Hunting Knives - pocket knife, folding knives

Click here for more information I started out looking for a fishing knife to put in my new kayak. I was also looking for a safety tool to help free me from my vehicle if it ever went into the drink. I frequently drive over a bridge that goes 26 miles over water and I've seen too many vehicles fished out of the lake. This knife turned out to be the perfect combo.



A small disk inserted into the top of the blade near where it meets the handle makes it very easy to open, even when your hands are wet and slippery. The combo of half serrated and half sharpened edge makes it good for cleaning fish, cutting rope or other utility uses. The windshield shattering metal nib is on the butt of the handle and the seat belt cutter is right next to it. You can use both without having to open or turn the knife, a big plus in an emergency. It also has a very strong and long clip firmly attached to the handle. This is tight enough to slip onto the waist of your jeans or into a life vest pocket if you don't wear a belt. The knife is heavy enough to add some heft to your stroke should you ever have to break a windshield underwater. The metal looks similar to what might be used on one of their pistols and it is assembled with numerous star headed screws rather than rivets. You should be able to tighten or clean it as needed. Good purchase...patting myself on the back as I write!

I got this knife because it has the seatbelt cutter and window breaking tip to have as an all-around emergency and daily folding knife. This knife has good weight and balance. The handle fits perfectly in my hand and feels comfortable. This is my first Smith & Wesson knife and I'd buy another one based on the quality of this one.

I recently purchased this knife and was amazed at the wonderful quality for so cheap. The blade lock-up is VERY tight absolutly no wiggle what-so-ever. The deployment is quite slow but with some wrist flick it speeds up the process some. It is rather heavy at 5.7 ounces but it is a tough knife. It has the flow-through design so mud and water can flow on through. The clip is tip down non-movable, however is sits very deeply in the pocket. The steel liner is not skeletonized but it is attached with adjustable screws to disassemble the knife if necessary. Out of the box the blade needs quite the touching up on its edge, for it is rather dull. There is a small thumb ramp, but no grooves to catch your thumb, however the underneath hold the index finger superbly. The handle itself is very ergonomic and just wants to be held.

Its a good knife, if you aren't going to be using it as a rescuer. I kept it in the pocket of my turnout gear, but had to take it out. The steel isn't stainless so if it gets water on it, rust spots apear almost instantly. Also, the steel of the blade it soft enought that when I used it to try and tighten up a screw (Yes I know I should have used a screw driver, but on the fire ground you use what you have) the blade chipped all along its lengh. Its gotten moved to my car so I can use it if I have to get out, but its just not tough enough to use to help others. Bottom line - if you're going to be using a knife day-to-day, find something with a hard, stainless steel blade.

Got this to replace my Smith & Wesson work knife thinking that the glass breaker and the seat belt cutter would be a great addition. The blade itself comes very sharp and I'm pleased with that, though the profile is a bit larger than I'm used to. The liner lock is solid, like the other knife I had. The weight is good and I'm sure the glass breaker would work fine, but the safety cutter does NOT work. I work for a company that makes car seats and we have seat belt material sitting around, the safety cutter will not cut it, won't cut rope, can't cut paper, I see no applicable use for the safety cutter, in fact I feel that if you tried to use the safety cutter in an emergency situation it would do more harm than good because you would be waisting a lot of time trying to make it work instead of just turning the knife around and using the blade.



Maybe I got a defective blade, I don't know, I'm going to contact smith & wesson and if nothing happens there, I'm giong to take the knife apart and try to sharpen the safety cutter.



And if that doesn't work, I'll just use it as a regular knife until I can upgrade.

