EafengrowEF951 Folding Knife,D2 Blade and G10 Handle with Liner Lock Ball Bearing Pocket Knife EDC Tool for Outdoor Camping Survival(Jade)

I have five other Eafengrow knives, all of which I am impressed with.This knife, considering it's low price, is awesome! It is quite nice, really, and compares favorably to other knives in my collection that are three times the price.Specifically: the knife has an overall lack of tool marks, by which I mean that the scale edges are by no means shiny, but they are clean and attractive, as is the blade spine.The sides of the blade do display a grind pattern, but it is quite fine and consistent. The blade profile has a pronounced upwards curve, which I thought might negatively affect the ergonomics, but it turns out that it is quite useful for me. It should be clear in the images that the blade is fully flat ground, which I personally prefer. Finally, the blade is D2, and has been heat treated in a way that the edge retention is very, very good, and my specimen was unusually sharp out of the box. I have a few other Eafengrow D2 knives that I use specifically for cutting up cardboard boxes, and cardboard is thick, and filled with particles of grit that can take the sharp off an edge pronto. Nevertheless, I am astonished, I mean really astonished, at how many feet of cardboard that I can cut through before needing to resharpen! The blade deployment is fast and smooth. At the rear of the blade's cutting edge, is a large finger choil, which is a feature that is important enough to me that I look for it.The scales are a nice and grippy G10, and somewhat thicker than some, which makes a more secure grip for cutting, with only the slightest increased pocket bulge.The inner steel scales sport large voids on both sides to reduce weight, and I am surprised at how light it is, considering the large size.I bought this model specifically because I need a few folders that have 4 inch long blades, which can be a challenge to find.I should probably mention that this knife is tip-down carry. This might be of importance to some, as tip-up is the most common configuration at this time (2021.) I like tip-down carry for the inherent safety, and I *have* been cut with tip-up knives. However, I confess that I do not like the feel of the grip when the clip is at the blade-hinge end of the handle. For the knives that I keep handy in a kitchen drawer for utility purposes, such as this one, I remove the clips anyway.This is certainly one of the overall best Eafengrow knives that I have so far, and if you need or desire a *4 inch blade*, you will likely be very happy with this model!

The fit and finish in the 900 series is excellent. Overall I am very pleased with the quality and feel. I also own the EF963 (highly recommend for lock-bar lovers). You cannot go wrong for 30 bucks.Some details about this particular model:-sabre grip holds in the hand a little bit differently than a what most people are used to, but feels comfortable and secure nonetheless.-fairly large blade ~4" depending on how you measure it. Not exactly office friendly especially since it kinda looks like an exotic sword-the pocket clip is TIP DOWN CARRY, and rides deep in the pocket. To me it feels a little bit awkward since I'm used to tip up, but if you're coming from a Spyderco Tenacious, this will feel normal to you.-Front flipper opening works really well, even better than the rear flipper IMO. It's really fun to fidget with, and it's very smooth.-Drop shut action!! Aka finger guillotine! Be careful! :)

When I received this knife, the detent ball was so tight that I could barely open it. I broke it in with KPL and Frog Lube, and now I can easily use the rear flipper tab, and Spydie flick from the mid section of the fuller. I can also do a front flip, but it requires a bit more work. I didn't care for the feel of the pocket clip in my hand, but then i lost it when the one securing screw wiggled out while I was sitting at my office desk. I found the securing screw the next day, but not the pocket clip. Overall, I like this knife. It feels good in hand, and has a beautiful blade shape. I'm going to carry it around in a sheath for awhile until I can find some type of universal pocket clip that will work.

Great knife, and Great price.

I've been looking at their knives for awhile. They come up with or 'reinterpret' interesting designs and have intrigued me to try them. HOWEVER, almost all of their knives are unsafe for left hand (pocket) carry. The clips are in the wrong place and most do not have clips that can be switched. This one cannot be changed either, but is in a place that provides safe left hand carry, so I bought it!This is a really good knife, especially for the price. Lock up is as solid as any liner lock I've use at any price. For SHTF, I'd stick with my Tri-ad Lock. For EDC, this a great option! Knife handle is very comfortable and allows for several grip positions. I'll play with it a bit, but I'm guessing it will be great for casual carving at the fireside.The knife came shaving sharp, blade edge centered. The jade G10 looks nice. I would put fit and finish out of the box at about 95%. The G10 was cut in a way that left very vertical edges on the knife handle. Fine if it was a tactical blade, perhaps, but not ideal for an EDC. About 10 mins of 1500 grit wet sanding completely aligned the G10 to scale edges and rounded it just enough to feel like you'd been carrying it a couple years. Now it's one of the most comfortable knives I own. (Certainly several dozen) Sabre grip is awesome and looks great with the curved blade.I highly recommend one. My adult daughter tried to bond with mine. Solid, sharp, comfortable and a great color.

Very cool knife and a very cool price. I wish I could move the pocket clip to the other end of the knife though. Any suggestions on a screw/nut kit that would fit this knife and perhaps use the extra hole on the opposite side of the blade pivot?
