Eafengrow EF223 Folding Knife D2 Blade with G10 Handle Multi EDC Pocket Knife for Outdoor Camping Hiking Survival (orange)

This knife exceeded all of my expectations. As a knifemaker, I critique blades on their craftsmanship, sharpness, durability, weight, etc.Hands down. This is the best knife I have ever bought *Damascus Included*.Right after unboxing I tested for anything loose, damaged, or cracked. Perfect.Next I felt the grip and it feels rugged, durable, and smooth.It is exceptionally light and I can barely feel it in my pocket.The blade is the best part. D2 steel is great when it comes to hardness and durability, but this is the SHARPEST KNIFE I have ever received straight from the factory.I sharpened it my own way and now it beats some of the razors I have in the bathroom and it is incredibly dangerous.That being said handle this with care!Price, durability, and sharpness.... this is unbeatable.I would recommend this to all of MY customers and anyone else in need of a knife just shy of a lightsaber.5 stars all the way.

Everything positive you have read in other reviews is true. Nothing I can add. Only concern for me is, when in the closed position it feels like it could open while in my pocket. Hopefully not. As far as the handle material being sharp on the edges, I wouldn’t have even noticed if I hadn’t read other reviewers remarks, so not an issue.

A good regular carry knife if you need a larger blade. Takes and holds a edge well enough. Pivot tends to loosen over time and a bit of a pain to tighten. Keep an eye on it and tighten before it gets too loose.All in all a good day to day knife you will not feel badly if you scuff up or get dirty. A good value.

Wasn't sure what to expect, but I really like this flipper. Steel came sharp and has stayed sharp. No clue if it's D2, but it acts better than most Chinese stainless steels I've used. The knife is LIGHT! The G10 scales cover a lightweight skeletonized frame with large cutouts, making for a larger knife that carries like there's nothing in your pocket.The bearing is S-M-O-O-T-H, and the detent is solid. The blade stays in place until you decide it doesn't. With a solid flick to get past the detent, the bearing engages and the blade rolls out like...well...use your own imagination to think of something velvety smooth and well lubricated and you'll probably be right--I'm too tired to figure out a good metaphor :) ). There is very little friction.Only downside so far is that there's no thumb stud. Only real way to deploy the blade is to use the flipper, which I've yet to find insufficient. The blade locks up solidly and releases easily.I wish I could trust that the steel is well-treated D2. It would then be worth far more than price being charged. Since D2 is an American-made powdered metallurgy carbon steel, I strongly doubt that this is really D2. Hopefully, there is a rough Chinese carbon steel equivalent and this isn't just the regular ubiquitous Chinese stainless steel. But for the price, I'm happy either way. Like I said, the blade is solid and it holds a somewhat toothy-feeling edge. I'd prefer Chinese companies be upfront with the exact steel they use, and not list the US steel equivalents--I understand the rationale, but find it somewhat dishonest. No clue if that's the clue here.Whatever the case, overall, this knife is a great value for the price.

The edge is very sharp out of the box, not a razor blade but plenty sharp. Edge has held up just fine for me this is my second knife from Eafengrow and both are still sharp. Handle is ergonomic and feels nice in the hand. Blade is not assisted but it flips out easy when you need it to and stays secure in place when you don't. Lock up is solid with no play on the blade. I bought this brand on the recommendation of 704Tactical and I couldn't be happier with them.

High quality materials. The blade is centered very well an the speed and smoothness of the deployment is very good. Probably one of the smoothest knives I’ve ever owned. I know for $20 it won’t have jumping on the spine or texturing on the liner lock but Eafengrow could at least soften the edges of the G10 and get the blade sharp. To me if I can’t shave arm hair with it it’s dull. Maybe it’s up to other people’s standards, idk. I’ll have to soften the edges of the G10, sharpen and strop it and then see how it does. If you’re handy with things like that then I would recommend this knife.Update: Fortunately I was able to round off and contour the edges of the G10, making it much mor comfortable in the hand.I did find it quite difficult to get my thumb in to access the liner lock when closing the knife, so I made a little cutout with a dremel for my thumb to be able to access the liner lock and contoured the G10 in that area.I was able to sharpen it well. A little more difficult to strop than other steels but I got it to shave arm hair.I’m happy with the knife after my mods but not from the factory. I would say to be prepared to put some work in.

Very good knife with a great price.