What prompted me to look at "First Responder Knives" was my wife's wish for me to purchase her one of those "Emergency Hammers" that can break the window and cut a seatbelt so you can get out of a wreck. Rather than get her something that might not ever be used, or be difficult to swing in a damaged and wrecked car, I thought the ideal solution would be a First Responder Knife. The SWFRS has a clip which can be clipped to a visor within reach if the car rolls, and will hold it in place. It can be held firmly in her hand (it is slightly small for me, since I have large hands, but still can be held comfortably and securely in mine.) A simple swing and it will shatter an automotive glass window with the strong metal tip. The seatbelt cutter appears to be easy to use and very sharp. The knife blade is large and locks into place firmly. My wife can open the knife with her thumb one handed quite easily too, and the lock mechanism (a liner lock) works well and again is easy for her to use, and she has no worries of the blade closing on her fingers. From my point of view I really like this knife (we bought two, one for each car). It is very well made, and appears that it could be totally disassembled with torx bits and hex wrenches. The knife blade opens smoothly with a snap role of my thumb, and locks into place and feels like a solid piece of steel. The pocket clip works well, and is bent over in such a way that pocketing it should not loosen the screws. As for the size, it fits my hand fairly well, and like one of the reviews stated "it begs to be held." The black portion, the stock, appears to be zytex. The blade is sharp too. It is very well designed. If Smith and Wesson is reading this, glow in the dark plastic stocks would be an even nicer touch.



The only thing I do not like about the knife is the serrated edge. If used, it should keep its edge for a long time, except serrated edges cannot be sharpened easily. However, this knife is better made than knives I have paid $80 for. I highly recommend this product. It is well made, thoughtfully designed, and inexpensive enough so you could put one in every car you own. - Pocket Knife - Folding Knives - Knife - Folding Knife

Click here for more information Didn't really know what to expect at first with this knife, but it turned out to be everything I wanted. It's very sharp, it deploys with a flick of the wrist (after a while, all you need literally is a flick of the wrist!), the weight is just right, the liner lock is strong, and the handle feels great. The only problems are that the pocket clip is very tight, the clip position is not in a spot most convenient for pulling out of the pocket quickly, and the blade has a tendency to lean to one side of the inner handle when not deployed. Generally a great knife and I may just get another one day.

This knife is great. Razor sharp.. I know what that means as I am a chef and can shave my hair with my chefs knives. Honed it with a steel, which is not a sharpening stone, and shaved the hair on my arm. A steel is magnetized to align the electrons on the edge of the blade. It is not a sharpening stone. It is not really to sharpen a blade. Anyways, really love this knife. I am constantly cutting boxes, plastic, everything that ruins knife edges quickly, and it stays rather sharp. Life time warranty!! I may remove the belt clip, as it kind of rubs my hand the wrong way. It sets right in the middle of my palm. Wish it was on the other side...note to Smith and Wesson...works better for a lefty.

The Smith & Wesson Oasis SW423B is a great little knife.



It is heavier than most knifes of this size, but that extra weight is balanced well and gives me a better feeling. I've used knives that were of similar size but lighter and I didn't have the confidence I have with this.



The movement and locking action are very smooth but not loose. Once this knife is locked, it stays locked.

The ergonomics are great. It can be used with multiple holding styles. The butt of the knife makes for an additional weapon when you don't want to use the blade. The blade itself is strong. Out of the box it was not terribly sharp, but after a little sharpening the edge is a beauty.



I own a couple of knives, but this is my choice for EDC.

The price is deceptive. It compares favorably to others costing quite a bit more.

I purchased two of these knives and both were returned within weeks do to a failure in the locking mechanics and the blade generally being to loose. Eventually, the blade would fall to one side and scrape while closing. Its a great looking knife, but unfortunately just doesn't hold up.

Great Knife! I was looking for an everyday knife that I could carry for multiple uses. Smith & Wesson is a trusted name so I bought it and was not disappointed! The knife is lightweight and very sharp. The knife is easy to open and close and the pocket clip is very handy!

I bought this knife for my boyfriend as a gift after his knife went missing. I really know nothing about knives and bought this one based on look, price and reviews. I must say he loves it and uses it all the time!

I got this knife because I wanted a sturdy, trusty non-saw blade. This knife delivers everything. It's sturdy enough to handle hard cuts, compact enough to fit in my back pocket and not kill me when I sit down, and very stylish when it comes to knifes. Overall, great knife, I've had no problems with it.

