiths' customer support was also outstanding. They're quick to reply and very helpful. I really can't speak highly enough about the company or their product. If you're in the market for a reliable every day carry pocket knife that can do more than just cut things, I highly recommend this blade.

Just received my knife. Out of the box, it appears to be a very descent knife. The blade is razor sharp, absolutely no wobble while the blade is extended, everything is nice and tight and the blade opens smooth and very fast and the belt clip is very sturdy and secures well in my pocket. It has all the features I was looking for in a tactical knife. Appears to be a a lot of knife for $40. It does have some weight to it, but doesn't bother me as it denotes quality. Already considering purchasing another just to have as a backup. Took me about a week to settle on this knife as I researched other related knives and read through so many reviews because I wanted the most bang for my buck, and this one had the best reviews even compared to the S.O.G. I was considering at twice the price. Way better than I expected and completely satisfied with my purchase. Now, I'll have to see if it stands up to the test of time....

Great knife that looks and feels expensive! I have all kinds of very expensive knives, but this is by far my favorite!! I use it as an everyday carry and use it for everything. The only thing I will say as a con, is the screws that hold the hook to the knife came loose very easily. I felt it fall but couldn’t find the screw. Reached out to seller and they were awesome and had great customer service! Sent me several replacement screws ASAP free of charge. Definitely ordering more to have as replacements and to give as gifts.

I am very impressed with this knife. I was using a cheap spring assisted Kershaw knife I received as a gift for years until I forgot it was in my pocket while going through a metal detector at a professional basketball game and had to go ahead and throw it away. (The walk back to the car would have been outrageous and the knife was getting dull) SO naturally I felt naked without a knife and felt that this time I wanted to upgrade a bit. Boy am I glad that I did. This knife is MUCH more sturdy and you can really tell there is a high level of craftsmanship involved in making these. It is somewhat hard to explain, but it just flat out feels well made. This knife has the emergency seat belt / paracord cutter which I've actually used in other applications to perfection. I really like the glass breaker addition as well (better to have it and not need it then need it and not have it). The knife is sharp to the touch, to the point where I have to use way more caution then i'm used to, which isn't a bad thing either. The only minor drawback I could come up with is the way the knife sits when folded. I would say that if it was held in a pocket there could be a slight chance something could get snagged by the tip because it is exposed just slightly. Even with that slight issue it wouldn't come close to making this anything less than 5 stars. You get what you pay for... pay for this!

There are a lot of knives out there, from $5.00 to $300.00. I looked for weeks. I wanted the quick release, window breaker, serrated edge, seat belt cutter and a blade that would not come loose from handle. I found it in this knife. The price was right, my only complaint is the blade needed sharpening. (I'm picky and that is a very easy fix)

I have carried plenty of knives on me daily through the years, and typically you can tell very quickly if not immediately where the weaknesses of a knife will be. This however is the most balanced of all that I’ve put on me. It’s sleek, but has the weight you want in your hand when you think of sturdy. Frame is tight. Blade opens and closes smoothly. Frame surface is ergonomically corse. Cord cutter, glass breaker, and saw tooth are sharp. Steel Blade like a thick razor. Most importantly, the belt/pocket clip is dense, and as rigid a knife clip as I’ve pocketed. You can get a nice knife on Amazon for $15-$25 that does the job for a while, which I have done several times. Or you can spend a little more, and get the real quality you’re happy to pay for.

I gave this product a few weeks before I write this review .I love it .It's easy to open and close . it keeps and reforms an excellent edge . The belt clip is great , it keeps it's tension and the mounting system is solid . I use this knife every day and I find no fault ,so far . I 'd have to say this is a great bargain .

I love this knife so much I bought my brother one. The weigh feels solid in you hand. The feel and texture of the handle is fantastic. The blade is very shape and has a beautiful shape. The open functions smooth and easy, one finger assisted. I haven't had a chance to use the belt cutting blade of glass breaking tip yet but they both seem solid. After quite a bit of use as my new EDC there is no noticeable dulling, wiggle in the blade or lag in the opening.