I was very impressed with the quality of this blade. You may be thinking, it's only a $17 blade, how could can it be? Well it's go a great weight and nice action. The blade is plenty sharp, but could use a little bit of sharpening as do most knives. As someone else said, the only downside is release takes a while to get acquainted with. - Smith And Wesson - Folding Knives - Pocket Knife - Oasis

Rescue Knife - emergency, knife

Click here for more information My knife just arrived today, and I am very impressed. It has a good weight in the hand without feeling heavy, and without feeling too light and cheap. The construction is rock solid and feels like it can take a serious beating without showing any wear. I have large hands, and the grip is comfortable and unlikely to slip. The liner lock is feels very sturdy and the knife opens quickly and smoothly with a flick of the thumb. It doesn't lock when closed, which would be nice, but that's really not an issue. It fits nicely in the pocket too. With the knife in my pocket and clipped to the pocket edge, it doesn't feel to bulky or get in my way.



This is an excellent knife, especially at such a low price.

Great knife, belt cutter and hammer included! Real help for hobby too, not only for those who intended to dive to save somebody from sank vehicle. Smooth blade movement, one hand operated (either one!), sharp, including a spring on the handle so you can wear it practically anywhere. Nylon sheath available too! Recommended!

First off, what's not in the description and is hard to make out from the picture is that this knife has an emergency glass breaker on the butt end of the handle- a good extra feature considering it's being owned with emergency use in mind.



This is an excellent knife; very smooth blade motion, locks into place without jiggling, very sharp blade and point- very. Pant/belt clip is very well attached/tight- you won't have to worry about this falling loose, its almost idiot-proof. Tanto design gives very solid feel along with strong, solid spine. Highly recommended. Seller provides shipping information as well- very important to me.

Just received this knife, speedy shipping from seller. Knife is light and feels balanced in hand. Smooth opening (non-assisted) and solid locking mechanism. Blade wasn't very sharp but came up nicely once on the stone. Serrated portion was fine though. This unit will be kept in my truck's emergency kit so it will not be an EDC.

I ordered the knife while in Afghanistan to have as an everyday pocket knife and as a last option weapon. The knife is built well and i like the design and the size. It's also quick and easy to open with one hand. The only complaint I have is it's not very sharp. The drop from the point to the angle is pretty dull and the rest of the blade is decently sharp. It takes a few strokes to cut through simple things but it gets the job done. It could easily be sharpened to your liking. I would get the blade again especialy for this price.

For the price, you cannot beat this knife for utility. It has a sharp, nice-sized blade, a very grip-able handle, opens reasonably well and locks securely. I use it to carry while on my motorcycle. A good knife goes a long way when you're on a bike. The serrations allow you to easily cut thru materials a straight edge might have trouble with, the tanto-shaped blade can double as a straight screwdriver (not recommended) and the glass punch can double as a hammer if needed...the seatbelt cutter is just a bonus.

It is a great knife, comes out of the box sharp. Has glass breaker and seat belt cutter, hope never need to use them but glad to have them at hand. The texture of grip is really nice when cutting. When hold in hand if were to use glass breaker had a nice spot on top for your thumb. Fits great in pocket, nice low profile. The knife is a litter bigger than expected, even seeing the dimensions being correct, still was bigger than i guess i suspected. But would rather think knife was little to big than to small. GREAT PRODUCT!

this is my second s&w knife and i am very happy. i'm going overseas soon doing convoys and i wanted a multipurpose knife that i can count on and i found that in this knife. the blade and point are practically razor sharp and the serrated portion is big enough to work but doesn't dominate the whole blade. i tested the seat belt cutter on some zip ties and a thick canvas strap and it performed up to par. it also is out of the way enough that it doesn't effect the grip. i have yet to use the glass breaker but i'm look for any reason to. it seems solid and it a big part of the handle. the rubber grip feels secure and not cheap that is will have a negative affect on your grasp. for not even $30 with shipping and handling what are you really risking? if you use is for a year and loose it or break it (which doesn't seems likely) you should have gotten your use out of it. i'm happy, secure and confident in my purchase- you should be too. - Emergency - Knife - Pocket Knife - Rescue Knife

Rescue Knife - emergency, knife

Folding Knife - folding knife, knife

Click here for more information I have hundreds of tactical folders to compare this knife to and it stands up superbly. It's build quality is outstanding, opens quickly and easily, quality of the steel is adequate, the blade shape is attractive and useful, the grip is comfortable and much improved over earlier version (they had sand paper, current version has thin rubber inserts), and Kershaw's service and support is perfect.

In my duty use in the military, I have used Blurs for several years and they always impress. For $55 you should buy several and give them as heirloom gifts. Other knives with these features and opening speed, including automatics like Microtech and ProTech, will cost three times as much. A great knife that will last forever with care.

It took me a minute to understand the right way to open this knife, it's not like the Chive or Leek. Once I did, OH YEAH; just push straight forward with your thumb and this thing is Black Lightning. The grip is such that you could hold onto the knife if it was covered in grease. I love all of Ken Onion's designs but this is the best one yet from Kershaw.

Fun, cool, outstanding, fast, well built, ok ok I get it on with the review.

Best Tactical folder I own. here's why

Upside;

1. Fastest assisted opener I've seen. A little thumb pressure on the really well crafted thumb studs and "smack". Opens in a "blur".

2. Blade stregth is superb. Arrives sharp, stays sharp, and cuts with ease.

3. Perfect size. Extremely comfertable in the hand.

4. The grip is very good. An almost soft rubbery silicone grip tape along the outside will not allow you to let go.

5. Pre drilled holes for tip up or tip down carry.

6. If you get the Blur with the partially serrated edges, the serrations are wicked sharp.

7. Well built, put it through abuse fella's just don't get stupid with it.



Downside;

1. Thumb jimping is pretty weak, however, the grip tape works.

2. The pocket clip is reallllly tight. Tough to draw from the pocket without bringing your pocket with it.



Overall, I own several, buy it. Its great. It is the one knife I take everyday on duty. I refuse to leave my patrol car without it. Good job Kershaw.

To be honest I was a little taken a back by its size out of the box. This is a serious blade, at first I was really hesitant to wear it in public. I've since gotten use to it. No one has made any comments about it being over the top. This being said, I live in the county side where carrying a large pocket knife is not abnormal.



Two months in, my initial unease has faded. This is a fantastic knife, the grip feels natural and sure, even when wet. It's faster and more reliable than any switch blade could be, and it's legal. It keeps its edge very well, opens perfectly, every time and hypothetically speaking it will do the job if you're ever in a dark alley and need to make a point about the cons of mugging a perfect stranger.*****



It's a beautiful and effective tool, I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a larger sized, quick opening pocket knife.



*Two months into owning this knife, I was attacked and put to the ground in a choke hold, when my hand found this knife, you have no idea how relived I was. It opened perfectly and quickly with one hand,

(I was pinned face down) All it took was a minor cut to get the guy off me, I was able to hold him off until help arrived.



For those of you who think it can't happen, be prepared.

this is a very fast assisted open knife. the handles have non slip inserts that are very comfortable. you just have to keep in mind that this s the high carbon model and it will rust very quickly if not oiled frequently. all around great knife and shaving sharp out of the box.

I have owned several Kershaw folders over many years. There is no question that this knife is a great tool, but just knowing some differences might make it a better fit. The clip holds like crazy! so if you are pulling it in and out of your pocket all day it takes some getting used to. The handle texture is like nothing else I've seen, very unlikely to slip out of your hand. But if you put your hand in your pocket it will rub against and that can be irritating. I like that the point is not as narrow as other Kershaws, way more robust. To reiterate, this review is all positive and this knife will perform in every way. I would buy this knife again.

I have owned many knives over the years but this one has to be the best. I also own the Leek and Scallion. I would rank them in order with Blur best, Scallion 2nd and Leek 3rd. They are all better than all the other brands I own. The Blur just fits the hand so well and it is big and solid enough to do all the hard outside work I put it through. It holds an edge better than most and I use the clip for money as I don't like it hanging from the clip and can get to it much easier in my pocket. The speed safe on this is great. I have put this knife through it all summer now using it from cutting cabbage, broccoli, and other veggies out of the garden to edging my sidewalk with it, and every other job imaginable. I throw it in the sink with the dishes and wash it along with the rest. I have sharpened it one time and it has held that edge very well. I can't imagine a more useful knife and I highly recommend it. - Folding Knife - Knife - Pocket Knife - Edc

Folding Knife - folding knife, knife

Pocket Knife - gerber, pocket knife

Click here for more information This knife is great. It clips perfectly on the inside edge of my jeans pocket, and I use it many times each day for opening boxes, cabling packages, etc. It holds its edge for a very long time in between sharpenings, and, more importantly, it keeps its grip and doesn't move, fall off, or open in my pocket. I got my first one at a local store, which no longer carries Gerber knives. When I lost it by leaving it at a job, I searched high and low locally before I finally tried Amazon. Amazon's price was great and I loved the knife so much that I bought 4, just in case I lose one (or more) again.

This knife has become indispensable in my daily routine. I've used it for cutting clay out of a backhoe bucket, opening packages, pulling weeds, and cutting cheese. It is easy to handle, easy to clean, and really holds and edge well.



The serrated edge is now essential to me. I really don't have any use for common straight blades that don't have that saw edge to work through tough stems or ornery boxes.



You won't be disappointed!

Unlike some people I like the clip on this knife. It allows me to carry it clipped to my right front pocket and it stays out of my way. The thin design and profile of the knife keep it out of my way when reaching into my pocket for spare change or car keys. I stopped carrying a knife for a long time because I couldn't find just the knife that I wanted. This one is it though. I've had it now for about three weeks and haven't had a need to re-edge it yet. This one's a keeper.

Having used mainly CRTK knives of this type before, I was somewhat dubious at the $15 price. However, for the most part, I haven't been dissappointed.



Pros:

+Very small size

+Good level of out-of-box sharpness

+Easy to unlock and sheathe knife with one hand

+Stiff opening action



Cons:

-Stiff opening action

-No way to hard-lock the blade open





What I dislike is the opening action - it is slow to open with one hand. Something I liked about the CRTK knives was that I could very easily open it with one hand. I didn't even really need to use my wrist at all. The gerber is just stiff enough to make it an inconsistent thing to open the knife one handed.



Additionally, the CRKT knives have a mechanism to lock the blade open more securely, so that its more difficult to put the blade away accidentally. The gerber lacks this.



Overall, this is a decent product at a killer price. I use it mainly to cut cardboard, and it does that easily.

I won't repeat all the good points others have made about this knife, but one drawback I didn't notice anyone mentioning is that the handle surface coating is very low friction to the hand - almost slippery. It seems like a very durable coating but it has less grip than any other knife handle I've had (a lot), even cheap ones. The opening tab which is on the base of the blade once open, and some thumb grip grooves on the top help a lot, but still, a slippery handle is no good thing on a knife. Otherwise, it is a very sharp, quick opening, attractive knife with a high quality look and feel, and at the price, I would still buy it again.

Once I removed the pocket clip (which I can't stand; you'll need a T6), it instantly became my favorite daily carry knife. After some adjustment, I find the combination of the finger guard and thumb stud a vast improvement for one-handed operation over a thumb stud alone. The liner lock is an excellent, reliable design; unlike the ones on my Buck knives which can easily release while using the knife. Thin, light weight, sturdy construction, nice feel and grip. Highly recommended.

I used this knife specifically for my work in the military, and the clip is perfect to fit in my right front pocket. I could crawl around in the dirt, jump and run around and the knife would always still be there in my pocket. I used it for a variety of uses from opening food containers to cutting rope or sharpening sticks for building shelters. It's also so small and convenient that whenever someone would need a knife i could whip it out of my pocket with ease before anyone else would have a chance to reach for their leatherman or gerber on their belt.



The only downside to this knife is that eventually I did lose it because i attached it to the front of my vest and then lost it while crawling around in some thick bushes. I wanted to look cool because someone else was wearing their knife on the front of their vest but the clip wasn't as secure there and it came loose. I'm confident that if I had kept it in my front pocket I'd still have it today. I'm ordering a new one though, and I suggest you do to! it's durrable and rugged and sure to stay in your pocket. Even the handle part of the knife has small holes so if need be you could dummy cord it with rope to your gear, belt, or wherever you use it the most. - Gerber - Pocket Knife - Small - Utility

Pocket Knife - gerber, pocket knife

Personal Defense - pocket knife, folding knife

Click here for more information wonderful, truly wonderful. it looks great, keeps its edge depending on stress output, has a good feel, is well balanced, flips open with the greatest of ease(I would recommend flicking it open often when first getting it to make the withdrawl very smooth), and looks cool over-all. It is much longer than you would anticipate. The one and only flaw is that the blade was only painted black. So when I kept it in my pocket with my keys, it now has plenty of little dots and one long scratch which are anything but un-noticeable. To conclude, I would recommend it with the up most sincerity.

I was looking for an attractive knife for carrying around and this is perfect.. The other folding stiletto with the pearl handle is a little too plasticky and cheap-looking.



The black aluminum handle is lightweight and the blade long. It's very solid; the blade doesn't wiggle at all. Unfortunately the blade arrived about as sharp as as a sewing scissor. I literally couldn't cut myself with it no matter how hard I sliced. The blade is cut, but it's just rounded at the very edge. Of course, it's supposed to be a stabbing knife (and the tip is very sharp).



This is a good pocket knife to carry for defense but it would probably break if you tried using it regularly in the wilderness or for cutting boxes.



I don't own any other real knives and was surprised that the steel is merely finished black; it's not black straight through. Sharpening the knife scraped off nearly all of the finish. It may be possible to sharpen it without scratching the finish if you use one of those locked-angle sharpening systems for precision. I'm somewhat concerned about the durability of the steel without the protective finish.

The knife has its own great quality for itself. the price cant beat beat for what you get. The whole hold of it is also great your assured a nice firm grip to hold it to and to get straight to the point it can cut amazingly. once again great value for what you would pay for a more expensive folding knife.

Just recieved the knife in the mail today and am fairly pleased with it for what I paid. The one thing that disappointed me right out of the box, is it wasnt the same knife. It had a different handle but im ok with that. The knife blade looks great, and is razor sharp. The thumb stud feels like its very sturdy, and the blade isnt loose in any way. The one thing that I dont like is the plastic pieces that are on the outside of the knife. They are cheap, light weight and a little bit loose. Other than that, very pleased.

This knife came from the factory with an edge on it so sharp it could shave hair. The point on this knife is extremely sharp, perfect for penetration. It has a great weight and feel to the knife. The lock is great, and the knife can be opened with one hand if need be, with practice. Overall, great knife for a really excellent price!

This is a nice knife for the price. Mine, unlike the other reviewers, came very sharp all the way around. This knife is very similar to the Cold Steel Ti-Lite which sells for around 90$. When i bought the knife, it was only 5.99. Since then, the price has gone up, which is why i gave it four stars instead of five. For a 6$ knife, it is awesome. For 10$ it is still worth it, just not quite as spectacular as far as value is concerned. The handle is solid, the blade is solid, and the clip is solid. It opens easily and can be drawn with one hand. The lock sticks a tad to begin with, but that goes away with age.

AWESOME BLADE. I LOVE IT. BUT ONCE I GOT IT I DIDN'T WANT TO TAKE IT OUT OF THE HOUSE BECAUSE ITS LONG! I don't want the cops breathin' down my neck about how long the blade is and how it could potentially kill a man because it could go in between the ribs. I just it for the house as an everyday knife. It mostly cuts open my mail or packages that I order from amazon. Worth the buy, pointy tip, not bad on the sharpness when it comes out the box, I would suggest to get it sharpened though after a while. All in all GREAT BUY! FAST SHIPPING TOO!

This knife is light and has a 5 inch handle + 3.8 inch blade. Comes out to be around 9 inch knife which is pretty darn comfortable. Those little up 'n down extensions on the blade prevent the knife from slipping out. The knife has a very very very fine point (the front of the blade). I poked a truck tire like it was butter. This knife is great for self defense (poking), but not for cutting stuff like bread.



This knife is great for the money, but don't expect to be as strong as a throwing knife. I think if you bend the blade hard enough, it will break.





Nevertheless, I would recommend this item as an easy to hide and carry self defense.

this blade is,by far, my best blade. shipping was weeks earlier than it told me. Dont beleive the review about how dull the balde is because i tested that right out of the box and now theres a slit in my thumb. now to open just push the thing on the blade and flick open. with just a few flicks u will get the hang of it. - Pocket Knife - Folding Knife - Knife - Stiletto

Small But Useful - multi-tool, swiss tech

Click here for more information It took about two months of every-day use, on a key chain with two other keys, before the Phillips head burrowed a hole into my jeans pocket, so I went back to Victorianox's pocket-friendly Swiss Army Classic.



The size and shape are nice and discreet. The metal is high quality for the cost and it's sturdy. The blade is very good, the handle system is very well designed and it locks open; the serrated edge is excellent for rope; the plain edge is a simple, one-sided bevel that's sharp, sturdy and holds a good edge. The screwdrivers work, but the slotted (flathead) ones cannot generate much torque since the blade is part of the handle (the Phillips is less tricky); overall they are sufficient for house/office work, but insufficient for locknuts or rust. The bottle opener works well (a can/ bottle opening combo would be much more useful in the same space). The locking mechanism was so stiff that it was inconvenient to open for about the first month - which meant that I didn't use it as much as I would have liked, but there were no fears of accidental opening. If I didn't mind patching pockets, I'd still use it; it never damaged anything else in my pockets - it's just like another key.

This thing is amazing for how cheap it is. It made it through security on the airplanes with no problem. The only problem I have is when i use the screwdriver my hand is holding the blade so i have to be careful not to squeeze down, but that's minor. Cool product.

The first thing most people reach for when they realize that they don't have a tool is their keys. This being the case, I have a small light and this Swiss Tech tool on my key chain. You forget that they are there until you need them. It will not last forever. I have gone through a few of these over time. A little play will develop and they can fall off. I usually expect that it is going to be good for at least 2 years. One of them broke when I dropped my keys. That being said, this is probably the coolest thing ever. You can cut off price tags, open boxes, and turn small screws. Used it to replace the batteries on the micro light, also on my key chain. Also good for food packages that don't want to open. There is no way to cover everything that I use this on, it is just darn handy. If you take a flight somewhere, you will want to remember to leave this in the car.

My husband has had one of these for over a year (or has it been two years now?), and we use it all the time, especially for opening cardboard boxes from Amazon! It's such a useful little gadget, I'm ordering one for my dad. Great Father's Day gift.

While there are some logical uses for this Swiss Tech Key, it seems almost a PITA to use it at most times. Opening it for the knife is actually quite dangerous, just as the way it is folded together. As for the keychain part, it also has a huge downfall: every time you use it, it comes off! Then you have to put it back on. I always forget this fact, too, which leads to my keys falling down, and sometimes that's not good! I suggest finding another utility key.

I ordered this as a gift....when I recieved the package in the mail the swiss tech box was there, but the tool itself was missing. I was very disappointed. It was tool late to to wait for them to replace it.

I had one of these for about two months before the Phillips screwdriver on it broke. One of the four "blades" simply cracked off while I was removing a screw. I wasn't applying a lot of force, and if it had been made better, it wouldn't have fallen apart.



I really like the design, I just wish the stainless steel they used wasn't so brittle.

This tool is a good idea, and has some useful stuff on it. However, maybe it's just me, but I have a heck of a time getting this thing opened. You have to get your finger nails into a tiny little notch (and since as a guy I always keep my nails cut short, that's not easy), and apply a fair amount of pressure to get it open without your nails slipping out of the notch. I hardly ever use it because I know it's going to be a 3 minute struggle just to get the thing open.



I'm leaving it at 3-stars (and not lower) in the hope that maybe it just needs to be broken in more and it will start opening more easily, and also because the size is nice (it's no more obtrusive than a normal key).



It's also cool how the part that attaches to the key ring comes undone when you open it, so it's easy to take on and off the key ring for use.

I first got this free with a utility knife I got for my husband, and kept it on my keyring. When it got misplaced I realized how much I really relied on it! For everything from removing the housing on the rear brake light on the car to opening the (seriously adult-proof wrapped) kids Christmas presents. I use the blade and philips head most, but the flat head has come in handy, too. I wouldn't rely on it for a bottle opener, though. Also very convienent to keep it on the keyring, so it's almost always on me. - Multi-tool - Swiss Tech - Gift Idea - Pocket Knife - Keychain - Small But Useful
